Air pressure in tires very low
PULL OVER SAFELY - Check for flat tire
This alert indicates that one or more of the tires on your vehicle is extremely low or flat.
The tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) has detected that the air pressure in one or more of your tires is
significantly lower than the recommended cold tire pressure.
You should pull over carefully as soon as possible. In a safe location, check for a flat tire.
You can request Tesla roadside assistance options (mobile tire, loaner wheel, tow) if required. See
Roadside Assistance on page 203
In a non-emergency situation, it is recommended that you visit a local tire shop for assistance or schedule service
using your Tesla Mobile App.
See Maintaining Tire Pressures on page 169
pressure (RCP) for your vehicle's tires, how to check tire pressures, and how to keep your tires properly inflated.
The alert will clear once the TPMS has a consistent tire pressure measurement for each of your tires within 3 psi of
the recommended cold pressure.
• The alert and Tire Pressure indicator light may still be present immediately after you have filled your tires to the
recommended cold pressure, but both should clear once you have driven a short distance.
• You may need to drive over 15 mph (25 km/h) for at least 10 minutes for the Tire Pressure Monitoring System to
measure and report your updated tire pressures.

Air pressure below recommendation for tires
Check pressure and refill air as needed
This alert does NOT indicate that there is a flat tire.
The tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) has detected that the air pressure in one or more of your tires is at least
20% lower than the recommended cold tire pressure.
See Maintaining Tire Pressures on page 169
pressure (RCP) for your vehicle's tires, how to check tire pressures, and how to keep your tires properly inflated.
This alert may appear in cold weather because the air in your tires naturally contracts when it becomes cold,
decreasing tire pressures.
• Although drops in tire pressure are expected in colder weather, air should still be added to maintain the
recommended cold tire pressure.
• The alert may clear as the vehicle is driven. This is because the tires will warm up and the tire pressure will
increase.
◦ Even if the alert clears, the tires should still be refilled with air once they have cooled. For the best experience
with your vehicle, the recommended cold tire pressure should be maintained at all times.
The alert should clear once the Tire Pressure Monitoring System detects that each of your tires is inflated to the
recommended cold pressure.
• The alert and Tire Pressure indicator light may still be present immediately after you have filled your tires to the
recommended cold pressure, but both should clear once you have driven a short distance.
