Madevilz Posted September 26, 2019 at 03:14 PM Report Share Posted September 26, 2019 at 03:14 PM I am buying a new set of wheel for my winter tires.I have the option to add tire sensors to the wheels. I'd like to know if the Fusion has the tire sensor already integrated, or do I need to add them to my wheels? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont believe Canada has this law. My ex car didnt even have this feature. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My ex car didnt even have this feature.Yes it is a US law. However rollovers due to low air pressure can happen anywhere. Do you check the air in your tires often enough to guarantee it is correct? A 10 degree F change in air temperature changes the pressure in the tires by 1 psi. I would expect that to be more of a problem in Canada than in the US. jj2me 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4cylinder Posted September 27, 2019 at 05:57 PM Report Share Posted September 27, 2019 at 05:57 PM Not installing TPMS will cause your car to throw a fault message every time you start it up. You'll still be able to drive but do you really want to live with that alarm on startup and the warning light on your dash for the entire drive? jj2me 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
