Tire Pressure Monitor System
My RL is just one week old. After years of being a real stickler for regular tire pressure checks, I'm happy to have the TPMS. Of course, old habits die hard, and I got out my trusty digital tire pressure gauge and checked the tire pressure this morning after a chilly overnight. I found a 2 psi difference between my digital gauge and the TPMS on the car. (My gauge showed 32 fronts, 30 rears, while the TPMS indicated 30 fronts, 28 rears. Has anyone else experienced this? Can this system be adjusted? Which should I trust.......new technology or my trusty gauge? Any input is appreciated.

I recall seeing a setup screen for the TPMS on the hidden menu screen on the Nav display, I didn't take a real good look at it, but it appeared that adjustments could be made there

If your desire is to accurately track your tire pressure then stick with the trusty gauges.

I wish us Canucks had our TPMS in psi instead of the silly kPa. I dont know one Canadian who uses kPa. I realize it is the metric way but damn, we aren't fully metric here in Canada so don't make everything metric.
Same goes for CDN car companies when they list dimentions in mm...like anyone here uses mm for their measurements. hehe
I do agree with karl that the system is more for making sure there arent any issues with the tire pressure rather than using it to get a truly accurate reading.

Gauge discrepancy
My handheld digital gauge reads 2-3# higher than the TPMS. I am going to cross reference 2 or 3 hand held gauges to get a better feel for which is inaccurate.
