Low Tire Pressure Light on!
Hey Peeps!
My Low Tire Pressure Light has been on since i purchased the car. i took my car to the dealership and they told me that because the tires and rims are after market wheels, they don't have the sensors, and thats why the light is on...can i get this light turned off somehow?
Please help!....thanks!
also, my car was brought over from the east coast, do i need to be more cautious for rust because of this??...thanks!!!

You mught want to confirm that with the dealer and with other members, but I'm sure I've heard them mention that.

Since it doesn't, then that could be a little annoying...

If you don't reach that distance (in one trip) (at speeds above 25 mph) then it sounds like you won't see the light at all....
Sounds like it's not as bothersome as I thought, and only for winter months.
Don't forget to check pressures and adjust as necessary tho, since the system isn't working to warn you.....

i switched my tires on my stock rims to winters and i came back an hour later asking why the light was on..he said you have to reset it. he said i have to check my manual or ask infiniti...i guess the people who put on my tires were too lazy to do it...but im lazy too..he said u gotta do some sequence of things to reset it

I don't keep my cars outside of their warranty periods - at least not the majority of my past cars. For that reason, I do what the manufacturer recommends. i used to be obsessed with using synthetic, but it just seemed to be a waste in my case as I didn't lengthen the change intervals.
