It seems that you learn something new almost every day with the Macan.
Here I was checking the tyre pressure monitor on the small right dial. I scroll through the menu regularly when driving. This TP display only gives indicative tyre pressures though, as temperatures / cornering load actually influences the displayed readings during / straight after a run.
This time though I pressed the RIGHT steering wheel scroll button, by mistake! and found that it then shows whether a tyre(s) need inflating or even reducing the pressure in real time. FILL INFO. Prior to this you have options to enter / change - part or full load, the wheel size and whether summer or winter tyres fitted. Wonderful stuff:
I then did the obvious and checked the manual, in this case the USA on-line version. This is where the photo posted here was sourced.
I made the relevant adjustments, mine were all 0.2 bar over-inflated! Leaving the engine on, I could check the results on the dial as i made the individual adjustments - as well as using my hand held pressure gauge. Later I checked again with my hand gauge when the tyres were all fully cold and they were spot on. As an ex-tyre man this is a revelation and so useful.
Tyre pressures - how to "Fill info"
Good spot! (I was wondering what to do this afternoon; now I can go and play in the car AND justify it to Mrs P!)

Doesn't the left scroll button just mute the stereo if you press it?

You all ought to be ashamed of yourselves, owning up to not knowing this! RTFM!
(And Paul/Ferdie - there’s no need to mention my low pressure alarm at the top of that alpine pass, it was nothing to do with this! )
