Where is the CHR tire pressure monitoring located?

Toyota CHR's tire pressure monitoring is displayed on the dashboard. Below are some hazards of overinflated or underinflated tires: 1. Overinflated tires cause the tire surface to become arched, reducing the contact area with the ground. Since a car's power output relies on the static friction generated between the tires and the ground, insufficient contact area leads to sliding friction, resulting in loss of power and torque output, especially noticeable during rapid acceleration. Therefore, the tire-to-ground contact area must be just right. With too small a contact area, the biggest risks besides tire blowouts are extended braking distances, which can have unimaginable consequences in emergencies. 2. Underinflated tires cause uneven wear, with less wear in the middle and more on the sides. This also increases rolling resistance, raising the vehicle's fuel consumption. Underinflation also makes tires prone to blowouts because softer tires undergo repeated deformation during high-speed driving, generating excessive heat that can lead to blowouts. Thus, tires should be inflated according to the manufacturer's standards.
I've been driving a Corolla for several years, and the tire pressure monitoring system displays on the dashboard's information screen. You can switch to the tire pressure page by pressing the multifunction buttons on the steering wheel. After starting the car, I usually check the values out of habit to ensure all four tires have normal pressure. This feature is quite convenient—maintaining standard tire pressure saves fuel and extends tire life. I remember once when the pressure was slightly low, and I almost had issues during a long drive. Now, I've made it a habit to check regularly. Some newer models even allow you to set alarm values on the infotainment screen; if an abnormality is detected, it flashes a warning light. I recommend checking your tires periodically, especially during seasonal changes, as temperature fluctuations affect tire pressure. In short, tire pressure monitoring is a crucial part of driving safety—don’t wait for an incident to remember its importance.
