Yes, I believe the pressure only has to drop slightly to trigger a warning, but you would think it would also warn of over inflation.

Just checked mine and they seem to be between 28 and 30. Will leave over night so cold and if they are this will let some air out in the morning.

Thanks for heads up

Making me smile - funny how few people in the UK never seem to refer to tyre pressures in metric units such as 1.8 bar. Imperial units such as miles and psi (either absolute or gauge) just go on and on. Surprised the recommended pressure is only 26psi, I'd have thought it would have been a bit higher.

You would need to check the handbook but I think its a relative measurement so if the tyre fitter reset the system with the tyres overinflated its not going to know.

Some Suzukis and a bunch of motorcycles.

My experience of basic TPMS is that you inflate your tyres to the right pressures, then reset the system.

You therefore “tell it” what the pressures should be.

The system will then warn if tyre pressures drop below this initial setting beyond a defined margin.

More sophisticated versions will show the actual pressures on the instrument panel display.

I've only seen basic ones that trigger on lowered pressure. And I would guess it's like that, because the pressure won't naturally increase in a tire, on the road. Well, unless it gets really hot that is.
