But it I don't have the screen on my car to display the PSI, how will I even know?
As Leoleo said, read the owners manual.
There is NO screen to display PSI, just a warning icon to alert you when a tire falls below the minimum value.
This system is not sophisticated enough to show individual pressures, some are

I find it more than a little insulting that this has been forced on us without any possibility of "opting-out".The personal implication is that I'm arbitrarily and capriciously considered to be no smarter and no more observant than the least competent driver in the country.

As usual, I find Norm-logic to be irrefutable. I`ll pass on having an electronic "Nanny".All this electronic frippery (ABS, TPMS, Traction control, Stability control, etc.) adds to the price, complexity and non serviceability of cars.
Make them options and let those who want them, pay for them. JMO

EDIT: "serviceability" is that a word?

Check your owner's manual. It will explain it.

What if you have an 08 mustang but dont have the option with the 6 gauge information system. Does the car still have the tire pressure censors?
Yes you still have them. A light on the speedo cluster will illuminate. The TPMS system is a joke. I have new tires and wheels without the sensors mounted in them and I don't get the light until I have driven 15-20 miles. I can't see how it is useful to find out you have a low (flat) tire until you are up to full speed and going sown the road.

Works for me.

Just wait until the electronics get more involved with steering and simulated road feel. There's at least one engineer that I know of via the internet who thinks that's a really neat thing. I suspect that his childhood was spent playing video games instead of racing homemade downhill buggies (think soapbox derby, only more basic, much cruder, and we had to get ours to turn - or else the choices were toeither bail out or run out onto the main road and hope that nothing was coming). Thanks for prodding my memory a bit, as it just made me realize something . . .
