The tyre pressure monitoring display is non existent on my display screen. I have toggled through the menu using the steering wheel right hand toggle, where engine temp, chassis, power, mileage etc etc comes up but no tyre pressures.
I reset the pressures as explained in the infotainment E guide but the Tyre pressures do not have a menu visible.
Now I know they won't display pressure untill moving, but my car hasn't got any display to start with.
What am I missing guys. ???
Cheers

Tyre pressure display missing

Not all model year have the display available, i think.
I am pretty sure it is now a cumpulsory safety item nowadays, I would certainly expect it to be on an Iconic model from late DEC 2023.
I am popping it into the dealer tomorrow to see if they can uncover where this tyre menu lives.
will let you know.

Well well, I stand corrected,
It appears that the tyre pressure monitor screen as shown on the electronic manual guide is non existent and replaced with a red warning light on the cluster should a tyre pressure malfunction take place.
It is up to the owner to regularly check tyre pressures and not expect the display screen to tell you individual pressures.
My last 3 cars have had displays showing tyre pressures, so to have this technology packed Iconic specification missing this is quite astonishing to me.
As it turned out today following my dealer visit, I had unwittingly parked close to an identical model as mine in a supermarket carpark. I spoke with the driver and he confirmed strangely enough to being alerted by that very red light yesterday
on his own dashboard as a pressure drop took place on a tyre.
His daughter had studied the electronic e guide and she could not find the pressure display either. and eventually realised it is not on the car, as it only activates a warning light with a brief message.
So there you are, that's another difference in our UK spec cars compared to other european models, so the lesson is don't waste your time looking check your tyre pressures manually.
The infotainment screen has an option under the "vehicle" tab to reset the tyre pressure levels after referring to the label on the drivers door on the UK model.
My 20 inch wheels were supposed to be set at 33 PSI in the front and 30 PSI in the back. Once you have done this you press the reset button on the infotainment menu screen which calibrates the pressures to the car. If the pressures rise or fall during driving above or below the tolerances set by Renault the red light on the dashboard will illuminate to tell you to check them.
Have a browse in case you need to do it in an emergency.
I recommend those battery operated air pumps that look like a cordless drill and have a trigger along with a clear display. You see them in Aldi and Lidl sometimes as well as Argos.
Great to keep around and easy to use plus you can change what unit of pressure you wish to use, example PSI OR BAR by clicking a button.
I hope this has been helpful just as it was to me.........but I'm still astonished. !!!!!!

Mr rugby.
Yep, ours gave us warning on a journey last weekend and got the red triangle pop-up.
Was then astonished to find that not only did it not tell you the tyre pressures but it also doesn't even inform you which tyre it detected the problem on
I stopped at the earliest convenience and checked all the tyres and they all seemed fine. So now we were left completely in the dark not knowing which tyre we should be potentially concerned about to even be able to keep a closer eye on it. After resetting the system it didn't go off again in a further 250+ miles of driving on the same journey.
Having the odd false alarm is fine, I think every car I've ever had a TPM system on has thrown at least one spurious alert, but not telling you what pressure it's reading, and much worse, which tyre it's even complaining about is an absolute joke.
Knowing you've got a TPM on the car's spec list you wouldn't even think to ask if it gave the additional information before purchasing.
I was so shocked at the time I was literally outraged!

I totally and utterly agree with you.
All the unnecessary tech that is on this Iconic spec that I doubt I will use, to then find the one item that I would have used is not present. What are Renault thinking ?
Let me use an actual example, my last car which was a Nissan Qashqai was being driven along the M25 at speed ( i know !!!!, it does happen sometimes )
It was on that concrete road section where the gaps between the concrete sections tap like a loud machine gun.
suddenly my tyre pressure display appeared showing a pressure drop in the front right tyre.
I slowed and was able to monitor the actual live pressure, which as it turned out remained stable.
I pulled off at the services and checked the tyres. All was well and no more issues occurred.
If the same thing happened on this car, I feel, I would have to pull over on to the hard shoulder on the mad M25 because the information I need to make a safety judgement is not available on the Austral.
This is Ludicrous. I can massage my back, heat my body, talk to google, but I cant read my tyre pressures at 70 mph on a motorway.
Come on for goodness sake !!!!!!!!!!
I am with you here tmonkeyuk........quite astonished.

Mr rugby.
Renault rang recently to confirm NO.. Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) is fitted to uk austral models only a tyre pressure monitor ( TPM ). So that's how you determine the type you have.
Very crafty Renault in how you have cleverly worded your specification literature.
So just for you to know, a TPMS monitors and displays individual tyre pressures Live, while a TPM just gives you a general warning light without Live individual tyre data which you will then have to physically check yourself at the side of the road, ohhh and you won't know which tyre is affected by the warning, as it's a general alarm.
Incidentally I have not come across any initial reviews or long term reviews as of yet, where the editors have mentioned this omission
I am still astonished.
