Default New to Volvo, old to European cars.

Hello all, I recently purchased a 2014 S60 T5, I love Volvo I have always liked the safety features and the styling of Volvo but I was a BMW driver for over 20 years.
My 2005 E46 sedan was a very reliable daily driver but some pizza delivery kid ran a stop sign and t boned my back seat area of the car (passenger side). I was not injured (thankfully) but the poor car was beaten up, insurance totaled it out.

I've had a few Mercedes, several BMWs and now I figured might as well own a Volvo to write off the bucket list.
I have a few questions related to the car. With the 2014 model year S60 (T5) does the tire pressure monitoring system show a live read out of the tire pressure or will it only give a low PSI warning light when the tire's pressure need to be re-inflated? If I am not mistaken all cars sold in after 2008 North America and EU require a tire pressure warning light.

Doesn't look like it... Page 315 in https://volvornt.harte-hanks.com/man...ers-Manual.pdf gives the walk through of how Volvo's TPMS works. It will warn when a tire is flat or under-inflated and indicate which wheel, but I don't see where this model year has an option to read the PSIs. Too bad - this car uses the in-wheel sensors (tell is when your wheels have metal valve stems) similar to my VW CC which does provide a PSI read out. To note, the TPMS is not a replacement for a quality tire gauge as I find the TPMS in my VW can vary 2-3 PSI day to day/wheel by wheel. I still keep a tire gauge and check regularly. Note that in 2015 Volvo went to the ABS/wheel speed sensor approach (no in-wheel sensors) but I see some of the 2019+ models offer a PSI read out...
