How to Cancel the Tire Pressure Warning on Volkswagen Magotan?
3 Answers
Method to eliminate the tire pressure monitoring indicator on Volkswagen Magotan: First, turn on the ignition switch, then press and hold the tire pressure monitoring reset button until you hear a "dong" sound, then release it. The tire pressure monitoring system will store the current normal tire pressure data, automatically clear the original data, and finally, the warning light on the dashboard will turn off, completing the tire pressure reset. There are three commonly used tire pressure monitoring methods: Direct Tire Pressure Monitoring: The direct tire pressure monitoring device uses pressure sensors installed in each tire to directly measure the tire pressure. It uses a wireless transmitter to send the pressure information from inside the tire to a central receiver module, which then displays the tire pressure data for each tire. Indirect Tire Pressure Monitoring: When the pressure in a tire decreases, the vehicle's weight causes the rolling radius of that tire to become smaller, resulting in its rotation speed being faster than the other wheels. By comparing the differences in rotation speeds between the tires, the system monitors the tire pressure. Introduction to Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS): It combines the advantages of both the above systems, equipping direct sensors in two diagonally opposite tires and incorporating a 4-wheel indirect system.
Last time my tire pressure warning came on, I resolved it directly through the center console menu. First, shift to P gear and engage the handbrake for safety, then tap the CAR menu to enter vehicle settings and locate the tire options. There you'll find a tire pressure monitoring system setting - select 'Store Tire Pressure' to complete the reset. The key is to remember this must be done when the tires are cold. After driving a few kilometers, the system will update automatically. This method works best after tire replacements or inflation adjustments. Don't panic when the alert appears - 80% of cases are due to actual low pressure or weather-related fluctuations. The warning usually disappears after resetting and some driving.
You can directly cancel the alarm using the steering wheel buttons. Press the VIEW button on the left to enter the instrument cluster menu, locate the Service option, and then select Tire Settings. Follow the prompts to choose 'Set' and confirm to store the current tire pressure values. The entire process can be done without stopping the vehicle, but it's best to keep the speed below 20 km/h. After completion, remember to check if the actual tire pressure is sufficient—2.3 bar in summer and 2.5 bar in winter are ideal. If the alarm keeps recurring, suspect a puncture. Once, I reset it only for the light to come back on three days later, and sure enough, I found a screw embedded in the tire.
