How to Check the Tire Pressure Monitoring on Hyundai ix25?
2 Answers
Modern ix25 tire pressure monitoring is generally displayed on the dashboard screen, but the tire pressure cannot be displayed when the vehicle is stationary. Tire pressure monitoring is an automatic real-time monitoring of tire pressure during driving, which alerts the driver to tire leaks and low pressure to ensure driving safety. There are three commonly used methods of tire pressure monitoring: Direct Tire Pressure Monitoring: Direct tire pressure monitoring devices use 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 then the tire pressure data for each tire is displayed. The system automatically alerts when the tire pressure is too low or there is a leak. Indirect Tire Pressure Monitoring: When the pressure of 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 purpose of monitoring tire pressure is achieved. Indirect tire pressure alert systems essentially rely on calculating the rolling radius of tires to monitor pressure. Introduction to Tire Intelligent Monitoring System (TPMS): It combines the advantages of the two systems mentioned above, equipping direct sensors in two diagonally opposite tires and a 4-wheel indirect system. Compared to using only a direct system, this hybrid system can reduce costs and overcome the defect of indirect systems not being able to detect multiple tires with low pressure simultaneously. However, it still cannot provide real-time data of the actual pressure in all four tires like a direct system.
As an owner of the Hyundai ix25, checking tire pressure is very simple for me. After starting the car, there's a small screen on the dashboard. By pressing the up and down buttons on the right side of the steering wheel, I can switch to the vehicle information display and see the tire pressure values for all four tires. This feature has been a great help. Once, a low-pressure warning alerted me, and I promptly inflated the tires, avoiding a potential blowout. Tire pressure is crucial—it's generally recommended to maintain 220-240 kPa when the car is cold. Too high pressure reduces comfort and wears out tires faster, while too low pressure increases fuel consumption and accident risks. I suggest taking a quick glance at the tire pressure before driving each week or having the shop check and calibrate the system during maintenance to ensure both safety and fuel efficiency, especially during seasons with significant temperature changes.
