My VW is finite per tyre. The warning below 33 psi is a visual and initial gong. So very sensitive and I’d say well done the engineers getting it to do what it should so accurately
My Touareg isn't so sensitive - the monitor specifies 2.3 bar (33 psi) but doesn't trigger at 2.2, only if it drops to 2.1 - mind you the sensors are over 10 years old compared to a nominal battery life of 5 years.

I. Think my 2014 Santa Fe , is the same, Normal tyre pressures are 33, and TMPS warns ast 30 psi. A sensible drop.

The Kuga gives the pressure readings of all 4 tyres so you can see which one is low if warning comes on. So I pump all tyres to the pressures required back and front and then in the menu press set to store them. So if I need the rears a bit higher I put extra pressure in them and then in the menu do a set again to remember them. If one gets low the display shows which tyre it is. Previous motors have needed checking every tyre with a gauge to find which one was causing the warning.
