How to check the tire pressure monitoring on Honda CR-V?
2 Answers
Honda CR-V's tire pressure monitoring system cannot directly display specific tire pressure values. The indirect tire pressure warning system actually relies on calculating the tire rolling radius to monitor the tire pressure. The working principle of the indirect tire pressure monitoring system is: when the pressure of a tire decreases, the weight of the vehicle will cause the rolling radius of that wheel to become smaller, resulting in its rotation speed being faster than other wheels. By comparing the difference in rotation speed between the tires, the purpose of monitoring tire pressure is achieved. Taking the 2019 Honda CR-V as an example, it is a compact SUV with body dimensions of: length 4585mm, width 1855mm, height 1679mm, and a wheelbase of 2660mm.
Speaking of the tire pressure monitoring system in the Honda CR-V, I drive this model myself, and the checking method is quite intuitive. First, start the vehicle, then pay attention to the buttons on the left side of the steering wheel. There's a control key with an arrow specifically for switching menus on the instrument panel. Press it a few times to find the tire information or a similarly named interface. Once you enter it, the actual tire pressure value for each wheel will be displayed. When the numbers appear, compare them with the standard range in the owner's manual—generally, anything between 30-35 psi is normal. If the tire pressure warning light comes on, it's best to stop and check or add some air. Make it a habit to glance at the tires to see if they look flat before driving, and occasionally manually recalibrate the system for added safety. Remember, don't fiddle with these settings while driving; find a safe place to do it.
