How to activate the tire pressure monitoring in Lexus ES200?

The tire pressure monitoring in Lexus ES200 is located in the display screen at the center of the dashboard. Click the 'i' icon to open the menu content. There are three commonly used methods for tire pressure monitoring: Direct Tire Pressure Monitoring: This system uses pressure sensors installed in each tire to directly measure the tire pressure. The pressure information is transmitted from inside the tire to a central receiver module via a wireless transmitter, and the data for each tire's pressure is then displayed. The system automatically alerts when the tire pressure is too low or 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 the tire pressure. The indirect tire pressure alert system essentially relies on calculating the rolling radius of the tires to monitor pressure. Introduction to Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS): This system combines the advantages of both the above systems. It is equipped with direct sensors in two diagonally opposite tires and a 4-wheel indirect system. Compared to using a full direct system, this hybrid system can reduce costs and overcome the limitation of indirect systems, which cannot detect when multiple tires simultaneously have low pressure. However, it still cannot provide real-time data on the actual pressure in all four tires as a direct system does.
