Low tyre pressure warning

Hi guys,

I few days back while driving i had a low tyre pressure warning show up, i filled the the tyres with air and reset the monitor everything seemed fine for a few days. Then today while driving the message has reappeared, my question is am i looking at a puncture ? When i look at the 4 tyres visually they all seem fine, my question is how can i know which tyre is punctured/ if it is ? Im using michellin pilot sport 4 ZP.

Looking at them is not the answer. Check the actual pressure with a gauge.

Look at the central display or tell the voice commands tyre pressures and you'll get a graphic showing which the, if any, is deflated

Could also be temperature related rather than a puncture.

does the G20 show/display the actual tire pressures of each tire in PSI like the F30's do?

Depends on the market where the car is sold. In some places, it's only equiped with a tire pressure loss indication (using ABS sensors to detect rotational speed differences). Other markets or as an option, there are actual sensors within the wheels to measure the actual pressure and then display on the centre screen.

In the US it displays the actual pressure. And you can even code it to show the temperatures, like I did. I’m not sure how it is in other markets.

In the UK, mine shows both Pressure in Bar, and temperature for all 4 wheels... It will even adjust the pressure reading in real-time if you have the display showing whilst inflating 👍🏼
