Title: Digital gauge is not showing the car symbol
Post by: meysammaleki on February 07, 2017, 06:50:19: Hello,

Two days ago i decided to change 4 tires of my i30 (2011). After changing the tires the TPMS indicator turned on for some hours at the same time the car symbol which is usually shown on the driving gauge disappeared. I mean the symbol in front of the gear indicator which shows if doors are open. Now the TPMS is off but the car symbol is not showing.

To be more specific, if i open any door, the car symbol will be visible again and it shows correctly which door is open, but when all doors are closed, it is not visible.
I took below image when all doors were closed.

many thanks
Meysam

Post by: meysammaleki on February 07, 2017, 06:58:50: before changes the tires, the car symbol was showing all the time.

Note that the car symbol shows if any door is open, it also says something about tires (using the pressure sensor inside tires), though i don't think it is accurate.

Post by: meysammaleki on February 07, 2017, 07:25:30: Previously it used to be like this: The TPMS light was off, the car symbol on the gauge was showing a short line along each tire. I used to call this situation a "Normal" situation. do you mean this line along each tire is indicating a problem?

I just made below image to show what do i mean, sorry for the quality.

The car symbol only ever showed when a door was open or if a tyre was under pressured (don't have a pic of that)
