Can the tire pressure warning light on the Golf Sportsvan be reset?

The tire pressure warning cannot be reset. Here are the reasons why the tire pressure warning light may be on: 1. Excessive tire pressure: According to international standards, the recommended inflation pressure for car tires is: standard tires 2.4-2.5 bar; reinforced tires 2.8-2.9 bar; the maximum pressure should not exceed 3.5 bar. If the tire pressure exceeds 3.0 bar, it will trigger the tire pressure monitoring light. 2. Low tire pressure driving for too long: If the pressure in one tire is too low, high-speed driving will increase the tire temperature, leading to a rise in tire pressure. In this case, you should stop and rest or replace the spare tire promptly.
Last time I drove the Golf Sportsvan, I also encountered a tire pressure warning, and it can indeed be manually reset. Volkswagen vehicles have a tire pressure reset option in the infotainment screen menu, specifically under the vehicle settings section. First, make sure all four tires are inflated to the standard values indicated on the sticker on the door frame—it's most accurate when done with cold tires. If you've just patched a tire or adjusted the pressure due to seasonal changes, drive a few kilometers to let the system relearn the tire pressure status, then press and hold the tire pressure button on the infotainment screen for three seconds, and the warning light will turn off. However, if the light keeps coming back on, you should carefully check for slow leaks or punctures—my friend has had nails in his tires twice.
