tires pressure sensor question??

And any reputable shop will also ask if you have them as well. But like above, letting them know can't hurt. So tell them you have them.
 
I just got the FX, it runs 20" rims, I had never got that size wheel on the car before..

so, how much air I should put in it? 32 or more ??

If you can, get a valve service kit from the dealership. It is a new valve stem. If you don't you can get a slow leak.

It's just like any other valve stem, when you change tires, they always throw away the current ones and put new ones on. They are around $3 per wheel, but only available at the dealership and are typically ordered.

Also, tire pressure, Use the OEM specs for tire pressure. I personally like to run 36 PSI cold, 38-39 psi warm.

The extra PSI gives extra protection to the wheels, better fuel economy. But you will get a harsher ride. I had no issues with irregular wear whatsoever, but I also do rotate my tires.
 
The sticker in your door jamb should say 32 psi for the tires.
I too like to run a little higher, typically about ~35 cold.
