Where to Check the Tire Pressure Monitoring on the Lynk & Co 01?
3 Answers
The tire pressure monitoring on the Lynk & Co 01 can be displayed on the instrument panel. However, the Lynk & Co 01 is equipped with a passive tire pressure monitoring system, which only alerts when the tire pressure is too high or too low and does not display real-time tire pressure data. The calibration for the tire pressure monitoring is done through the central multimedia screen. More relevant information is as follows: 1. Tire pressure monitoring generally uses wheel speed sensors. When the rotation speeds of the four wheels reach a certain difference, the system will assume that the tire pressure of a certain tire is abnormal, and the tire pressure monitoring warning light on the dashboard will illuminate to alert the driver. 2. The passive tire pressure monitoring system relies on the wheel speed sensors of the car's ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) to compare the rotation speed differences between the tires, thereby achieving the purpose of monitoring tire pressure. ABS uses wheel speed sensors to determine whether the wheels are locked and decides whether to activate the anti-lock braking system. When the tire pressure decreases, the vehicle's weight will cause the tire diameter to shrink, resulting in a change in speed. This speed change triggers the WSB alarm system, alerting the owner to insufficient tire pressure. 3. The standard tire pressure for the Lynk & Co 01 varies by rim size. For 17-inch rims, the standard tire pressure ranges between 2.2bar and 2.7bar, while for 18-inch and 19-inch rims, the standard tire pressure ranges between 2.3bar and 2.8bar.
I've been driving the Lynk & Co 01 for almost two years, and the tire pressure monitoring can be directly viewed on the dashboard. After each vehicle start, no special operation is needed as the system continuously monitors the tire pressure status. If there's an issue with any tire, a yellow warning icon will immediately flash on the dashboard. To check the specific values, simply press the directional keys on the right side of the steering wheel, switch left or right to the vehicle information interface, and then scroll up or down to find the tire pressure data. The pressure value for each tire is displayed individually, making it very intuitive. I remember once during winter when the temperature dropped, I was just leaving the neighborhood when it alerted me that the right rear tire pressure was low. Upon checking, it had indeed dropped to 2.0 bar, but after refilling the air, it was fine. I recommend drivers develop the habit of glancing at the dashboard when starting the car, as this feature is particularly helpful for long-distance highway driving. Additionally, the default unit for tire pressure is bar, but if you're not used to it, you can switch to psi in the settings.
When I first got my Lynk & Co 01, I also searched for the tire pressure monitoring location. Later I found that you don't actually need to go into the central control menu. Just start the vehicle and use the multifunction buttons on the right side of the steering wheel: first press the left button to switch to the information display, then scroll up and down to see the real-time pressure values of all four tires. If the tire pressure is abnormal, such as dropping below 1.8 bar, the system will automatically sound an alarm, and the dashboard will show which tire has the problem. Last time when I had a slow leak, I detected it early thanks to this feature. The normal status shows a white icon, the warning turns yellow, and if there's a system failure, the icon will flash. I always check it proactively before highway trips, and I reset the tire pressure monitoring data in the car's system at the same time, so the system can recalibrate the baseline values. Lynk & Co's tire pressure monitoring is quite accurate - the sensors are installed inside the wheel hubs for direct measurement, which is much more reliable than brands that rely on ABS estimation.
