Rentech Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 Hi All, In anticipation of my new car arriving by the end of this week I've downloaded a 2006 owners manual. Couldn't find a UK version. The manual mentions a tyre pressure indicator on the multi function display. Is this fitted to UK models? I like my gadgets so would be something else to play with Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AK350Z Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 Not on the new 313ps version either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stew Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 Guessing it's maybe optional in the US. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bronzee Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 Yes it's on the upper spec US models. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanS16 Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 Wonder if it can be added by doing a US centre dials swap? Are US clocks in kmh or mph? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 Should be MPH. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digsy Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 Wonder if it can be added by doing a US centre dials swap? Are US clocks in kmh or mph? You'd need the TPS sensors in the wheels too. Not worth the bother IMHO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z Boy Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 Fill them with nitrogen and then you've only gotta check them once a month or something anyway! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bronzee Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 Wonder if it can be added by doing a US centre dials swap? Are US clocks in kmh or mph? MPH in the US, KMPH in Canada, bar the ones that have been purchased across the border. Perhaps ask Adam @ Z1, as he's in the US. For me personally I prefer to check the tyre pressure the good old fashioned way on a digital gauge, at least I know I'm getting a true reading. One less set of sensors to drive you nuts.

dcash5 Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 plus the dials would face the wrong way as they are staggered! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinmac Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 Found this when looking for something else today. Its a standard warning on a US wheel site. WARNING! Tire Pressure Monitoring System Your vehicle is equipped with a tire pressure monitoring system that requires a sensor to be installed in the tire and wheel assembly for proper operation. The original sensors from your original wheels can be used or you may purchase sensors from Tire Rack. Your system includes: 315MHZ TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR $260.00 for a quantity of 4 Total Price: $260.00 Additional Information If you purchase a Tire & Wheel Package when you buy new sensors, the sensors will be installed on the wheels at no additional charge. Otherwise, you will have to arrange for installation by a trained technician after your new wheels are shipped to you. Tire Rack's Recommended Installers are available to help you with your installation needs and can be selected by ZIP Code in the shopping cart. Once installed, you will need to read your vehicle's owner's manual to review the proper procedure for allowing your vehicle to "recognize" the new sensors.
