Default TPMS display?

I read the owner's manual and it never mentioned anything about a TPMS display or indicator. Does it only come on when tires are low? I ask because my last vehicle a 2010 Cadillac SRX had a display which showed each tire's air pressure and warning display when a tire was low.

Nope. There isnt a readout... it only triggers when its low and will set a warning on your ip.

You can check the tires manually and then check is indicator telling you truth or not.

I don't have a spot to see pressures, no way to compare them.

Page 12 of my 2012 owner's manual shows an illustration of the instrument cluster. The TPMS indicator is located on the tach -- lower right just below the * 7 *.

Page 16 shows the TPMS symbol with a brief decription and also referring to the Tires , Wheels and Loading section for more information pertaining to the TPMS -- starting on page 255.

In other words the manual does have information regarding the TPMS -- at least my manual does.

If your asking if the TPMS has an active display and for each tire -- no it doesn't.
