Tire Pressure Warning Sensor. Here comes the Cold!
When seasons change, so does technology. Did you know that many people experience their Tire Pressure Light coming on when the cold fall weather first arrives?
Weather causes your tire pressure to change. Cold temperatures may result in your tires to be underinflated. Meanwhile, warmer weather may result in your tires being overinflated.
Technology in most cars today includes a tire pressure monitor built in for each wheel that is always taking a measurement of the inflation of that tire.
A deviation from the recommended inflation pressure of your tires will cause the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) on your car to be activated. Most TPMS measure your tires when they become significantly underinflated, and not overinflated.
How does weather have an impact on the tires of your vehicle?
Tires on a vehicle are inflated with air for the most part*. There is a basic relationship between the change in temperature and pressure. When the temperature outside the tire changes, it will affect the pressure inside the tire.
When fall season arrives, the cooler temperatures will almost certainly lower your tire pressure. Your tire pressure was most likely set during the hotter summer months, and the first major cold wave will cause the air to contract inside your tire, lowering the pressure, thus setting off your Tire Pressure Monitoring Sensor (ie: TPMS).
If one of your tires is underinflated already, then the TPMS alarm is more prone to go off. If your car is outside (as opposed to a garage) it is more likely to be affected by the colder weather.
Preventative Maintenance for your tires
If you don’t want to experience the TPMS light coming up on your dashboard, it is recommended that you are checking your tire pressure on a monthly basis. Checking in the morning when the tires are colder is the best time to do this.
Friction between the rubber of your tire and the road causes tires to heat up. This increases the pressure inside your tire. As a result, checking tire pressure after driving will likely give a reading that is incorrectly a higher pressure reading.
If you notice the TPMS light illuminate on your dashboard, you should visit your service center to check your tire inflation right away. If you drive on underinflated tires, this could hurt you in two ways. First, it will negatively affect gas mileage. Second, it will speed up the process of your tire wear and will likely result in a safety hazard which of poor and dangerous handling. The more friction created between the rubber of the tire and the asphalt (driving on underinflated tires) can cause your tires to overheat. This increases the risk of a blowout.
*Always resort to your owner’s manual for your vehicles recommended cold tire inflation PSI.
*Some service centers use nitrogen: Nitrogen molecules are larger than oxygen molecules and air Seepage is thus reduced through the tire walls and where the tire meets the rim. Any moisture in the tire is also eliminated, which can affect inflation.

Monthly Pep Rally
On Thursday September 4th, the employees of Ardmore Toyota gathered for our monthly Pep Rally.
We recognized the accomplishments of our August.
Special recognition went to our Finance Director Alison, our Office Manager Lena, Sales Associates Qasim & Ron, Express Service Tech Jimmy and Service Advisor Don.
Thank you to all our customers for helping make August a memorable month at Ardmore Toyota.
Max Paul’s Central City Toyota proudly teamed up with Families Forward Philadelphia and The School District of Philadelphia on August 21st, 2014 to help with local families and children. University Volunteers were also on hand as book bags were given away to local children and everyone was treated to an exciting Pizza Party.
Families Forward Philadelphia’s mission is to help homeless families become healthy, productive, and self-reliant. They provide shelter, transitional housing, permanent supportive housing, intensive case management, and out-of-school education for the children and teens in their care. FFP plays an important role in offering a pathway out of poverty and homelessness in Philadelphia, supporting an average of 300 families annually across their programs, including over 500 children.
Tragically, homelessness frequently breaks up families, as a majority of shelter policies deny access to older boys or fathers. FFP is one of the few agencies in Philadelphia capable of housing the entire family, allowing both parents to be with their children during this time of crisis, and specifically designing programs to accept larger families and families with more acute issues.

Japanese Exchange students visit Ardmore Toyota
On Tuesday August 24th, 2014, Max Paul’s Ardmore Toyota hosted for the 3rd consecutive year, Japanese Exchange students from the University of Pennsylvania English Language Programs. These students are the future Engineers and Businesspeople of Toyota Motor Corporation. They visit the United States with an amazing opportunity to learn more about the American Culture and the American buying experience. One of their biggest highlights according to UPenn Program Coordinator Katie Ryan is “visiting Ardmore Toyota and experiencing a full service American Toyota dealership and learning the different aspects of the dealership.” The students are treated to a two hour visit that includes a Question and Answer session with Ryan Pesin of Ardmore Toyota, followed by a complete Tour of Ardmore Toyota. The students engage in Facebook contests and get prizes from the dealership.
On the day the students visited, Ardmore Toyota was donating a 2014 Toyota Prius c to Lower Merion Township. On hand were Ryan Pesin from Ardmore Toyota and Bob Duncan from Lower Merion Township. This partnership is now on its 5th Prius that Ardmore Toyota has donated to the township to use for Inspections and Township Management.
Max Paul has always been very keen on introducing students to the Automotive Industry and Central City Toyota and Ardmore Toyota. Ever since Central City Toyota started in University City in 1969, The School District of Philadelphia, as well as the UTI Exton Program for Student Technician training and Cobbs Creek Recreation Center have visited Central City Toyota many times. In addition, Max has continued that community support with students at the Ardmore Community Center as well as many other student involved organizations and schools.
On Tuesday August 24th, 2014, Max Paul’s Ardmore Toyota donated their 5th Prius to Lower Merion Township. On hand were Ryan Pesin from Ardmore Toyota and Bob Duncan from Lower Merion Township. This partnership is now on its 5th Prius that Ardmore Toyota has donated to the township to use for Inspections and Township Management.
As a Hybrid that gets 53 Miles Per Gallon in the City, the township is equipped with one of the most advanced Hybrid models that saves the township on gas and also helps the environment. This is a 2014 Toyota Prius c in the color of Summer Rain Metallic. Signs By Tomorrow of Ardmore, Pennsylvania assisted in the wrapping of this Prius c model. As a special surprise, Japanese Exchange students from the University of Penn English Language Programs happened to be visiting Ardmore Toyota the same day and took photos of the Prius c donated by Ardmore Toyota to Lower Merion Township. These students are the future Engineers and businesspeople of Toyota Motor Corporation.
Max Paul has always been very involved with the local community ever since Central City Toyota started in University City in 1969, including supporting Ronald McDonald House, The School District of Philadelphia, and many other important parts of the Philadelphia Community. He has continued that community support with Lower Merion Township which is where Ardmore Toyota resides.
