Hi,

I've checked my tyre pressures and they're all correct. So I've then gone into the Tyre settings via Car settings on the Infotainment system. Pressed the SET button. Then confirm.

It says the pressures have been stored. But no other screens come up asking for or showing exact figures. It also keeps the note on screen saying to press the SET button to save the pressures.

Does this mean they're saved? I haven't changed tyres nor pumped them up.

Yes they are saved,did it myself the other day.

 

If the pressure in any tyre drops,for some reason,you'll get a warning.

 

I bought this gauge and found it very accurate and easy to use.

Cheers, Rick. I used the compressor in the boot.

The tire pressure monitor doesn't actually monitor the tire pressure but are relying on the ABS, and will register if a wheel will begin rotate faster becuse of a decreasing lower pressure, meaning a slightly lesser roll diameter.

Thank you....you have justvanswered a hypothetical query on this topic in another thread on Fabia III. Car being driven at, say, 70mph in wet conditions...safely...one driven wheel hits standing water and momentarily aquaplanes. That wheel speeds up, ABS senses it and triggers TPMS alarm even though no change in pressure in any tyres.

Seems feasible.

It's unlikely that the brief period of aquaplaning would set off the TPMS. On my Octavia it needs about a mile to detect a problem. The indirect system normally doesn't detect a quick deflation from something like a blowout.

With vcds you can check the system memory and there are four? Separate values stored, which equate to different speed ranges. So after reseting the system you need to travel at a variety of speeds for a minimum time/distance for the calibration to happen for each range.

In theory it could pick up a problem with more than one tyre.

It's not designed to pick up asunder total deflation, it relies on the fact the driver should notice such an event.
