Volkswagen New Beetle Tire Pressure Light in Lakewood, CO

On a Volkswagen New Beetle, the tire pressure light means one or more monitored tires are at least 25 percent below the pressure shown on the placard inside the driver’s door jamb. The warning is a horseshoe-shaped tire outline with an exclamation point inside. A steadily illuminated light calls for tire pressure to be set at the next stop, while a light that flashes for about a minute at startup and then remains on indicates a tire pressure monitoring system fault. Larry H. Miller Volkswagen Lakewood in Lakewood, CO, checks the tires, sensors, valve stems, and system operation so the diagnosis separates a tire needing air or repair from a sensor needing replacement. Drivers can schedule service online with the dealership.

What the tire pressure light means on a Volkswagen New Beetle

The tire pressure light appears as a horseshoe-shaped tire outline with an exclamation point inside. When it stays steadily illuminated, one or more tires are at least 25 percent below the pressure shown on the placard inside the driver’s door jamb. This can happen after a cold night because tire pressure drops about one psi for every ten degrees. An underinflated tire wears faster and runs hotter, so the pressure should be set at the next stop.

If the light stays on even though the tires appear fully inflated, a tire pressure sensor signal and battery status should be checked. If the light flashes for about a minute at startup and then stays on, the monitoring system has a fault, usually involving a sensor whose battery has run down. A professional diagnosis distinguishes a pressure concern from a monitoring-system concern.
