Thought I would properly introduce myself, we just purchased a 2014.5 CX-5 FWD Touring in soul red with tech package and Bose/sunroof options. We have had it for a week now and she has 320 miles of experience under her. Everything is going well so far and we enjoy every aspect of the car.
The only issue we have run into, which I'm researching before going to the dealer, is the tire pressure monitor. Yesterday I noticed the tires were getting dirty only in the middle 4" or so and the outer edges looked new. Out of curiosity I checked the tire pressure and much to my amazement they were all between 50 and 52 psi. This is how the dealer delivered the car to us! I even double checked with two different gauges and they both read the same. In reviewing the door sticker the tires are supposed to be at 34 psi so I adjusted the pressure down to 34. After a few miles driving now the tire pressure monitor is coming on. I am wondering if the dealer set the monitor with the high pressure and the lower pressure is making the sensor send a signal?
