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.

On the Lexus and also Landcruiser up to 2021, you cannot see the individual pressures. All you get is a warning that one of the tyres is low pressure. I believe this recently changed as the 2025 Yaris shows individual pressures. On all my Jeeps from the 2005 model until the 2018 model individuals pressures were shown.
The sensitivity resulted in you correcting an underinflate tyre, that would be it doing its job to me and that I would be pleased with.

I guess it all depends who when and where the original calibration was done?
I’ll get some photos in the next poor weather
I suspect mine is due to their age as they're slower to change as the tyres warm up than they used to be.
