Sometimes, the basic parts of your car can be the most confusing. There are plenty of automobile features that might seem self-explanatory, but understanding exactly how they work can be another story entirely.

Take, for instance, the tire pressure monitor in your vehicle. This is an electronic system in your car that can be direct or indirect. According to the TREAD Act, passed in 2006 by Congress, all autos are required to be equipped with the technology.

A direct system uses a sensor mounted in the wheel to measure the air pressure. When it falls below 25% of the recommended level, it will alert you.

An indirect system works with your vehicleâ€™s anti-lock brakes. If the tire pressure is low, that wheel will roll more slowly than the others. In turn, it will be detected by the carâ€™s computer and send you a notification.

The 2018 Nissan Versa S sedan is equipped with this technology. It has a number of other assistive features, including power steering and ABS. Variable speed intermittent wipers also go a long way toward protecting you in bad weather.
