I pulled over and sure enough it was almost flat and just as I stopped the warning came on. I pumped it up with the sealant and dropped it off at the dealer for repair.
I asked why the TPMS didn't detect it until I stopped and apparently it takes a while to detect and it detects based on rotational speed differential of the wheels, not the pressure.
Some of you get false warnings and I didn't get any warning. Seems like a robust system.

That is FTM not TPMS, TPMS will tell your directly what pressure is. i have already upgraded to TPMS, check my post
