Funny question cause I thought we didnt have tpms because I never found the setting, so I put my rims on drove it for 3 days and tpms lights go on. Im like ok thats fine drove a little longer it goes off for the whole day I was happy. Today I drive to work I almost made it to my store and man lights goes on. Will be going home soon hope the lights go away.

I think in the states it's standard... but it on dash cluster screen, if you press the mode? button on the steering wheel a few times it comes up.

Did you find it? The mode button on steering wheel flips through what's on the dash. Warnings don't go off until under 30psi I think

Ok so when you put aftermarket wheels on without tpms, the light will go on after like 50+km but when you turn your car off for abit lights turns off and stay off for quite awhile. Been testing it for a week now. Much better then seeing the light all the time. Sometime I dont even see the light so that a plus for me.

Oh come now, you GS guys should know this

it's not the "Mode" button.

Right hand side of the steering wheel. Press the "DISP" button and watch the info screen between the speedo and tach. Cycle through some of the readings and TPMS will be the last before settings.

Individual TPMS readouts are standard on the 2013 GS, ES and 2014 IS. The LS, RX Hybrid, and LX all have individual TPMS but it's a crap shoot to know which readout goes to which wheel.

Canadian F-Sport model don't get actual pressure readout. We only get a warning light and then have to check manually each tire with a gauge. Super lame that they omited the individual pressure readout.

Luxury package and up gets the readout.

My F-Sport does not have it according to the manual & distinct lack of switches. However, once, on a very cold day, the TPMS light came on. The dealer said that the cold weather made the air less dense and hence a lower pressure was registered (by the non-existent TPMS) - so I still have no idea. I may let a tyre down just to check...

It's recommended in colder weather to put 1 or two extra psi into the tires so the TPMS is not fooled by the air density

Cold makes the air more dense, less pressure, so you get the warning.
