Tpms
#2
TPMS is not required in Canada like it is in the states.
There should be information in the car manual that would be specific to your car in Canada. It should be in the back index listed under TPMS. Assuming you do have it, there should be instructions on resetting it after either changing tires or filling them to required pressure. When you first start the car all the dash lights light up. One of them should look like a tire. Assuming you do not have low pressure that would not stay lit for any longer than the other tires. If there is low pressure you will also get a warning about it on the display between the speedometer and tachometer.

From reading my manual it appears that the type in the A3 measures wheel speed through the antilock break system rather than actual pressure of each wheel. It still needs to be reset when tires are replaced or during fall/early winter when air needs to be added to keep pressure up to at least minimum for the tire. That type is the least expensive to implement. Ones that display individual tire pressure are more expensive.
There are two warning lights. The one that looks like a tire indicates that pressure is low. There is also some additional info provided in the center in front of the driver temporarily. There is also a warning light with the letters TPMS that will light if there is a problem with the system not related to tire pressure.
