00:00Hi guys and welcome to drive spark and in today's video we are going to tell you something very
00:22important that can actually save your life and your belongings if you are traveling or going
00:27on a road trip and today's video is going to be all about tpms that is the tire pressure monitoring
00:33system and how does the tire pressure monitoring system can save you from scams in india now before
00:38we start talking about the tpms when was tpms invented now tpms was invented back in 1977 however
00:46it was not introduced commercially until six years later that is in 1983 pausa introduced the 911
00:52and with that they introduced the technology of the tpms and also in 2012 it became mandatory for
00:59all vehicles to use tpms that is tire pressure monitoring system as a standard feature across
01:05the uk for the cars and the passenger safety now in india people run a scam and this scam is really
01:12really scary now what happens is that if your vehicle does not have tpms obviously before going for a trip
01:18you will check your tires and you will go along so what people do is if you're driving on the highway
01:23or on an empty road a biker will suddenly come next to you and say that one of your tires has less tire
01:29so what do you do in this situation first of all you start panicking since you don't have tpms obviously
01:34you cannot keep track of which tire has deflated so you quickly stop the car you get out in fact the
01:41person who has just told you that your tire is deflated has another group coming from behind now what he
01:47does is for example if you are traveling alone or if you're traveling two people that is you're
01:53sitting on the front two seats and your luggage is at the back seat now you will obviously stop the car
01:58at the side of the road you will unlock the door now when you unlock the door from the driver's side
02:03obviously all the doors unlock automatically and if he says that the left front tire has gone bad
02:08you will obviously get out of the car go across the car and start checking for it now the second group
02:15that is coming from behind once you have just got down and gone across the car they will quietly come
02:20since all the doors are open they will open the door from behind and obviously they will take some
02:25belongings or some valuable stuff that you have in the car without even you noticing it so yeah this
02:31is a scam that actually goes around in india across the country at various places and obviously the
02:38best way to avoid this is tpms if and if you have tpms in your car you cannot fall for this scam
02:44now in a recent video we have seen that a couple was traveling in pune and what happened exactly is
02:50a man came next to the window he told him to roll down the window and he said that your tire is flat
02:55or maybe like you have less air in the tire so what the driver did was very carefully he checked his tpms
03:02because his car had tpms and he told the guy next to it that all my tires are fine my tpms is working
03:08and it is showing that all the tires are inflated so the scammer quickly just evaded the situation
03:21because he was helpless and the man who was driving the car did not fall for his trap so tpms hence
03:28proved to be a very very safe thing now obviously a lot of cars in india have started getting tpms as a
03:34standard feature but if your vehicle does not have tpms you can actually get it retrofitted from
03:41outside now many companies make tpms systems and you can get it retrofitted so what that can do is
03:48first of all it can save you from scams like this your valuable your belonging your life anything
03:53all the three things will be safe if you have tpms otherwise if you fall for scams like these
03:59then your life and your personal belongings are at risk and if your vehicle does not have tpms
04:05obviously it will be harmful for your vehicle because if one of the tires has less air or is
04:09deflated and you don't know about it then that tire will go bad and you will have to shell out money to
04:16buy a new tire in fact if you ride on a punctured tire for a very long time the rim or the alloy will
04:22also get damaged so you have to shell out a lot of money to get that in repair now how do you save that
04:28obviously when you're buying a car pick a variant that has tpms because it's a very very handy and
04:34an important safety feature that you will get in your vehicle but if you don't have tpms it is highly
04:39recommended that you can purchase a tpms kit from amazon or from any other website or or even from
04:46aftermarket accessory shops and get it installed in your vehicles so yeah guys tpms is a very very
04:52important thing and it can save your vehicle's life your life your belonging and everything and you
04:58should definitely have it in your car if you like this video and if you found this video informative
