How to Activate the Tire Pressure Monitoring in Civic?
2 Answers
Civic tire pressure monitoring activation method: After inflating the tires, press and hold the SET button for 3 seconds. While pressing, the tire pressure monitoring light on the dashboard will illuminate. After 3 seconds, a beep sound will be heard, and the dashboard light will turn off, indicating successful setup. Unlike directly measuring each tire's pressure, this monitoring system observes the vehicle by comparing rolling radius and rotational characteristics of each wheel/tire to detect significant underinflation during driving. The Civic measures 4517mm in length, 1799mm in width, and 1434mm in height, with a 2700mm wheelbase. Its engine delivers maximum power of 130kW and peak torque of 220Nm.
The tire pressure monitoring system on the Civic is actually automatically activated. As soon as you start the vehicle, it works silently without the need for manual switching. If you want to check the tire pressure values, try this: After ignition, use the buttons on the left side of the steering wheel to navigate to the 'Vehicle Information' menu on the dashboard, where the pressure of each tire is usually displayed, which is quite intuitive. If the tire pressure warning light comes on, don't panic—it's mostly due to low pressure. First, use a tire pressure gauge to check if there's a lack of air. After refilling to the standard value, simply calibrate it in the settings. This is crucial for driving safety, as unstable tire pressure can worsen handling and increase fuel consumption. I often remind my friends to check regularly to avoid breakdowns on the road. The Civic's system is quite reliable—just make it a habit.
