Where is the tire pressure monitoring in Golf 7?
2 Answers
There is a button near the gear lever that looks like the tire pressure warning button, and this button is the tire pressure monitoring button for the Golf 7. The Golf does not display the tire pressure values. It only alerts when the tire pressure of one or more tires falls below the set standard while driving. Here is some additional information: 1. The Volkswagen Golf 7 tire monitoring indicator uses ABS sensors to compare the rolling circumference and rotation speed of each wheel. If the tire pressure of one or more wheels changes, the tire pressure loss indicator in the combination instrument and the infotainment system display will issue an alert. 2. Tire pressure monitoring can be divided into two types based on installation location: external and internal. The biggest advantage of the external type is its low cost and easy installation. The disadvantages are that it is exposed and prone to theft or damage, and it is not aesthetically pleasing. The internal type is aesthetically pleasing and less prone to damage; however, the installation conditions and costs are higher, and care must be taken during tire repairs to avoid damaging the installed sensors.
I've driven a Volkswagen Golf 7, and finding the tire pressure monitoring was quite convenient. After starting the car, look at the scroll button on the left side of the steering wheel on the dashboard, push it to the right to enter the vehicle menu, and select the 'Tire Pressure' option to see the current pressure values. To reset, park the car and hold the system settings button for a few seconds to complete the process. This system indirectly monitors through wheel speed sensors, which saves money but has slightly lower accuracy. I've developed a habit of checking tire pressure monthly to avoid false alarms affecting driving. For older cars, the sensor wiring can easily become loose, so regular maintenance checks are beneficial.
