Those figures around 3 or 4 bar shown on screen seem entirely plausible.
You could do some "ball-park" calculations based on the size of the units and weight of the car as a cross-check. 
e.g. 3 bar is 3*10**5 N/m**2 (30 Newtons per square cm)
A 2 tonne car on Earths surface will apply a force of about 5000 N on each corner, which at 3 bar needs about 156 sq cm.
If that was a disc it would be about 7cm radius, or 5.5" diameter. How does that match the lifting struts?
