It’s good to read the manual. For my previous 2013 CD:

“The Tire Pressure Monitoring System system must be set to the applicable tire pressure (comfort pressure or standard pressure).

If you selected "Comfort press.", the TPMS system automatically uses lower pressure values when monitoring tire pressures.”

Yes to this ^^ and the comfort and full load pressures are in the owner's manual as well. Give it a little wiggle room and you shouldn't have any issues. Not sure what the failure mode is when the batteries die on the TPMS sensors.

If you're firing an alert, -4psi is a pretty big difference. You may have a nail in your tire and a slow leak.
