Where is the tire pressure display on the Oshan X5?

The high-end version of the Oshan X5 allows you to check the tire pressure display on the car's dashboard; the low-end version is not equipped with a tire pressure monitoring device. Tire pressure monitoring involves real-time automatic monitoring of tire pressure during driving and alerts for tire leaks or low pressure to ensure driving safety. There are three common types of tire pressure monitoring methods: Direct tire pressure monitoring: Direct tire pressure monitoring devices use pressure sensors installed in each tire to directly measure tire pressure. The pressure information is transmitted wirelessly from inside the tire to a central receiver module, which then displays the tire pressure data for each tire. The system automatically alerts when tire pressure is too low or there is a leak. Indirect tire pressure monitoring: When the pressure in a tire decreases, the vehicle's weight causes the rolling radius of that wheel to become smaller, making it rotate faster than the other wheels. By comparing the rotational speed differences between tires, the system monitors tire pressure. Indirect tire pressure alert systems essentially rely on calculating the rolling radius of tires to monitor pressure. Introduction to Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS): It combines the advantages of both systems mentioned above. Direct sensors are installed in two diagonally opposite tires, and a 4-wheel indirect system is also equipped. Compared to using only a direct system, this hybrid system reduces costs and overcomes the indirect system's inability to detect low pressure in multiple tires simultaneously. However, it still cannot provide real-time data on the actual pressure in all four tires like a direct system.
I've been driving the Oshan X5 for almost a year now, and the tire pressure display is located on the trip computer screen on the right side of the instrument panel. After each startup, I press the arrow-shaped toggle button on the right side of the steering wheel about three or four times to see the tire pressure data for all four tires. Just the other morning, I noticed the left front tire pressure was 0.3 lower than usual, so I immediately went to check and found a small nail in it. Before hitting the highway, I always make it a habit to check the tire pressure since improper pressure can be particularly dangerous. Now that the weather is getting hotter, extra attention is needed as rising tire temperature can increase the pressure by about 0.2 compared to when the car is cold. Once, when my tire was slowly leaking due to a puncture, it was the tire pressure display that alerted me first.
