I can't believe I read this thread yesterday, then when we got in the car to go for ice cream after dinner, the dash flashed FLAT TIRE! Seems like the r/r tire was at 30 lbs; I went to the service station and filled it up. This morning it seems fine; perhaps just a (very) slow leak (I hope).

TPMS also means that you don't need a separate tire pressure guage - I just ran back and forth from the dash to the tire while filling.

Anyone know what the threshhold is before it will complain about low pressure?



Wow. Now there's just one more of us who will get the dreaded tire flat! (bad things come in threes).

Problem with TPMS (I believe) is more often than not the guage is has an incorrect reading and needs to be calibrated; your guage on dash may not be accurate. Mine has always been several pounds off; didn't calibrate it yet.
