Hi,  According to the digital manual I should be able to see the tyre pressure values, however I can't.  I have set the tyre pressures and gone in to the infotainment and pressed 'SET' but the screen doesn't change and I don't see any of the information the manual shows. Any clues what is happening?

 

Thanks 🤔

Could it be that the manual covers things that your car does not have and you just have the basic TPMS?

There will be other stuff in the Owners Manual that does not apply to your particular car.

Could be although I thought the Sportline was quite high spec??

It was and is.  So have they deleted any features that there was as they do with various models / trims?

 

Someone with the same build date car as you will be along that will know hopefully.

Only if you spec it up. The L&K is high spec as standard. The Sportline is a styling exercise: black grill and mirrors and silly "spoiler" on the boot, big rims, lower stance.

Direct TPMS is not standard equipment  in the U.K. market.

you won’t be able to read actual pressures, just it can detect a flatter than the rest tyre

Or even a more inflated tyre so more circumference as brakes are binding or a bearing going and a wheel overheats and the air in the tyre does.

Something that some forget or do not know when they get a warning and dont check the pressures at the time and feel the heat but wait until the tytes are cooled and the pressures look fine as they post on here when saying they get false warnings.

Direct TPMS is not standard across any of the Skoda models.

In most markets, it's not even offered as an option for ur Skoda.

Russia offers it as an option on Kodiaqs there.

 

Indirect TPMS is the normal.  Its known as the Tyre Pressure Loss Indicator (TPLI).

 

TPLI uses the wheel ABS sensors to compare the rotational speed of each wheel to determine differences in tyre pressures.  There is no extra hardware or sensors required, hence it's standard.

 

TPMS has extra hardware - 4x pressure sensors in each rim and a receiver module.  This gives u the actual tyre pressure readings.

The Audi version goes one step further and gives u tyre temperatures in addition!

 

 

I retrofitted the Direct TPMS version in my Superb last year.  I'm happy with it.
