2020 Outlander Tire Pressure Reset
2 Answers
2020 Outlander tire pressure reset method: First, turn on the ignition switch, press and hold the tire pressure monitoring reset button until you hear a "ding" sound, then release. The tire pressure monitoring system will store the current normal tire pressure data, automatically clear the previous data, and finally the dashboard warning light will turn off, completing the tire pressure reset. Precautions for inflating tires: Always use a pressure gauge to check the pressure to avoid over-inflation, which can cause the tire to burst. After stopping the vehicle, wait for the tires to cool down before inflating, as driving increases tire temperature, which affects pressure. Check the valve stem. If the valve stem and core are not properly aligned, have protrusions, depressions, or other defects, it will be difficult to inflate and measure pressure. Pay attention to cleanliness when inflating. The air being pumped in should not contain moisture or oil to prevent deterioration and damage to the inner tube rubber. Do not exceed the standard pressure by too much before releasing air, nor over-inflate because you couldn't inflate for a long time while away. Exceeding the standard pressure too much will overstretch the cords, reducing their strength and affecting the tire's lifespan.
I've been driving a 2020 Outlander for a while and have encountered the tire pressure reset a few times. After starting the engine but before moving, use the buttons on the left side of the steering wheel to locate the menu key and select vehicle settings. Inside, there's a tire pressure monitoring option—click it and confirm the reset. Make sure all tire pressures are inflated to the standard values (the recommended PSI is on the sticker on the door frame) before performing the reset. The light should turn off immediately after resetting. If the light remains on, it might indicate aging sensors or a tire leak—either check it yourself or consult a professional. Incorrect tire pressure affects braking distance and fuel consumption, so checking the tire pressure weekly can save you a lot of trouble.
