Does the IZOA have a tire pressure monitoring function?
1 Answers
The IZOA is equipped with a tire pressure monitoring function. However, Toyota IZOA's tire pressure monitoring is not an active monitoring feature. It only displays information on the dashboard when there is an abnormality in the tires. The display does not show specific numerical values but indicates which tire has an issue. Tire Pressure Monitoring: Tire pressure monitoring involves real-time automatic monitoring of tire pressure during driving and alerts the driver in case of tire leaks or low pressure to ensure driving safety. There are three common types of tire pressure monitoring systems: Direct Tire Pressure Monitoring: Direct tire pressure monitoring systems use pressure sensors installed in each tire to directly measure tire pressure. The pressure information is transmitted wirelessly from inside the tire to a central receiver module, which then displays the tire pressure data. The system automatically alerts the driver if the tire pressure is too low or if there is a leak. Indirect Tire Pressure Monitoring: When the pressure in a tire decreases, the vehicle's weight causes the rolling radius of that wheel to become smaller, resulting in a faster rotation speed compared to other wheels. By comparing the differences in rotation speeds between tires, the system monitors tire pressure. Indirect tire pressure monitoring systems essentially rely on calculating the rolling radius of the tires to monitor pressure. Introduction to Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS): TPMS combines the advantages of both direct and indirect systems. It is equipped with direct sensors in two diagonally opposite tires and includes a 4-wheel indirect system. Compared to a full direct system, this hybrid system reduces costs and overcomes the limitation of indirect systems, which cannot detect simultaneous low pressure in multiple tires. However, it still cannot provide real-time pressure data for all four tires as a direct system does.
