Tire pressure sensors

[Partridge]

See what you find man! I think given when you have set the pressures, you then tap the "calibrate" button on the Sensus menu you are good. I don't beleive the system cares what you set the pressures too, it only monitors for loss of pressure, and perhaps there is an upper limit for warning of "over pressure". The indirect system certainly has no clue what the tires pressures are, it is only monitoring for changes. 

Where are you driving and what are you scraping on. Do you mean those parking blocks and curbs...I rely on the park assist to save me from those, sport chassis is sure to scrape on them ;-)

Probably has a sloped driveway. When I had a S60R with the factory sport kit with winglets, I quite definitely had to be VERY careful about what kind of inclines and driveways I drove up. Backing down was always a little easier as was taking them at a slight angle, but there was a lot of scraping going on.

No, I may be getting old with deteriorating eye sight, but I am still good at avoiding hitting parking blocks and curbs     and No - "drive it like you stole it" /dukes of hazard antics behind the wheel either, although there is some "off road" driving into several of the state parks which are unpaved, but so far (knock on wood) none of them have been as bad as getting in/out of the neighborhood.

It's the way the neighborhoods are designed here for water runoff, transitioning across or off the main roads at bisected intersections is a very slow and appropriate approach angles affair for anything other than lifted vehicles. hitting them straight on even at slow speeds...still a rude awakening. my wife and I both angle into/out of the driveway with the S60 as it is also a bit steep, but its moderate compared to some of the intersections we have to cross to get back to the house.

I'm still waiting on the "summer" wheels to arrive, TPMS sensors arrived late Friday (thanks again for the heads up Power6). once I get everything installed, I will see if I need to bump up the cold tire pressure to compensate for the increased sidewall height. If I do have to bump the pressure to minimize a wallowing effect, I will try the "calibrate" option and a couple of the existing TPMS settings options for the "low load" /"high load" to test the theory it will change the pressure that will throw a tire pressure warning flag on the dash before the wallowy effect becomes noticeable.

I'm a little lost. Between this thread and the one on swedespeed
So, my car has the iTPMS. No value showed, just ok and not-ok
But I don't have keyless entey (unfortunately)
Could I just activate dTPMS and it will work? Or I need the new sensors as well?

My understanding is that- If yours is a US domestic market vehicle with Sensus (other world market vehicles may be different) , it will have to have a full set (quant.=4) of new TPMS sensors installed in the wheels, then you can activate the TPMS pressure value setting with OrBit and see actual pressures instead of just the (green)ok/not ok(yellow) icons.

When I had a low car I was acutely aware of go/no go intersections, driveways, parking lot entrances, etc. It’s part of why its so hard to find a body kit fitted S60R with the winglets intact. They took away so much approach angle that they tended to get ripped off most cars eventually.
