Where to Check the Tire Pressure Monitoring in KAMIQ?
2 Answers
KAMIQ uses an indirect tire pressure monitoring system, which only provides alerts without displaying data. When the tire pressure is too high, the contact area between the tire and the ground decreases, increasing the pressure on the tire and affecting its grip. Below are related details: 1. Direct Tire Pressure Monitoring: This system uses pressure sensors installed in each tire to directly measure the tire pressure. The pressure information is transmitted wirelessly from inside the tire to a central receiver module, which then displays the data for each tire. The system automatically alerts when the tire pressure is too low or there is a leak. 2. Indirect Tire Pressure Monitoring: The working principle of indirect tire pressure monitoring is that when the pressure in a tire decreases, the vehicle's weight causes the rolling radius of that wheel to become smaller, making it rotate faster than the other wheels. By comparing the differences in rotational speed between tires, the system monitors tire pressure. The indirect tire pressure alert system essentially relies on calculating the rolling radius of the tires to monitor pressure.
Hey, I've been driving the KAMIQ and remember the tire pressure monitoring is right on the dashboard screen. Just press the navigation button on the right side of the steering wheel to bring up the info display, and you can see real-time tire pressure data. I make it a habit to check every time before driving, keeping it around 2.3 bar is ideal. Too low and the tires wear out faster plus it wastes fuel, too high risks a blowout. If the system alarms, it could be a faulty sensor or a leak. Regular checks prevent surprises—safety first, can't cut corners. Once I ignored low pressure and the car felt shaky, never slacked off since. Forming this habit is easy, just a few seconds after starting up.
