Where is the tire pressure monitoring on the Tiggo 8 Plus?

The tire pressure monitoring system of the Tiggo 8 is an active safety feature that can be displayed on the LCD screen. There are three commonly used methods for tire pressure monitoring: Direct Tire Pressure Monitoring: The direct tire pressure monitoring device uses pressure sensors installed in each tire to directly measure the tire pressure. It uses a wireless transmitter to send the pressure information from inside the tire to a central receiver module, which then displays the tire pressure data for each tire. When the tire pressure is too low or there is a leak, the system will automatically alert. Indirect Tire Pressure Monitoring: When the pressure in a tire decreases, the weight of the vehicle will cause 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 speed 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 the 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 4-wheel indirect system is also equipped. Compared to using a fully 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 data of the actual pressure in all four tires like the direct system.
I remember when driving the Tiggo 8 Plus, the tire pressure monitoring was displayed on the central screen of the dashboard. Once you start the car, you can switch the display by pressing the button on the right side of the steering wheel, for example, flipping to the information center page to check it. I've driven it for two years, and this feature is genuinely useful, allowing real-time monitoring of the pressure in all four tires. If the pressure in any tire is too low, the system will alert you. Improper tire pressure can increase fuel consumption, accelerate tire wear, and even lead to potential accidents on the road. So, I recommend new car owners develop the habit of checking it before each drive—don’t wait for an alarm to panic. If you can’t find it, don’t worry; just refer to the vehicle manual’s TPMS settings section or ask at the 4S store. The overall design of this car is very user-friendly, and safe driving starts with the details.
The tire pressure monitoring on the Tiggo 8 Plus is super easy to find. Just look at the small screen on the dashboard. After starting the car, use the up and down buttons on the steering wheel to switch displays until you see the icon labeled 'Tire Pressure.' I discovered this during a test drive with a friend, and it took less than 30 seconds to locate. Over time, you'll realize how much incorrect tire pressure can affect driving—for instance, overinflated tires can cause skidding at high speeds, while underinflation increases the risk of a blowout. Don’t forget to regularly check the accuracy of the dashboard readings with a manual tire pressure gauge, as the system isn’t foolproof. I think this car drives steadily with good attention to detail, but road safety relies on small habits—addressing issues early saves both hassle and money.
