Where is the tire pressure monitoring displayed on the 2021 Fit?

2021 Fit's tire pressure monitoring is displayed on the vehicle's dashboard. There are three common types of 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. When the tire pressure is too low or there is a leak, the system will automatically issue an alert. 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, resulting in a faster rotation speed compared to other wheels. By comparing the differences in rotation speed between the tires, the system monitors the tire pressure. The indirect tire pressure alert system essentially relies on calculating the tire's rolling radius to monitor the pressure. Introduction to the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS): It combines the advantages of the two 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 on the actual pressure in all four tires like a direct system.
As a beginner in the automotive world, I remember spending time researching where to find the tire pressure display when I bought my 2021 Fit. The yellow warning light on the left side of the dashboard is the key indicator—it lights up when any tire pressure is too low. If you want to check the specific values, there’s an information button on the steering wheel; pressing it a few times will switch to the tire pressure view, displayed on the small screen in the center of the dashboard. For manual checks, first park the car securely, then select the vehicle information option in the settings menu. The tire pressure system is quite smart, but it relies on built-in sensor signals—false alarms may occur if signals are lost. Regular calibration is crucial; performing one after tire changes or long periods of parking can reduce false alerts. Personally, I make it a habit to quickly glance at the dashboard every week to ensure safe driving.
Years of driving experience have taught me that tire pressure directly affects handling and safety. The 2021 Fit's tire pressure monitoring is displayed on the multifunction screen in the center of the instrument panel. When the warning light comes on, it's an alert signal to pull over and check immediately. To view details, press the control buttons on the steering wheel to switch screens, where you can see the pressure values for each tire. The system defaults to automatically updating data when the vehicle speed exceeds 40 km/h. If abnormal readings are detected, it may indicate a depleted sensor battery or a tire leak. It's recommended to check the tire pressure screen every time you refuel to avoid accidents on the road. The maintenance manual mentions checking tire pressure settings at least once a month to prevent false alarms caused by sensor misalignment.
