How to Check Tire Pressure Monitoring in the New Sagitar?

The new Sagitar does not have a separate air pressure display. The tire pressure monitoring system operates automatically. When the air pressure exceeds the standard value, the dashboard will display a yellow light to warn of abnormal air pressure. Relevant introductions are as follows: 1. The tire pressure monitoring device is a simpler tire pressure monitoring system that uses the existing sensing function of ABS to compare the number of rotations of the tires. The circumference of a tire with insufficient pressure will become shorter, so if one of the four tires has insufficient pressure, the number of rotations during driving will be different from that of the other tires. 2. The new Sagitar is equipped with a tire pressure monitoring system to achieve accurate and timely tire pressure monitoring and alarm. On the road, you can monitor the tire pressure at any time, ensuring more comprehensive driving safety. After replacing tires or inflating tires, you can press the SET key to reset the tire pressure.
I remember when I drove the new Sagitar, the first thing I did after starting the engine was to glance at the dashboard—checking if that tire-shaped warning light was on. If the light was off, it meant the tire pressure was normal and everything was good to go. If it blinked or stayed lit, it indicated an issue with one of the tires. I usually used the buttons on the right side of the steering wheel: press the menu button lightly, select the vehicle settings menu, then find the tire pressure monitoring option to check the status or reset the system. The new Sagitar's system relies on ABS sensors to monitor wheel speed changes, and its accuracy is decent. However, I recommend not relying too much on it—it’s better to develop a habit of manual checks, like using a tire pressure gauge every month to ensure it stays between 2.3 and 2.5 bar. Unstable tire pressure increases fuel consumption and accelerates tire wear, and checking before long trips can prevent unexpected issues—it’s always the safest approach.
The tire pressure monitoring setup in the new Sagitar is quite intuitive. From my experience, after starting the vehicle, just watch the dashboard for a few seconds - if the tire warning light goes off, everything's normal; if it stays on, you'll need to troubleshoot. Operation-wise, use the multifunction buttons on the steering wheel: press once to enter the menu system, then select tire pressure monitoring under vehicle information to view warning details or perform a reset. The new model primarily uses an indirect system that detects wheel speed variations. For routine maintenance, I manually verify tire pressure periodically since underinflation can increase fuel consumption by about 5%, while overinflation compromises handling safety. With significant winter temperature fluctuations causing noticeable pressure variations, I always check before highway driving to ensure values stay within recommended ranges - this saves money while ensuring peace of mind behind the wheel.
Checking tire pressure in the new Sagitar is simple: start the engine, and if the tire icon on the dashboard doesn't light up, you're good; if it does, it needs attention. I usually access the tire pressure option through the steering wheel buttons in the settings menu. Thinking back to older cars without this feature, which required manual measurement, it's much more convenient now. Proper tire pressure is crucial for safety, preventing skidding during high-speed driving and extending tire life by at least 10,000 kilometers. I always remind friends and family not to overlook this system, but it's just an aid—it's best to check with a tire pressure gauge monthly.
