Why is there a plastic part exposed on the bottom of the car
Why is this exposed next to the driver rear side wheel.
Suppose to be like this?

That's what I saw in my service manual - and yes - it was shown as under the vehicle, drivers side. Toward the rear. I was wondering how the system recognizes the different wheel sensors - must be some sort of magic.
From the manual:
Last item in that list..
As to how they learn:
There'ya go. BTW - some info on the year/model of your P!G is useful when asking questions. Intelligent questions tend to get intelligent answers. Other ones are ignored.

The wheel electronics units send the currently measured tyre pressure, the direction of rotation, the temperature of the air in the tyre and the remaining service life (of the battery) as well as a specific ID from the wheel that is currently turning at specified intervals.
The wheel position is learned automatically from the side and axle specifications. The direction of rotation of a wheel is detected by acceleration sensors in the wheel electronics (left/right detection). Axle sensing (front axle/rear axle detection) is performed based on differentiated sound levels between the front and rear axle, where the central antenna is fitted close to one axle (high level). The levels received from the other axle are correspondingly low.
