3. The Display
The display unit is the interface between the TPMS and the user. The
display has a graphical representation of the vehicle with tire icons on
the left side of the screen, a
thermometer icon and
temperature reading on the upper
right, and a tire status icon and
pressure reading on the lower
right side.
There is a status lamp on the right
side of the display. Below the status lamp there is a control button.
Pressing the control button will display individual tire pressure and
temperature readings; a darken tire icon on the vehicle graphic
indicates the associated tire location.
On the right edge of the display unit there is a button for programming
the system. Detail description of the set up procedures will be
described in a later section.
3. 1 Operation
After installation, the system operates automatically and continuously.
When vehicle power is turned on, the display will show the current tire
pressure and temperature one-by-one from tire No.1 to No. 4. The
display then turns off and only the status light remains lit. A
green
status light indicates normal pressure and temperature for all tires.
Otherwise the status light turns to
blinking red (low tire pressure
and/or rapid air loss) or red (other warnings), and the corresponding
tire indicator(s) and the warning icon(s) will be illuminated.
The order of tire information
display for a 4-tire vehicle is
as showed on the right.

visible; indicating tire
temperature is too high.
