My tyre monitoring system acts weird:

the pressure suggested on the sticker is 2.3 front and 2.1 rear (18"),
when I've picked up the car the 1st time was about 3.0 all the whells, and well, I'v restored the right pressure (it was hard and noisy wth 3.0).

The monitoring system keeps annoying me every time I turn on the car saying my pressure is low, but actually is 2.8 front and 2.6 rear, much more than the suggested pressure.

Playing a bit I've discovered that the advice is setted at about 2.7 bar, but the suggested pressure is 2.3 - 2.1 =.=
and the ride is really better at the suggested pressure, instead of what is right for the monitoring system.
Anyone with the same issue?

You can reset the tire pressure monitoring system after you've set up the new pressure. Dunno how it's done in Puma though. Search the menus.

My tyres were way over when delivered.

Should be 2.3(33psi) and 2.1(30psi) rear , 2.4 (35) and 2.6 (38) loaded. Only use the display as a guide when tyres are cold.

mine were set as if I had a full load when I picked it up, so could have been worse by the sound of things. soon sorted it
