Where is the tire pressure monitoring in Volkswagen cars?

[JoyRose]

Volkswagen's tire pressure monitoring is located on the dashboard. The tire pressure monitoring system uses pressure sensors installed in each tire to directly measure the tire pressure. It then transmits the pressure information from inside the tire to a central receiver module via wireless transmitters, and displays the tire pressure data for each tire. There are three commonly used tire pressure monitoring methods: Direct tire pressure monitoring: The direct tire pressure monitoring system 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 wireless transmitters and displays the tire pressure data for each tire. The system automatically alerts 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 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 tire pressure. Indirect tire pressure alert systems essentially rely on calculating the rolling radius of tires to monitor pressure. Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) introduction: It combines the advantages of both 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 indirect systems, which cannot detect when multiple tires simultaneously have low pressure. However, it still cannot provide real-time data of the actual pressure in all four tires like a direct system does.
