Where is the tire pressure monitoring in the Camry?

To check the tire pressure monitoring in the Camry, look at the dashboard and operate it using the multifunction buttons on the steering wheel. The specific method is: there is a car icon graphic (below the music icon) on the left menu key, which displays the tire pressure. Press it to view. The Camry is a mid-size car launched by GAC Toyota, with dimensions of 4885mm in length, 1840mm in width, and 1455mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2825mm. It is equipped with 2.0L and 2.5L naturally aspirated engines, with maximum power outputs of 131kw and 154kw respectively, matched with a CVT continuously variable transmission (simulating 10 gears) and an 8-speed automatic manual transmission.
When I drove a Camry before, I studied its tire pressure monitoring system. The sensors are installed inside all four wheels, right next to the valve stems. To check the specific tire pressure data, you need to sit in the driver's seat and look for it on the LCD screen in the middle of the instrument cluster. There's an arrow button on the right side of the steering wheel - press it several times to switch to the tire pressure interface. Newer models like the 2023 version can even display color-coded tire pressure diagrams on the central touchscreen, which is particularly intuitive. I remember one winter when temperatures suddenly dropped, the system alerted me that the right front tire pressure was 2 psi low. When I drove to the repair shop, they found a nail puncture. It's best to manually check tire pressure monthly, as the sensors can sometimes have delays.
I've been driving a Camry for almost five years, and the tire pressure display is actually on the instrument panel. After starting the vehicle, look for a button with a square frame on the right side of the steering wheel controls. Press it cyclically to bring up the tire pressure interface. The older models feature a black background with white digital display, while the newer hybrid version even shows real-time pressure changes for each tire. The sensors are hidden inside the wheel hub, near the valve stem. Once before a long trip, I noticed abnormal tire pressure, and it turned out to be a slow leak. It's recommended to maintain tire pressure between 32-35 psi. In summer, when tire temperatures are high, the system might give false alarms. Wait until the tires cool down to get accurate readings.
When I first bought my Camry last year, the salesperson taught me how to locate the tire pressure monitoring. The sensors are fixed inside the tires and require professional tools for installation or removal. Checking the tire pressure is simple: after starting the car, press the toggle button on the right side of the steering wheel about three times, and the central display will show the tire pressure readings for all four tires. Newer models also display a dynamic tire pressure diagram in the vehicle status menu of the infotainment system. If the system alerts with a yellow warning light, you should first confirm whether there's an actual air leak. Once, my warning light came on, and upon inspection, I found it was triggered by a false alarm from the spare tire pressure sensor in the spare tire compartment.
