TPMS

Apologies but can't find anything on this, though the answer is probably obvious but thought I would ask in case I'm going mad. My GT has what looks like TPMS valves, but the button on the roof to recalibrate is not present (ie never fitted) and I can't find a way of displaying tyres pressures. I therefore presume the car does not have TPMS? ( I don't have an owners manual which doesn't help either)

cheers

On my GranTurismo you get the pressures by pressing the mode button (RHS of steering wheel) about four times. Worth a look although I believe the early GranTurismos have the roof button like the QPV.

It’s your lucky day. TPMS not fitted so you won’t have the usual cost and pain of sorting it out.
Hooray for you. These are a total PITA in my opinion. My partner is genuinely worried when any pressure reading changes on the truck.\
Was TPMS introduced when run flat tyres arrived? Necessary evil to stop an accident when driver carries on with no air inside a tyre.
