Use the HR-V’s Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) in the instrument cluster to view real-time tire pressures for all four tires. The easiest way is through the driver’s information display with the steering wheel controls; you’ll see each tire’s current pressure and any warning if a tire is underinflated.
Using the TPMS in the instrument cluster
If you want to read tire pressures directly from the vehicle’s display, follow these steps.
- Turn the ignition to On (engine can be off) and park on a level surface.
- Use the steering wheel controls to navigate the driver information display until you reach the TPMS or Tire Pressure screen.
- Read the four pressures displayed, each corresponding to a corner of the vehicle: front-left, front-right, rear-left, and rear-right.
- Compare each reading to the recommended cold tire pressure printed on the door placard, and adjust if needed.
Note that if a tire falls below the recommended pressure, the TPMS warning light may illuminate. Inflate the affected tire and recheck the readings.
Manual check and door placard reference
For a secondary check or if you don’t have immediate access to the TPMS screen, you can verify pressures with a gauge using the official specifications printed on the door jamb sticker.
- Find the door jamb sticker on the driver’s side to see the recommended cold tire pressures for front and rear tires corresponding to your tire size.
- Park on a level surface and ensure the tires are cold (not recently driven).
- Remove the valve caps and use a tire pressure gauge to measure each tire’s current pressure.
- Inflate or deflate each tire to match the door-placard recommendations, then recheck all four readings.
After adjusting, recheck the tires to confirm all four pressures meet the manufacturer’s specifications. This manual approach provides exact numbers if the TPMS display isn’t accessible.
Troubleshooting TPMS warnings
If the TPMS light stays on after inflating to the recommended pressures, there may be a sensor fault or calibration issue. In that case, contact a Honda dealer or a qualified mechanic to inspect the system.
Summary
Reading tire pressure on a 2022 Honda HR-V is quick and reliable through the TPMS in the instrument cluster, with a backup check using a tire gauge against the door placard. Regular monitoring helps maximize safety, fuel efficiency, and tire longevity.
