Returning home from just a 5-6 mile drive today I got a ping that I had never heard before. It turned out to be an icon telling me that all my tyres were underinflated. I suspect they were over-inflated due to the temperature, but I will check tomorrow. I didn't even know that my 2016 Citroen C3 had sensors fitted.
Hot tyres - sensor pinged

I used to get for the first few days of cold weather on my Suzuki Vitara.
Get that every couple of years or so on my Honda Jazz. Apart from one time when both rear tyres had low pressure within a week (problem with the alloy wheels!), all "low tyre pressure" warnings have been false alarms. It means a delve into the car's menu to reset the warning is required, and happens infrequently enough that I can never remember how to do it without consulting the manual.
My 2013 Octavia has a system that apparently works out relative rotation speeds of the tyres using the ABS sensors rather than pressure. Causes the dash light to go crazy after the battery has been disconnected, but resets itself after a couple of hundred metres driving.

Had to reset as tyres were fine. Citroen don't make things easy tho'
Common with alloy wheels.
