Where is the tire pressure monitor located on the Volkswagen New Lavida?
1 Answers
The tire pressure monitor on the Volkswagen New Lavida is located at the bottom of the combination switch on the left side of the steering wheel. Tire pressure refers to the air pressure inside the tire. Common tire pressure monitoring methods: Direct tire pressure monitoring: The direct tire pressure monitoring device uses pressure sensors installed in each tire to directly measure the tire's air pressure. It uses a wireless transmitter to send the pressure information from inside the tire to a central receiver module, which then displays the tire pressure data for each tire. The system automatically alerts when the tire pressure is too low or there is a leak. Indirect tire pressure monitoring: When the air pressure in a tire decreases, the vehicle's weight causes the rolling radius of that wheel to become smaller, resulting in a faster rotation speed compared to other wheels. By comparing the differences in rotation speed between tires, the system monitors the tire pressure. The indirect tire pressure warning system essentially relies on calculating the rolling radius of the tires to monitor the air pressure. Introduction to the 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 limitation 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.
