Acura RDX Tire Pressure Monitoring System 2019 SUV Specification

The Acura RDX 2019 SUV is equipped with an advanced Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) designed to enhance safety and performance. This system continuously monitors the air pressure in all four tires, providing real-time data to the driver. It employs direct TPMS technology, utilizing sensors mounted on each tire valve stem that measure the internal pressure and temperature. These sensors wirelessly transmit the information to the vehicle's onboard computer.

The TPMS alerts the driver via the dashboard display if any tire's pressure falls below the recommended level, ensuring that under-inflated tires are promptly addressed. This feature helps maintain optimal tire performance, fuel efficiency, and overall vehicle handling. The system is calibrated to notify the driver when tire pressure drops by 25% or more below the recommended threshold, adhering to industry safety standards.

Additionally, the Acura RDX TPMS includes a tire fill assist feature. When inflating a tire, the system provides visual and audible signals to indicate when the correct pressure is reached, streamlining the process and reducing the risk of over-inflation. The system also integrates with the vehicle's user interface, allowing drivers to access tire pressure information through the infotainment system.

This sophisticated TPMS enhances the driving experience by offering precise tire pressure monitoring, contributing to improved safety, extended tire life, and better fuel economy. The Acura RDX 2019's TPMS is an integral component of the vehicle's comprehensive safety suite, reflecting Acura's commitment to advanced automotive technology and driver convenience.

Acura RDX Tire Pressure Monitoring System 2019 SUV F.A.Q.

How do I reset the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) on my 2019 Acura RDX?

To reset the TPMS on your 2019 Acura RDX, turn the ignition switch to ON, without starting the engine. Press and hold the TPMS button located on the lower left portion of the dashboard until the low tire pressure/TPMS light blinks twice. This will reset the system.

What does the TPMS warning light mean on the Acura RDX?

The TPMS warning light indicates that one or more of your tires may be under-inflated. Check the tire pressure in all tires and inflate them to the recommended PSI as listed in the driver’s side doorjamb.

Can I drive with the TPMS light on in my Acura RDX?

While it's possible to drive with the TPMS light on, it's not recommended. A lit TPMS light means your tire pressure is not at the optimal level, which can affect vehicle handling and fuel efficiency. Check and correct tire pressures as soon as possible.

How often should I check the tire pressure on my 2019 Acura RDX?

It's advised to check your tire pressure at least once a month and before long trips. Regular checks ensure optimal performance and safety.

What should I do if the TPMS light blinks continuously on my Acura RDX?

A continuously blinking TPMS light may indicate a malfunction in the system. You should have the system checked by a professional to diagnose and repair any potential issues.

Does changing tires affect the TPMS on my Acura RDX?

Yes, changing tires can affect the TPMS. Ensure that the new tires are equipped with compatible sensors or that the existing sensors are transferred and reprogrammed if necessary.

Can I use a tire sealant with the TPMS on my Acura RDX?

Using a tire sealant can sometimes clog the TPMS sensors. It's best to use only sealants that are TPMS-safe and to have the sensor checked after using sealant.

What is the recommended tire pressure for the 2019 Acura RDX?

The recommended tire pressure for the 2019 Acura RDX is typically 33 PSI for both front and rear tires. Always verify with the sticker located inside the driver's door for exact specifications.

How do temperature changes affect the TPMS readings on my Acura RDX?

Temperature changes can cause tire pressure to fluctuate. Cold weather can lower tire pressure, triggering the TPMS light, while warm weather can increase pressure. Regular monitoring is essential during temperature shifts.

What maintenance does the TPMS require on my Acura RDX?

The TPMS sensors generally require little maintenance but should be checked during tire changes or rotations. Ensure that the sensor batteries are functioning and replace them as needed every 5 to 7 years.
