Unfortunately, it just gives a generic warning. No specific tire identification and no info on the actual pressure. It's a shame since the car has individual receiver antennas near each tire. You still have to carry a tire pressure gauge in your glove box.
It appears that the TPMS also recognizes individual tire transmitter ID's. I recently purchased a set of winter tires and wanted to check that the new TPMS transmitters in them were going to work with my car. I mounted one winter tire and set it to the same pressure as the original all-season tire that was previously on the car. The TPMS warning immediately triggered. I selected “TPMS RESET” via iDrive and after driving a half-mile, the warning shut off. Returning the all-season tire required another reset cycle.
