Is it necessary to install a tire pressure display if there is a tire pressure warning?

For safe driving, if conditions permit, it is still advisable to install a tire pressure monitoring system for added safety. Tire pressure warning light on: The tire pressure monitoring indicator is a yellow symbol, an irregular circle with no seal on top and four small spikes at the bottom, containing an exclamation mark inside. The illumination of the tire pressure monitoring indicator indicates abnormal tire pressure. Abnormal tire pressure generally has the following causes: Abnormal tire pressure: Usually, an alarm will sound if the pressure is below 1.8 bar or above 3.0 bar. At this time, tire inspection and pressure adjustment are required. Tire pressure monitoring not reset: After inflating the tires, if the tire pressure is not reset in time, the tire pressure monitoring system will still record the previous data, causing the tire pressure monitoring indicator to light up. In this case, simply reset the tire pressure. Damaged tire pressure sensor: The tire pressure sensor is used to monitor tire pressure and is directly installed inside the tire, connected to the tire inflation valve. If the tire pressure sensor is damaged during driving, such as by hitting a curb, it will also cause the tire pressure fault light to illuminate. For sensor damage issues, only replacement with a new part is possible.
I think installing a tire pressure display is indeed necessary, especially from a safety perspective. The tire pressure warning is just an alert light, only indicating there's a pressure issue without specifying which tire or how low the pressure is. With a display system, you can see real-time pressure values for each tire in the car, such as the normal value being around 2.5 bar, allowing timely action if it drops. This helps prevent risks like tire blowouts or unstable steering. Warning systems might give false alarms, while a display provides more intuitive decision-making data. Just a glance at the screen while driving saves you from checking manually, offering both convenience and peace of mind. In the long run, it reduces tire wear and fuel consumption—investing this small amount for safety is totally worth it.
