If you leave the ignition on (but engine off) when adding air to a tire, the car horn will beep when the tire is at 32 psi. Don't need a tire gauge. I am not convinced these things are that accurate. It's not spot on accuracy I worry about. It's losing 10-20 lbs rapidly, or the temperature increasing rapidly that worries me. I like the idea of a warning alarm when either occurs. That is what the sensor is meant to do. I still want to use a real gauge to inflate them. I checked the readings given by my car display with a dial type gauge that I have used for years. It's a fairly expensive one that holds the reading until you push a button on the side to release the pressure within the gauge. Anyway, dead nuts with the Nissan system readings as near as I can tell. The Nissan display reads in 10ths of a psi. Can't resolve it that well with the expensive dial gauge. I am just relating my experience with whatever Ford was buying some years ago. Actually, I fu'ked up. It doesn't display in tenths. I must have been thinking of the average fuel mileage display. I just took a ride to the store and put the dashboard display on the tire pressures. It shows a graphic of a car frame and all four tires and their pressures. When I left the driveway they were reading 32, 32, 32 and 31. The 31 reading came up to 32 within about 2 miles. Within 5 miles they were all reading 33 psi. --- This email has been checked for viruses by AVG. http://www.avg.com |
