Tyre pressure monitor.

Do we have it or not?
My handbook describes it & shows the amber warning symbol, which is meant to illuminate briefly during the system check stage. I can't see this symbol on the dash of my "06 HSE & always thought that a pressure monitor wasn't fitted.

I have a friend who used to have a Renault Laguna that was fitted with TP monitors and they were nothing but trouble! Now an ex-D3 owner after 7 happy years. Miss the car but not the big bills

I did 2 months in a Ford Explorer last summer in Washington, it has pressure sensors. The only thing that alerted me to the tyre deflating was the hisssssssssssss, not the system. Lucky I heard it as was miles from nowhere on a logging track & no phone coverage. Managed to get to a town before too deplated, then warning went off!

On the Mini, it uses the ABS senor to detect that a deflated tyre has a different circumference, as the deflated tyre will spin at a different speed to the others. It's a simple method that doesn't need much extra technology.
You have to press a button near the handbrake to reset the system when you have checked all the tyres are ok and correctly inflated.

I could see that if LR used this method, it would immediately flash up as soon as you went off road when the tyres started to slip. Matt

All North America LR3/Disco3 and RRS now have TPMS as of December builds... it'll be "mandatory by law" in US soon.
