How to check the tire pressure on the Golf 7 door?

The Golf 7 does not have an active tire pressure monitoring function. It will only automatically display information on the dashboard when there is an abnormality in the tires. The displayed content does not include specific values but only indicates which tire has a problem. The Volkswagen Golf 7 tire monitoring indicator uses ABS sensors to compare the rolling circumference and rotation speed of each wheel. If the tire pressure of one or more wheels changes, the tire pressure loss indicator in the combination instrument and infotainment system display will issue an alert. Here is some information about the Golf 7: 1. The Golf 7 refers to the seventh generation of the Golf, equipped with the EA211 series 1.6L and 1.4T engines. 2. In terms of body dimensions, the Golf 7 has a length, width, and height of 4255mm, 1799mm, and 1452mm, respectively.
When I drove the Golf 7, I researched this—the tire pressure information for the doors is located on the B-pillar of the driver's seat. Open the driver's door, and you'll see a rectangular label at the bottom of the door frame, which indicates the cold tire pressure values corresponding to different tire sizes. This is crucial because tire pressure should be adjusted based on your actual load: inflate to the unloaded value when empty, and to the fully loaded value when carrying a full load. I check my tire pressure every two months, and it's most accurate in the morning before driving. Remember, the unit for tire pressure is bar, so don't confuse it with psi. The free air pumps at gas stations work fine—after adjusting, press the SET button on the center console to reset the monitoring system. This little trick helps the system relearn the standard values.
As an experienced driver, I often remind beginners to pay attention to two details when checking the tire pressure label: First, look for the small sticker with a tire diagram on the driver's door frame, which clearly distinguishes the recommended pressure for front and rear tires. Second, adjust the values marked for full load and empty load below the label based on actual usage. For example, if you usually drive alone, 2.3 bar (empty load) is sufficient, but if you're traveling with the whole family and lots of luggage, it's best to inflate to the full load value of 2.8 bar. During seasons with significant temperature changes, check more frequently. Last winter, I forgot to adjust the tire pressure, and the tires wore out much faster.
