Tire pressure monitor for Aussie model

[TribecaAussie]

Does anyone know if TPM is built-in for Aussie model ? I couldn't find anywhere in manual saying about this !! Is there anyway that I can check if it's available ? Thanks. V

Let the air out to about 20-25 psi and dive up to about 25 mph for a little bit and you should get an annunciator on the cluster. That would be a dirty way to find out.:)

When you start the car you should see the TPS Icon light up for a few seconds while the light does a self test. Looks like a doopy U with an exclimation point in the center amber in colour.

Well there's no such light overhere, there're bundle of lights, i.e ABS, Cruise, engine light, brake light... but no TPS... it's weird....

you probably dont have it.

Isn't it supposed to be required in the States for '07?

Yes all cars here are to have this eventually from what I understand.

I found it, it's slightly different from US model. Here the light AWD will come up when the tires are in low pressure. ;)

That may be true but it's for a different reason. The AWD light is something we have too. That tells you when one tire is not the right size which will also happen when you have very very low tire pressure. The tire pressure system will tell you a lot sooner than that. It's bad to have a tire that has a 1/4" or more difference in the circumferance. It can damage the AWD systems differetials. Some info on that here:

Our cars don't have the tyre monitor system over here, you guys get everything there.
