On a long journey the other night, when the little light came on. Pulled over and looked at the tyres - they all looked/felt fine. Continued on to my destination - 8 miles then in the moening drove 20 miles to a service station to check the presures.
One rear tyre had lost just 2 psi ! Sensative or what?
I topped it up, reset the system and continued. 2 days later, the light came on again. 3 psi down same tyre, got it checked, small screw in tyre which was then repaired.
Feel safer knowing I will get a very early warning of a puncture.

Wow. That's pretty sensitive! It's really useful in the "S"...

Why specifically the S!?

I forgot to reset mine when I had new tyres fitted. It flashed at me, which is quite good, considering it's only a 3% difference in diameter before it went in!
