Question for 2006 owners, where is the TPMS?
How many of you 2006 owners have TPMS(tire pressure monitor) in your cars? I thought it comes standard in 2006 but I can't seem to locate the TPMS submenu in the dash cluster. I only have about 80 miles so far since I took ownership 4 days ago. Can someone shed some light on this. Thanks.

I spoke to my service advisor today and he told me in 2006 model there aren't any sensors in the wheel anymore and the reading is from the ESP/wheel rotation. He also said we only get a general warning in the dash when computer think the tire pressure is lowering and no more submenu in the dash cluster. I hope this water down version of tire pressure sensors work as it's intended to.
