get in car, hit reset to get of the service tire monitor system. After that I tend to change every few weeks. I like the mpg stuff and also the tranny temp.

At startup, I check battery volts, tire pressure and then watch oil temp until it's 150+. Then I watch oil pressure and switch between fuel mileage, range, and oil psi while driving.

I will also often pull codes to see if any are showing.

MPG Average usually. I wish there was a way to set it to automatically cycle between all the readings.

Instant MPG usually. When I'm get under 1/8th tank I switch to range. Usually flip through all however on a drive!

AVG MPG on the DIC and temperature on the HUD.

I reset all the MPG related options after every refill.

Front tire pressure. Once or twice during a drive I'll usually hit once to check rear, then 5 or 6 hits back to front.

Had enough nails in other vehicle tires to keep an eye out.

Also, when filling up, I set the pump on auto and walk-around glancing at the tires for anything stuck in them.

Paranoid? Maybe, but I can say thus far, I've always caught an object in the tire before it was too late.
