Low tire pressure alerts

How do I know if my MH is equipped, without having to lower the air pressure manually to find out if. i have a 2013 FR Solera. The owners manual just states"If installed"

Was the pressure monitor option priced out on the equipment sheet?
The manual says if equiped; does it say where the display is WHEN equiped ?

Yep, it says that it's on the speedometer display. No, I don't see the icon there. But my tires have a funny looking cover on the valve stem. So I don't know if there will be an icon show up on the display when I have a low tire. Guess I can take it to a tire shop.

TPMS

There are a ton of diffrent TPMS on the market. The one in my new Mercedes is mounted to the rim and tells me the pressure at any given time but generally speaking for and RV it will be with overly large valve covers. While some look like normal valve stems but have a plate mounted beneath the rim. Many won't display an alert without having the tires at temperature.
When you initially start your car the panel will run through a POST (Power On Self Test) This will generally light all of your warning lights and if you see the one that is described in you manual it is likely that you have the system but not 100%.
Your best bet is to monitor it the old fashioned way and see what happens. If you have it great if you don't you may want to add an aftermarket one.

I believe on a 2013.. It is required, (however the key phrase is "I believe")

Your owner's manual (Chassis manual) should have that info in it.
