How to Display the Tire Pressure?

Find the tire pressure monitoring system settings in the trip computer using the multifunction buttons on the steering wheel. There is a menu button among the multifunction buttons. Adjust the menu on the dashboard display and select the tire pressure display option to bring it up.

I'm speaking from my experience of driving a Japanese car. To check the tire pressure display, you usually start by looking for the control buttons on the steering wheel. There are small arrow buttons on the left or right side; pressing them a few times cycles through minor information like fuel consumption and mileage on the dashboard. Press a few more times until the tire icon appears, which is the tire pressure interface. Some cars require you to stop and shift into P mode first to access it. For my car, I have to press the small stick button under the steering wheel for five seconds to activate it. If there's no response after pressing for a while, the system might need a reboot—turn off the engine and wait ten minutes before trying again. Remember, tire pressure readings are accurate only when the car is cold; data taken right after driving will be a few psi higher, and the values fluctuate between summer and winter. After adjusting, remember to press the confirm button in the center of the steering wheel to lock the settings.

My friend recently helped his wife adjust the tire pressure display, and I specifically asked about the operational differences among various car models. For American cars like Ford, you usually use the five-way steering wheel buttons to access the vehicle menu and find the tire options. Volkswagen models typically switch through the central trip computer interface on the dashboard. Domestic new energy vehicles are even simpler, with a tire pressure card directly available by swiping down the notification bar on the central control screen. The key is to distinguish whether your car has direct or indirect monitoring—only those displaying specific numerical values require adjustment. Car wash attendants often mess up the settings by randomly pressing buttons, so learning to operate it yourself is much more convenient. In winter, if the tire pressure drops below 2.5 Bar, you’ll noticeably feel the steering wheel become heavier.

The tire pressure display function is quite practical. After starting the car, don't rush to drive. Check the dashboard for a small tire indicator light, then press and hold the INFO or TRIP button on the steering wheel for three seconds. If numbers appear on the screen, you've succeeded. For older models, you might need to find and hold the reset button in the glove compartment until the warning light flashes three times to activate it. If the alarm suddenly goes off while driving, don't panic. Remember the standard range is 2.3 to 2.8 kgf. Find a safe place to stop and check the display. If the reading is below 1.8, inflate the tires immediately. For new cars, always refer to the manual first. The tire pressure interface also allows you to set pressure unit conversions.
