Where is the tire pressure monitoring displayed on the Hyundai ix35?

The tire pressure monitoring system of the Hyundai ix35 can be displayed on the dashboard. Tire pressure monitoring is a system that automatically monitors the tire pressure in real-time during driving and alerts the driver in case of tire leaks or low pressure to ensure driving safety. There are three commonly used 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 pressure. It transmits the pressure information from inside the tire to a central receiver module via a wireless transmitter, and then displays the pressure data for each tire. The system automatically alerts the driver when the tire pressure is too low or there is a leak. 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 the other wheels. By comparing the differences in rotation speeds between the tires, the system monitors the tire pressure. The indirect tire pressure alert system essentially relies on calculating the rolling radius of the tires to monitor 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 four-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 pressure data for all four tires as effectively as a direct system.
As an owner of the Hyundai ix35, I know the tire pressure monitoring display is quite intuitive. That little icon lights up in the center of the dashboard, looking like a tire with an exclamation mark, indicating a tire pressure issue. Want to see the specific values? After starting the car, use the buttons on the right side of the steering wheel to switch the multifunction display screen on the dashboard, where the tire pressure data will pop up, usually around 230 kPa. The system doesn't update in real-time; it refreshes after driving for a while. I always take a quick glance before heading out to ensure the tire pressure is within the normal range, which saves fuel and prevents blowouts. Regularly check the tire pressure gauge instead of relying solely on the system, as this reduces tire wear and ensures a smoother ride.
