Is the tire pressure monitoring gauge accurate?
2 Answers
The tire pressure monitoring gauge is accurate, and its usage method is as follows: 1. Press and hold the setting button on the display for about 3 seconds until a beep is heard, and the left front wheel indicator light flashes; 2. Bring the display close to the tire pressure sensor, and the display will automatically receive the sensor's ID. After the ID is displayed, click the OK button; 3. Press SET to move to other tires, bring it close to other tire pressure sensors one by one, and debug them sequentially. Tire pressure monitoring automatically monitors tire pressure in real-time while the car is moving, and its functions are: 1. To alert the driver in time when there are dangerous signs in the tire, prompting them to take corresponding measures to avoid serious accidents; 2. To keep the tire working within the specified pressure and temperature range, reducing tire damage and extending its service life.
As a seasoned driver with over a decade of experience, I find tire pressure monitoring systems generally reliable, but don't expect them to be flawless. I use a direct TPMS with in-wheel sensors, which provides accurate readings most of the time – like alerting me when pressure drops below recommended levels, helping prevent blowouts. However, temperature fluctuations significantly affect performance: readings tend to be higher in summer heat and lower in winter cold. Sensor batteries may also cause inaccuracies as they age. That's why I keep a manual pressure gauge for monthly cross-checks, ensuring deviations stay within ±0.2 bar. Remember, tires are your car's first line of defense – while monitoring systems help, developing a routine of manual verification is crucial. Don't just rely on dashboard displays.
