Where is the tire pressure for Volkswagen Tiguan?
1 Answers
The tire pressure for Volkswagen Tiguan is displayed in the central information display on the dashboard. The tire pressure monitoring system uses pressure sensors installed in each tire to directly measure the tire pressure, and transmits the pressure information from inside the tire to the central receiver module via wireless transmitters, then displays the tire pressure data for each tire. There are three commonly used methods for tire pressure monitoring: Direct Tire Pressure Monitoring: The direct tire pressure monitoring system uses pressure sensors installed in each tire to directly measure the tire pressure, and transmits the pressure information from inside the tire to the central receiver module via wireless transmitters, then displays the tire pressure data for each tire. When the tire pressure is too low or there is a leak, the system will automatically issue an alarm. Indirect Tire Pressure Monitoring: When the pressure in a tire decreases, the weight of the vehicle causes the rolling radius of that wheel to become smaller, resulting in a faster rotation speed compared to the other wheels. By comparing the differences in rotation speeds between the tires, the system monitors the tire pressure. The indirect tire pressure warning system actually relies on calculating the rolling radius of the tires to monitor the 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 can reduce costs and overcome the defect of the indirect system, which cannot detect when multiple tires simultaneously have low pressure. However, it still cannot provide real-time data of the actual pressure in all four tires like the direct system.
