¿Qué consecuencia se da si la presión de los neumáticos es inferior a la necesaria?
What happens if tyre pressure is lower than required?
- ASe reducen la estabilidad y la seguridad del vehículo.The vehicle's stability and safety are reduced.
- BMejora la adherencia sobre pavimento mojado.Grip on wet road surfaces improves.
- CDisminuye el consumo de carburante.Fuel consumption goes down.
Show answer
Correct answer
- ASe reducen la estabilidad y la seguridad del vehículo.The vehicle's stability and safety are reduced.
Explanation
When the inflation pressure is lower than required, the tyres deform and wear more at the edges of the tread. The vehicle also loses stability, grip on wet road surfaces is reduced and fuel consumption increases, so the vehicle's safety is compromised.
