Where is the tire pressure displayed on the Tharu?
2 Answers
The tire pressure of the Tharu is displayed on the instrument panel. This vehicle is equipped with a passive tire pressure monitoring function, which means the instrument panel will only automatically display a warning when there is an abnormality in the tire. The display does not show specific numerical values but only indicates which tire has an issue. The tire pressure monitoring system is a type of active safety device that can alert the driver in time when there are signs of danger in the tires, prompting them to take appropriate measures to avoid serious accidents. The Tharu is a compact SUV under SAIC Volkswagen, with dimensions of 4453mm in length, 1841mm in width, and 1632mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2680mm. In terms of suspension, the front suspension of this vehicle is a MacPherson independent suspension, and the rear suspension is a multi-link independent suspension.
I've been driving the Volkswagen Tharu for several years, and the tire pressure display is mainly shown on the multifunction information screen of the instrument panel. There's usually a square arrow button on the left side of the steering wheel—just press it lightly to switch to the vehicle information menu, where the real-time pressure values of each tire or a comprehensive warning icon are displayed. If the tire pressure is too low or too high, the system will automatically illuminate an orange warning light, which is quite noticeable. The normal tire pressure generally ranges between 2.2 and 2.5 bar, and the specific recommended values can be found on the nameplate near the door. I usually check it once before long trips, as it directly affects handling and safety—too low pressure increases fuel consumption and damages tires, while too high pressure causes a bumpy ride and increases the risk of a blowout. If the display doesn't show up on the instrument panel, try keeping the vehicle stationary for a few minutes after starting to let the system initialize, or visit a 4S shop to reset the TPMS module. This feature is simple yet practical and can help avoid unexpected breakdowns at critical moments.
