How to Check Tire Pressure on the New Sylphy?

Press the OK button on the multifunction steering wheel. The tire pressure information will then be displayed on the central dashboard. When the tire pressure is low, a warning will appear on the central LCD display. Click the start button on the subsequent interface to re-monitor the tire pressure.
My new Sylphy is equipped with a Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS), which displays on the small screen of the instrument panel after starting the car. By pressing the up and down buttons on the left side of the steering wheel, I can switch to the tire pressure menu, where the pressure of each tire is clearly visible. Under normal circumstances, the pressure is around 220 to 240 kilopascals, with the specific values written on the label on the driver's side door frame. I usually check it once a week to ensure the pressure is within the appropriate range, otherwise, the tires wear out faster, fuel consumption increases, and braking distance is affected—it's quite practical. When I first got the car, I explored the menu settings a bit; it's turned on by default, which is very convenient. If the tire pressure is incorrect, it will sound an alarm. Once, it showed a leak, and when I took it to the repair shop, it turned out a small stone had punctured the tire. After the repair, the car felt much more stable to drive. Maintaining a car requires diligence.
The key to tire pressure checks lies in knowing the method: The new Sylphy usually comes with wireless TPMS sensors, where devices inside the tires send signals to the car's computer every few seconds, and the data is updated in real-time on the dashboard. If nothing is displayed, press the multifunction button on the steering wheel to enter the information screen, select "Vehicle Status," and you'll see the tire pressure readings. I personally prefer this method—it's simple and hassle-free; I also keep a digital tire pressure gauge as a backup. Screw it onto the valve stem for an accurate reading, especially before long trips when a manual check is wise. The recommended tire pressure values are marked on the door frame label—never guess the values to avoid blowout risks. Regular checks can extend tire life by over a year. I recommend checking monthly, as pressure tends to rise in summer due to high temperatures and drop in autumn/winter, requiring inflation. Safety first.
