How to Check the Tire Pressure Monitoring in Octavia?
2 Answers
Octavia's tire pressure monitoring can be viewed on the dashboard. The tire pressure monitoring is always on. When the tire pressure warning light alerts, you should check the tire pressure of all four tires. If abnormal, after identifying the cause, you need to reset it. The tire pressure monitoring switch is located in front of the gear lever. With the key turned on or in idle state, press and hold for 3 seconds. The dashboard indicator light will flash once with a "ding" sound, indicating the initialization is complete. Octavia is a compact car launched by SAIC Volkswagen Skoda, with a length, width, and height of 4675mm, 1814mm, and 1460mm respectively, and a wheelbase of 2686mm. It is equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine, paired with a 5-speed manual or 6-speed automatic transmission.
Our family has been driving the Octavia for several years, and the tire pressure monitoring is mainly viewed through the dashboard warning light. When that yellow tire-shaped icon lights up, it indicates abnormal tire pressure, such as air leakage or imbalance. I usually pull over immediately and use a personal tire pressure gauge to check each wheel. If the system needs to be reset, go to the settings menu on the central multimedia screen, find the tire pressure option, and follow the prompts. It's recommended to manually check the tire pressure every one or two months to ensure it stays between 2.3-2.5 Bar. Too low pressure affects fuel consumption and handling, while too high pressure increases the risk of a blowout. Safety comes first—prevention is better than repair.
