How to Check the Tire Pressure Monitoring System on the 10th Generation Civic?
2 Answers
The method to check the tire pressure monitoring system on the 10th generation Civic is: view it on the dashboard. The functions of the tire pressure monitoring system are: 1. Prevent accidents; 2. Extend tire lifespan; 3. Make driving more economical; 4. Reduce wear on the suspension system. Taking the 2021 Civic as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4517mm, width 1799mm, height 1434mm, with a wheelbase of 2700mm. The 2021 Civic is equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum power of 130kW and a maximum torque of 220Nm, paired with a CVT continuously variable transmission.
Since getting my 10th-gen Civic, I've been paying close attention to tire pressure monitoring, which is actually quite simple to check. After starting the vehicle, press the left or right button on the steering wheel to switch to the vehicle information menu, where you'll find the 'Tire Pressure' option. Click into it to see the specific pressure values for all four tires. I make it a habit to glance at the screen before each trip to ensure proper inflation, typically maintaining around 32 PSI. If the system detects an issue, the tire pressure warning light on the dashboard will flash as a reminder - don't ignore it. Pull over immediately to check for punctures or foreign objects. Last week, my warning light came on due to a sudden temperature drop causing pressure loss. Topping up the air solved the issue. Driving with incorrect tire pressure for extended periods increases fuel consumption and affects driving stability, so I recommend using a manual pressure gauge for monthly checks as an extra precaution.
