Bentley Continental Supersports Tire Pressure Light

Bentley Continental Supersports Tire Pressure Light service at Bentley Boston in Wayland, MA

Frequently asked questions
2011 Bentley Continental Supersports shown

On the Bentley Continental Supersports, the tire pressure light means one or more monitored tires are at least 25 percent below the pressure shown on the driver’s door-jamb placard, or that the tire-pressure monitoring system has a fault. The symbol is a horseshoe-shaped tire outline with an exclamation point inside. A steady light calls for tire pressure to be checked and set at the next stop, while a light that flashes for about a minute at start-up before remaining illuminated indicates a monitoring-system fault. Bentley Boston helps Bentley Continental Supersports drivers identify whether the visit involves air pressure, a puncture, a leaking valve stem, or a tire-pressure sensor concern.

Bentley Boston in Wayland, MA, provides tire-pressure-light diagnosis for the Bentley Continental Supersports across all model years.

What the tire pressure light means on a Bentley Continental Supersports

The warning appears as a horseshoe-shaped tire outline with an exclamation point inside. When it stays steadily illuminated, one or more monitored tires are at least 25 percent below the placard pressure on the driver’s door jamb. This can happen after a cold night because tire pressure drops about one psi for every ten degrees. A tire may look fully inflated while still requiring a pressure check. If the light flashes for about a minute when the vehicle starts and then stays on, the tire-pressure monitoring system itself has a fault, usually involving a sensor battery that has run down. Underinflation causes a tire to wear faster and run hotter, so the pressure should be set at the next stop.

What the diagnosis covers at Bentley Boston

The tire pressure light service at Bentley Boston begins with a pressure check of every monitored tire against the placard on the driver’s door jamb. The service team also scans each tire-pressure sensor for its signal and battery status. Each tire is inspected for punctures and leaking valve stems, helping separate a tire that needs air or a repair from a sensor that needs replacing. After any sensor or tire work, the system is relearned so the monitoring equipment can recognize the serviced components. Drivers noticing a steady light, a light after a temperature drop, or a flashing light can schedule service at Bentley Boston.

Frequently Asked Questions

5 common questions answered

What does the tire pressure light look like and mean on a Bentley Continental Supersports?It looks like a horseshoe-shaped tire outline with an exclamation point and means a monitored tire is at least 25 percent below placard pressure or the monitoring system has a fault.

A steady light indicates low tire pressure. A flashing light at start-up that remains on indicates a tire-pressure monitoring-system fault.

Why is the tire pressure light on when the tires look full or after a cold night?The light can remain on when a tire is at least 25 percent below placard pressure even if the tire looks full, and cold temperatures reduce pressure.

Tire pressure drops about one psi for every ten degrees. A pressure check against the driver’s door-jamb placard identifies the condition.

What does a flashing tire pressure light mean?A light that flashes for about a minute at start-up and then stays on means the tire-pressure monitoring system has a fault.

The fault is usually a sensor whose battery has run down. Sensor signal and battery status can be checked during the diagnosis.

Should the Bentley Continental Supersports be driven with the tire pressure light on?The pressure should be set at the next stop because an underinflated tire wears faster and runs hotter.

A steady light calls for a pressure check, while a flashing light followed by a steady light calls for the monitoring system to be checked. The service separates a tire needing air or repair from a sensor concern.
