How to Check Tire Pressure Data with a Car Tire Pressure Monitoring System?

Methods to check tire pressure data with a car tire pressure monitoring system: 1. For models equipped with an indirect tire pressure monitoring system, there will be no display of tire pressure values, only an alarm prompt. To check the tire pressure data, you can use an external tire pressure gauge. Remove the tire valve cap, press the tire pressure gauge nozzle firmly against the valve, and the tire pressure data will appear; 2. Vehicles with a direct tire pressure monitoring system can directly view the tire pressure data on the in-car display screen. Using a tire pressure monitor is very simple. Measurements should be taken when the tires are cold, as tires that have just been driven will show higher pressure due to the expansion of heated air.
I remember when I first bought the car, I didn't know much about the tire pressure monitoring system and just briefly figured out how it works. Turns out, it's super simple: after starting the car, press the menu button on the steering wheel or the button near the dashboard to switch to the tire pressure display page. The screen will directly show the pressure numbers for each tire, measured in PSI or Bar, with low numbers highlighted in red as a warning. My car has a direct TPMS system, where data is transmitted in real-time from the sensors, making it easy to check anytime. It's important to make it a habit to glance at the tire pressure before driving—proper tire pressure saves fuel and ensures safety, while too low or too high affects grip. If there's ever an alarm, stop immediately and confirm with a manual tire pressure gauge. The features in new cars are really thoughtful, reducing the risk of blowouts, and once you get the hang of it, it only takes a few minutes.
