The SET button next to the gear lever of the Golf is the tire pressure monitoring button. Here is some additional information: 1. External: The biggest advantage is the low cost and easy installation. The disadvantages are that it is exposed and prone to theft or damage, and it is not aesthetically pleasing. Not all Golf models come with tire pressure monitoring. Check if there is a SET button next to the gear lever. If there is, it means the car has tire pressure monitoring, which is displayed in yellow on the dashboard. If the light is on when the vehicle starts, it indicates a problem with the tire pressure. If it is not on, the tire pressure is normal. 2. Internal: The advantages are aesthetics and durability since it is internal and less prone to damage. The disadvantages are the higher installation conditions and costs, and the need to be careful with the sensors during tire repairs to avoid damage.

I often use the tire pressure monitoring system on my Golf, which can be viewed on the multifunction display in the dashboard. While driving, there are several small buttons on the steering wheel—pressing the one in the middle brings up the menu. Then, navigate to the vehicle status section, and with a few swipes, you can see the actual pressure values for each tire. If the tire pressure warning light suddenly comes on—usually yellow—it indicates that a tire might be leaking or the pressure is uneven. In such cases, it's best to find a safe place to stop and check or inflate the tires. The Golf's system is quite smart; it automatically detects abnormalities, helping you avoid the risk of a blowout on the road. I also make it a habit to glance at the tire pressure values before driving to ensure they're between 2.3 and 2.5 bar. This not only saves a bit of fuel but also reduces tire wear and keeps the car running smoothly. Of course, if the display appears a bit blurry, remember to wipe the screen or wait for it to complete its self-check upon startup to avoid false alarms.

I've been driving a Golf for several years, and the main display for the tire pressure monitoring is on the dashboard. The operation is quite simple: after starting the car, use your finger to press the scroll button on the right side of the steering wheel to open the menu, where you can find the tire pressure readings or warning indicators under the vehicle information section. For newer Golf models, the central control screen can display more detailed values—just tap on the settings in the central control and then navigate to the driving assistance section. Tire pressure monitoring is really crucial, especially during long trips, as it alerts you in advance to potential tire issues, preventing accidents on the highway. Once, my tire pressure dropped to 2.0 and the warning light came on, so I stopped in time to address it, avoiding tire deformation. I recommend manually checking the tire pressure and topping it up monthly for added peace of mind alongside the system. The Golf's system is quite reliable, but if the screen doesn't respond, try restarting the car or checking the manual, which includes illustrated guides.

On my Golf, the tire pressure monitoring is displayed in the small window in the middle of the dashboard. While driving, just press the menu button on the steering wheel and scroll to the tire pressure option. If the values are normal, it shows in green; if there's an issue, a yellow light comes on. This feature in the Golf is thoughtfully designed, allowing you to check it yourself without needing professional tools. I usually take a few minutes after parking to glance at it, ensuring the pressure is around 2.5, which helps prevent tire blowouts. I make it a habit to check regularly—it's practical for both car maintenance and driving safety.
