Does the 2017 Lavida come with tire pressure monitoring?

2017 Lavida comes with tire pressure monitoring. The tire pressure monitoring alarm system in the 2017 Lavida is enabled by default and only activates the tire pressure warning light when abnormal tire pressure is detected, alerting the driver. Therefore, there is no physical button for the tire pressure monitoring system in the car. Below is an introduction to the 2017 Lavida's tire pressure monitoring: 1. The Volkswagen Lavida's tire pressure monitoring system uses data transmitted by the ABS system sensors to monitor the rotational speed and rolling circumference changes of each wheel. If the rolling circumference of a wheel changes, the warning light will illuminate. 2. The Lavida's tire pressure monitoring values are not displayed on the dashboard. It is recommended to carry a tire pressure measurement tool to easily monitor the tire pressure of the vehicle's tires.
I remember the 2017 Volkswagen Lavida actually came with a tire pressure monitoring function, but it depends on the specific trim level. Like the high-end Comfort version I bought back then, it was equipped with this feature - a small warning icon would appear on the dashboard when tire pressure was abnormal. The base models might lack this function, so you need to check the specifications when purchasing. The tire pressure monitor is quite practical as it helps detect tire issues promptly to prevent blowouts, especially giving more peace of mind during highway driving. I recommend doing a simple monthly tire pressure check yourself - no need for professional tools, just buy a cheap pressure gauge from roadside shops. Developing this good habit can save you lots of trouble and extend tire lifespan. Overall, the high-end Lavida is worth considering for that extra layer of safety assurance.
The 2017 Lavida indeed supports tire pressure monitoring, which varies by model. I compared it back then—it uses an indirect system that doesn't directly measure each tire's pressure but monitors rotational speed differences via ABS sensors to determine pressure loss. If you bought the Fashionline or Highline trim, it mostly comes with this feature; the base model requires aftermarket installation. Adding an aftermarket monitor costs just a few hundred yuan and isn't too troublesome. Low tire pressure not only compromises safety but also increases fuel consumption, so I recommend regular tire maintenance—don’t rely solely on the system; manual checks are more reliable. Maintaining proper pressure also enhances handling, making the drive steadier. This feature suits detail-oriented car enthusiasts—small function, big impact.
