1998 BUICK PARK AVENUE brake light

Cheek
Use a good quality pocket-type gage t~ check tire
pressure. You can’t tell. if your tires ae properly inflated
simply by
looking at them. Radial tires may lo&
properly inflated even when they’re underinnflated.
Be sure to put the
valve caps back on the valve stems.
They help prevent leaks by
keeping OU~ dirt md moisture.
(?-&e& pgessnre sy$&ekB @f Eqa@p&)
The check tire pressure system can de& you to a
large change in the pressure of one tire. The system
won’t
alert you before you chive that a tire is low or
flat. You must begin driving before the system will
work properly.
The
TIRE PRESSURE LOW CHECK TIRES message
will appear on the Driver hf~~~~~ati~n Center (DK) if
pressure in one tire becomes at least 10 psi (69 Wa)
lower or higher than the other thee tires. The check tire
pressure system won’t alert you if more than one tire is
Bow or high, or if the system is not calibrated properly.
It also won’t tell YOU which tire is Bow or high.
E the anti-lock brake system waning light comes on,
the check tire pressure system may not be working
properly. See your deder for service. (Also,
see
“Anti-hck Brake System Wzming Light” in the Index.)
