Tyre pressure warning

Is this on the 06 model?

 

Normally tyre pressure warning systems work by sensors being fitted to the inside of the rims. Would depend on which system as to whether it could be moved to aftermarket rims etc......

 

Wasn't aware that the 06 has them? Or JDMs? I know 03-05 UK cars don't!

Tire pressure indicator (PSI) (if so

equipped)

The tire pressure indicator shows tire pressure

(0 - 51 psi) of all wheels (except the spare tire)

by sending a signal from a sensor that is installed

in each wheel. Press the trip computer setting

switchB to change the display to F (front) or R

(rear).

The tire pressure sensor will activate only when

the vehicle is driven at speeds above 20 MPH

(32 km/h). If the tire pressure signal cannot be

received correctly, the display shows (----).

The tire pressure indicator mode includes a low

tire pressure warning feature. If the vehicle is

being driven with very low tire pressure (lower

than 28 psi), the tire pressure indicator mode is

automatically selected and the PSI indicator will

blink in order to attract the driver’s attention.

Press the trip computer mode switch A if you

wish to return to the mode that was selected

before the warning occurred. The PSI indicator

will continue blinking until the tire pressure of

each tire is properly adjusted.

Not a beneficial extra for me; I can tell through cornering when my tyres have deflated (even slightly) :)

 

I find the clue is when the bottom of the tyre is almost flat to the rim, splayed out and the tyre's gone all squishy. No flies on me. :thumbs:
