I hadn't known that there were individual sensors. Are these on the '08s in the US? Will it show the actual pressure of each tire in psi on the display?

1. No
2. Yes
3. Pretty soft, but so are high performance summer tires. Snow tires are grippier in the cold.

Does anyone know if the hatch light switches off automatically after a set time? I like to keep my hatch open in the garage to air out the car and I wouldn't want to run down the battery.
