Will Volkswagen not alert for a punctured tire?

[Marty]

There are two scenarios where a punctured tire may not trigger an alert: 1. The puncture doesn't cause air leakage, 2. The tire rapidly loses all air. If the tire leaks slowly over about 1km, the dashboard will display a tire pressure warning light. A punctured tire causing the TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System) light to come on usually indicates very slow air leakage, making it difficult to immediately identify which tire is affected. In such cases, use a tire pressure gauge to measure the pressure: front tires should be at 2.3 bar, rear tires at 2.5 bar. If any tire is low, inflate it to the correct pressure and then monitor the TPMS light. If the light comes on again after a few days, the tire may need to be removed for inspection. According to the international GBT2978-2008 standard, standard tires should have a pressure of 2.4-2.5 bar; reinforced tires: 2.8-2.9 bar; maximum pressure should not exceed 3.5 bar. Therefore, if any tire exceeds 3.0 bar, it may trigger the TPMS light. If a tire has significantly low pressure, high-speed driving can increase tire temperature, leading to increased pressure. In such cases, it's advisable to stop and rest or switch to a spare tire. When the pressure drops below 1.8 bar, the TPMS light will illuminate, and the tire should be inflated immediately.
