FAQs

How do I switch between pressure units?

The gauge typically has a button to cycle through PSI, BAR, kPa, and kg/cm2. Consult the user manual for the specific button and steps.

How often should I check my tyre pressure?

It is recommended to check your tyre pressure at least once a month and before long trips.

How do I know the correct tyre pressure for my vehicle?

The recommended tyre pressure is usually found on a sticker inside the driver's side doorjamb or in your vehicle's owner's manual.

What tread depth is considered unsafe?

The legal minimum tread depth is 1.6mm (2/32 inch). Replace your tyres when they reach this depth.

How do I charge the gauge?

Use the provided charging cable and connect it to a USB power source.

What is the warranty period?

The Michelin Rechargeable Tyre Tread Depth & Pressure Gauge typically comes with a warranty period, often 1-2 years. Refer to the product packaging or the manufacturer's website for specific warranty details.

Can I use this gauge on different types of tyres?

Yes, it can be used on a wide range of tyres, including those on cars, motorcycles, and light trucks. Ensure the pressure range is suitable for your tyres.

Troubleshooting

The gauge does not turn on.

Ensure the gauge is charged. Connect it to a power source and allow it to charge for at least 30 minutes. If it still doesn't turn on, contact customer support.

The pressure readings are inaccurate.

Ensure the gauge nozzle is firmly seated on the valve stem. Try recalibrating the gauge by pressing it onto a known pressure source. If the issue persists, the gauge may need to be replaced.

The display is dim or unreadable.

Charge the gauge. The backlight may be dim due to a low battery. Clean the screen with a soft cloth to remove any smudges or debris.

The LED torch is not working.

Charge the gauge fully. Check the LED for any physical damage. If it still does not work, the LED may be faulty, and you should contact customer support.
