I've been driving a Volkswagen for over ten years, and it's quite common to encounter the tire pressure monitoring system warning light. When the system detects a pressure loss, a yellow indicator light will appear on the dashboard as a reminder. My usual practice is to immediately find a safe place to pull over and turn off the engine, then use a portable pressure gauge to check the actual pressure of each tire. The standard values are usually indicated on a small label on the driver's door frame—for my Tiguan, it's around 2.3 bar. If the pressure is low, I use a portable air pump to inflate the tires to the standard value, which is a straightforward process. After inflating, don't forget to reset the system: turn on the ignition without starting the engine, navigate to the vehicle settings in the central control menu, select the tire pressure monitoring option, and confirm to restart. This will recalibrate the system and dismiss the warning. I make it a habit to check the tire pressure myself every month, especially during seasonal changes when temperature fluctuations can lead to false alarms. If the light remains on or comes back soon after resetting, it might indicate a slow leak or a punctured tire, and you should promptly visit a professional shop for repair—safety first, don't skimp on it.
