Which button to press to check tire pressure on Geely Boyue?

Geely Boyue's tire pressure monitoring button is located at the top of the lever below the steering wheel on the left side, featuring a round button. The tire pressure monitoring display can be viewed on the instrument panel. Below are the principles of automotive tire pressure monitoring: 1. Direct tire pressure monitoring uses pressure sensors installed in each tire to directly measure tire pressure, transmitting pressure information from inside the tire to a central receiver module via wireless transmitters to display data for each tire's pressure. 2. Indirect tire pressure monitoring works by detecting when a tire's pressure decreases, causing the vehicle's weight to reduce the rolling radius of that wheel, leading to faster rotation compared to other wheels. By comparing rotational speed differences between tires, it monitors tire pressure. 3. Characteristics of both types: Each has its advantages and disadvantages. Direct tire pressure monitoring offers more advanced features, allowing real-time measurement of actual instantaneous pressure inside each tire and easy identification of faulty tires. Indirect systems are relatively cheaper, requiring only a software upgrade for vehicles already equipped with 4-wheel ABS (each tire equipped with a wheel speed sensor).
I drive a 2021 Boyue, and the tire pressure display is located in the functional area on the left side of the steering wheel. Find the button that looks like an exclamation mark inside a square frame, press it once, and the central dashboard will switch to the tire pressure interface. Here's the key point: when the vehicle is stationary, holding this button for three seconds can also reset the tire pressure data, which is especially useful. Last time after a tire repair, the technician forgot to reset it for me, and I managed to do it myself. The location may vary for different model years; for older models, look for the 'INFO' button in the steering wheel's button area. Always glance at the data before driving, especially before hitting the highway. A range of 2.3-2.5 bar is generally normal, and fluctuations due to temperature differences are common.
When I first got the Boyue, it was really hard to find the tire pressure info! Later, I discovered that the entire lineup operates it via the steering wheel. On the left side of the multifunction steering wheel, there are five buttons. The tire pressure button is the distinctly raised one with the tire pressure symbol, or you can switch info pages using the left/right arrows. Note that the vehicle must be started for it to display, and tire temperature gradually rises as the tires roll. It's best to get a seasonal calibration at the 4S shop—once, my alarm went off because the left rear wheel sensor's battery was dead.
