What is indicated by the activation of the low air pressure alarm and light?

The activation of the low air pressure alarm and light indicates that there is a potential air pressure failure in the system. This warning serves as an important safety feature, alerting the driver that the air pressure has fallen below a safe threshold necessary for the proper functioning of the vehicle's braking system. When the air pressure is insufficient, it can compromise the effectiveness of the air brakes, leading to increased stopping distances or brake failure. Therefore, the presence of this warning suggests that immediate action is required to assess and address the air pressure levels before continuing operation of the vehicle to ensure safety on the road.
