Where is the tire pressure monitoring displayed?

Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) can be viewed on the central LCD screen of the instrument panel or the multimedia screen. The TPMS automatically monitors the tire pressure in real-time during vehicle operation and alerts the driver in case of tire leakage or low pressure to ensure driving safety. There are three commonly used tire pressure monitoring methods: Direct TPMS: The direct TPMS uses pressure sensors installed in each tire to directly measure the tire pressure. The pressure information is transmitted wirelessly from inside the tire to a central receiver module, which then displays the pressure data for each tire. The system automatically alerts the driver if the tire pressure is too low or if there is a leak. Indirect TPMS: When the pressure of a tire decreases, the vehicle's weight causes the rolling radius of that tire to become smaller, resulting in a faster rotation speed compared to other wheels. By comparing the differences in rotation speeds between tires, the system monitors the tire pressure. The indirect tire alert system essentially relies on calculating the rolling radius of the tires to monitor pressure. Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS): This system combines the advantages of both the direct and indirect systems. It is equipped with direct sensors in two diagonally opposite tires and includes a 4-wheel indirect system. Compared to a full direct system, this hybrid system can reduce costs and overcome the limitation of indirect systems, which cannot detect simultaneous low pressure in multiple tires. However, it still cannot provide real-time pressure data for all four tires as effectively as a direct system.
