The TPMS light should illuminate briefly when you start your car, but then turn off afterwards. If your 1998 Oldsmobile Intrigue has a tire pressure light that illuminates in the dashboard when you start your vehicle, it has TPMS sensors. TPMS means tire pressure monitoring system. Many vehicles are equipped with a TPMS sensor in each wheel to detect the tire pressure of each tire. When you drive your Intrigue, the air inside your tires warms up and expands, so to get an accurate reading, check the tire pressure when the car has not been driven recently.
It is best to check the tire pressure on your Intrigue in the morning before the car has been used or when you have driven it for less than a mile.
Don't use the maximum pressure indicated on the sidewall of your tires. Open the driver side door on your Intrigue and look for a sticker that indicates what the tire pressure should be.
Did you know that the most important thing you can do to care for your tires and improve your fuel economy is to maintain the proper air pressure? Checking the tire pressure in your 1998 Oldsmobile Intrigue is relatively easy and important to do on a regular basis.
