While I was driving to work this morning, I noticed that Kitty's tire pressure sensor light was on. What concerned me was not so much the idea of low tire pressure as the fact that the car wasn't handling any differently, and none of the tires seemed to be particularly flat after a visual inspection - I was under the impression that the pressure sensor was there to warn you if one of the tires was seriously over-or-underinflated, and would've been very annoyed if the sensor was having issues. Fortunately, after pulling in to an air station, I took a measurement and discovered that the front drivers' side tire was actually somewhat underinflated - 24 psi instead of the normal 32. I filled it up and lo and behold, the sensor light turned off. Apparently it detects "getting low" status as well as "seriously low" status.

I really love my car. =D
