Healthy tires keep your trip smooth, efficient, and safe. If you’re launching a theme‑park week, confirm your pick‑up at Orlando car rental and give the car a quick walk‑around before leaving the garage.
TPMS light: what it means
Modern cars use a Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) to warn when one or more tires are low or when temperatures drop. If the light comes on after start‑up, don’t panic: park safely and check pressures ‘cold’ (before driving) with a station gauge or portable inflator.
The right PSI—fast
The correct pressure is on the driver‑door placard, not the tire sidewall. Add air to reach that number—then drive a few minutes and recheck. Lights may take some time to reset automatically; avoid pressing hidden ‘reset’ buttons unless the rental documentation tells you to.
What renters can do
- Top up air to the door‑sticker PSI and recheck in 10–15 minutes of driving.
- Use the gas‑station compressor, add in short bursts, and keep valve caps.
- Check the spare or inflator kit so you’re not learning it at midnight.
- Report any nail, bubble, or damage immediately—photos help.
What renters shouldn’t do
- Don’t drive on a flat or a tire with exposed cords.
- Don’t over‑inflate ‘for better mpg’—it reduces grip and comfort.
- Don’t rotate tires, patch sidewalls, or mix tire sizes yourself.
- Don’t ignore a TPMS light that returns after filling.
