for my 2021 Macan S ... "Tyre Pressure Monitoring System" is standard equipment. But where is it? It's not visible in the right-hand screen in the cluster (unless I'm missing somewhere where you can select what is displayed with each turn of the thumbwheel).
You are missing something, TPMS has not been selected in the "Menu scope". From the Vehicle menu:20240107_161803.jpg
Click thumbwheel, >Settings>Display>Menu scope. Then scroll through the list tick anything you want to add (ie. TPM) untick anything you see but don't want. Then use the return button to exit. If you have a memory function now save the settings or it'll all revert next time you turn the ignition on!
I certainly had a low pressure warning for a lesser margin than you on my 2020MY Macan but TPMS was selected. Now having been exposed to LOTS of Tyre Pressure forum wisdom I leave guidance on Pressure setting to the TPMS (when stationary, press the thumbwheel and select Fill info) but don't sweat over the odd +/- PSI they do vary until the tyres are thoroughly warmed up.
Thank you!
TPMS has now appeared!
I couldn't find this anywhere in the user manual. It just kept saying to go to Vehicle Settings > Screens, where there's nothing useful.
Nothing beats sitting in the car and finger poking!

Tyres that were last inflated during the last heatwave at 35C, incorrectly using a pressure gauge, could easily be showing 22psi now when the ambient temperature is in single figures. And this could explain why the TPMS didn’t register an alarm. The tyre pressures should only be adjusted by adding or subtracting the amount of pressure that the TPMS system indicates after a drive to register the pressures. A pressure gauge is unnecessary for adjusting tyre pressures but can be used occasionally to check that the TPMS is functioning correctly.

Each tyre was 10psi down? Wow!
Surely the car should have warned about this way before?
I can feel a difference with just a few PSI down. 10psi must have felt like running on flats or winters.
Not everybody is as sensitive as you wab

After about fifteen minutes driving, if you rotate the right hand roller on the steering wheel you can bring up a display of the current tyre pressures. The readings need to be treated with a dash of caution because tyre temperatures will vary in different positions depending on the driving you've been doing..
I have found that topping the tyres when cold using a prssure gauge to set the pressures only produces a difference of 1 or 2 psi (I'm old so I prefer Imperial measurements ) in the TPMS when I access it via the My Porsche app. It was a post by Nick some time ago that alerted me to the fact that TPMS displays pressures corrected to 20 deg C when the car is static.
