How to Cancel the Tire Pressure Indicator Light on the Volkswagen Lavida?
2 Answers
To cancel the tire pressure indicator light on the Volkswagen Lavida, follow these steps: First, turn off the engine, then turn on the power to perform a vehicle self-check. Next, press and hold the tire pressure monitoring button located on the right side in front of the gear lever for about three seconds until you hear a beep. Release the button, and the tire pressure indicator light on the dashboard will be canceled. The Lavida is the first A-segment car independently developed by Shanghai Volkswagen. It measures 4605 mm in length, 1765 mm in width, and 1460 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2610 mm. In terms of appearance, the Lavida's front fascia design is significantly different from previous A-segment models under the Volkswagen brand, particularly the unique teardrop-shaped headlights.
I've been driving for ten years and often encounter the issue of the tire pressure indicator light coming on in my Volkswagen Lavida. This light usually indicates insufficient tire pressure in one of the tires or a false alarm from the system—don’t panic or rush to the repair shop. The first step is to park the car safely, get out, and use a tire pressure gauge to check the pressure of all tires one by one, adjusting them to the correct values as indicated on the label near the car door. If all tire pressures are normal, get back in the car, turn the key to the ON position without starting the engine, then look for the multifunction button combination near the steering wheel—usually holding the return button and the confirm button for a few seconds—or navigate to the settings menu on the infotainment screen, select "Vehicle Services," and reset the tire pressure. After confirming, the indicator light should turn off. Sometimes the system takes a few seconds to respond, so don’t worry. Remember to check tire pressure monthly, especially during seasonal changes when temperature fluctuations can cause pressure drops. Ignoring this light may lead to increased fuel consumption, accelerated tire wear, and higher risks when driving on highways. Keep a small tire pressure gauge in the glove box and develop good habits for safety and peace of mind.
