Where is the tire pressure monitoring located in the Lavida?

The tire pressure monitoring in the Lavida is located on the dashboard. The following is an introduction to the Lavida's tire pressure monitoring: 1. The Lavida's tire pressure monitoring is not an active monitoring function. It only automatically displays information on the dashboard when there is an abnormality in the tire. 2. The display content does not show specific values, only indicating which tire has an issue. The tutorial for resetting the Lavida's tire pressure warning light is as follows: 1. First, inflate the tires to the normal pressure range. 2. Start the vehicle. 3. Press and hold the SET button for the tire pressure reset until the tire pressure warning light on the dashboard disappears. 4. If you frequently drive on highways or long-distance routes, regularly check the tire pressure and inspect the tire surface for any damage.
Having driven the Volkswagen Lavida for many years, I can tell you that the tire pressure monitoring system is actually located in the instrument cluster inside the car. It's an indirect system that relies on ABS sensors for monitoring. There are no physical sensors on the tires. You need to start the car and use the control buttons on the right side of the steering wheel to bring up the vehicle information menu, then find the tire pressure option in the settings to view or reset the system. This location is quite convenient in design, and when the warning light comes on, the instrument panel will display a prompt. Why is it set up this way? Because indirect monitoring determines tire pressure differences through wheel speed variations, saving costs and installation hassle, though it may occasionally give false alarms. Therefore, even though the monitoring is accessed through the in-car menu, it's advisable to develop a habit of regularly checking the actual tire pressure to avoid the risk of a blowout due to air leakage. For safety, it's best to visually inspect the tires at least once a week and not rely solely on the system. In newer Lavida models, there might also be an icon on the central control screen that allows direct access to the tire pressure monitoring function.
As an automotive technology enthusiast, I've studied the Lavida's tire pressure monitoring system, which is an indirect TPMS that relies on the vehicle's ABS module to monitor wheel speed. The sensors are located near the wheel rims in the chassis, but the display is in the instrument cluster in front of the driver's seat. After starting the engine, you can access the tire pressure settings by entering the menu via the steering wheel buttons and selecting the vehicle status. The placement is quite intelligent because the sensors are integrated into the braking system, allowing precise detection of pressure changes. Although the display is virtual in the instrument cluster, it reflects Volkswagen's efficient design. Having disassembled similar models, I know the sensor modules are mounted close to the wheel rims, but daily operations can be completed inside the car without additional tools. If an alarm occurs, don't panic—the system's display is just a starting point; actually checking the tires for leaks is more important to ensure safety.
