Tire presure sensors

Hi,
just installed my winter tires with no tire pressure sensors installed. From what I've read on other posts I should of get a warning light on the main console but nothing is on ... Any idea what's going on ?
From what I've read tire pressure sensors are supposed to be standard ...

Thanks

Have you driven around to give the system a chance to check? The light will come on.

Sorry, but I think that's virtually impossible. Even if the system has a failure the light will still come on. No offense, but are you sure you are looking for the right light?

I hope I'm looking at the right place (lower right side of the TACHOMETER dial ...). read somewhere that you might need to drive it 30-40 miles until will reset. that might be the case.

The light will look similar to this... (!)

I guess it could take 30-40 miles... Normally not though. It's just strange.
