I agree low is low, but i wish there was more info like a PSI reading. cold weather will make it drop just below the threshold that alerts you - maybe down to 25 psi or so where as if you have a nail or screw puncture, you will drop to 10 PSI in a hurry although it may take overnight to go flat... or longer sometimes the screw will hold as a plug at a lower PSI.... and if you really damage a tire like blowing out a sidewall - you will be at 0 almost instantly.
Yeah its a little frustrating that it doesn't give you actual pressure readings. Cost saving measure I'm sure. But much much cheaper Fords and GM's will give you this data.
