Jeep Grand Cherokee Tire Pressure FAQs

The real answer to this question is just about anything! The pressure of your tires is likely to change, especially when it comes to weather. In either extreme heat or extreme cold, you will find that your tires are over- or under-inflated, which is something that is going to happen a lot here in Michigan. This is because when air molecules experience cooler temperatures, they end up moving slowly, and they stick close together. Due to this phenomenon, they take up less space than they did before, which results in your tires losing some pressure. The opposite is true in warmer weather! Those air molecules spread out more and move more quickly, lending themselves to more space being occupied and resulting in overinflation. In both circumstances, it's important to test your tires and make sure that they are in the recommended area of inflation!

You've likely heard about TPMS before, but do you know how it works and how it can help keep you in the know about the pressure of your tires? Your Jeep Grand Cherokee is equipped with the latest technology that makes it easier than ever to know the kind of pressure you currently are working with. The point of this system is to warn you whenever at least one or more of your tires are under-inflated. You'll be getting a yellow symbol alert on your dashboard, which is in the shape of a tire cross-section with an exclamation point. There are sensors in each of your tires that are connected to this system and are constantly monitoring the pressure levels. Whenever this alert comes around, it's most definitely something that we can help you with here at Westborn Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram.
