How to use the tire pressure monitoring system in the Tharu?
2 Answers
The Tharu utilizes a passive tire pressure monitoring system. It only alerts the driver when there is an abnormality in tire pressure, displaying a warning on the instrument panel without specific pressure values, merely indicating which tire is affected. The tire pressure monitoring system is designed to automatically monitor various tire conditions in real-time, providing effective safety assurance during driving. The Tharu measures 4453mm in length, 1841mm in width, and 1632mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2680mm. In terms of power, the Tharu is equipped with two turbocharged engines: a 1.4T and a 2.0T, delivering maximum power outputs of 110kW and 137kW, and peak torques of 175Nm and 250Nm, respectively.
As a longtime owner of the Tharu, I can tell you this vehicle uses an indirect tire pressure monitoring system that operates via wheel speed sensors. After starting the engine, navigate to the 'Vehicle' section on the central control screen, select 'Settings', and you'll find the 'Tire Pressure' option. Initialization is straightforward - just confirm with 'SET', but make sure to do this when the tires are cold and at correct pressure. The system doesn't display real-time values normally, but triggers a yellow warning light on the dashboard and an alert on the central screen when abnormalities occur. I always reset it after tire changes and before long trips - it once saved me by alerting during highway driving when I had a nail puncture. While it responds quickly to actual leaks (tested when I had a slow puncture), you'll need a manual tire pressure gauge for verification.
