Default Tire pressure monitor

Does the tire pressure monitor give separate pressures for each individual tire? I hope so because my C63 AMG just warns of low pressure. You then have to figure out which damn tire it is by checking them all. Pathetic but I guess it's because it's an '08' MY.

The manual says the message center will identify which tire is low. Manuals are available in a sticky thread at the top of the forum.

Yes, this is a minor disappointment to me. The past several cars I've had, including both my MB and Ford Fusion (!), will read the actual pressure in each tire. The Jag doesn't.

As I've said in other threads, I think the Jag could use a software update to add/improve features. I hope they will add a real TPM and make it available to all owners.

Wow. I found out that it changed with the 2010 MY C63's. I would think they'd put that in a 2014/15 Jag. Smh.

Totally agree! BUT my biggest disappointment in the software is that the Nav and Phone system are NOT voice activated.

This puts the Jag back around 2005 in technology.

Man that is a disappointment. Even my old C63 has that.

A marketing decision I understand. Guy buys an F-type, gets bored with it, and lemon laws the car because the voice activation doesn't work well with the top down.

Doesn’t work with the top or down! Yes it was a decision of theirs and they did not tell the sales agents. We were told it HAD voice activation.

A friend of mine, who bought one of the first F-types to arrive at his dealer, was equally surprised at its omission. He then couldn't convince his clueless sales rep that the car had no voice activation.

Realizing that this only works for calling, I have found that the Siri function on my iPhone works well to call via Bluetooth in my '13 Range Rover Sport with, I'm sure, similar software. Hopefully I'll be able to test this out in about three weeks...

The really bad part (for someone at some point) is that you can reach over and program it while going any speed. This will cause a problem at some point I’m sure. My Lexus and Infinity both lock you out. Safety reasons per them.

The factory rep told me it would of cost 0 more for them to at it at production. Boy wasn’t that a no brainer. Don’t use it if you don’t want to but..... Oh well I guess I’m

My 2015 F-Type coupe shows individual tire pressures.

The tire pressure info is accessed with the instrument console, using the menu buttons on the steering wheel. Hit 'menu' and then navigate to vehicle info.

It shows a nice picture of the car with the pressures for each of the 4 tires.

Nice. I'm happy now.

Great that the TPMS monitors individual tires. I did expect to see that and am glad it's there.

On a related TPMS note, what I have yet to find is a TPMS "reset" button, which I have had on recent rides to reset the TPMS sensors after I added air to compensate for temps, driving, etc.

Perhaps I just missed it, but it appears the TPMS is a passive system, simply picking up an increase in tire pressures and registering accordingly under the Vehicle Info Menu option once the sensors have a little time to pick up the new pressure readings.

Do I have this right?

Nice. Mine doesn't have that. At least they're learning.

No tpms control on the vert. At least I cant find it. In fact, I can rarely get into the 'engine' section of the menu, and ive never had any reading about oil level

Car has to be in park. Hit the Menu button on the steering wheel (left side). Go down to Vehicle Info. You should see tire pressure.

I suspect they added that for 2015 models? Not there for me. For oil pressure, engine is supposed to be warm, but off for 10 minutes which makes it a bit inconvenient.
