How to Change Tires on a Car with Tire Pressure Monitoring System?

Method for changing tires on a car with tire pressure monitoring system: Power on the car without starting the engine, simultaneously press the lock and unlock buttons on the remote control for 5 seconds until you hear two beeps from the car. Reset the left front tire: Unscrew the valve cap on the tire, continuously deflate the tire until you hear one beep from the car, indicating the left front tire is reset. Repeat the process for the remaining tires, then inflate them to complete the tire change. Car tires are one of the essential components of a vehicle, directly contacting the road surface and working together with the car's suspension to absorb shocks during driving, ensuring good ride comfort and smooth driving performance. They also ensure excellent adhesion between the wheels and the road surface, improving the car's traction, braking, and off-road capabilities.
When changing tires on a vehicle with TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System), extra caution is needed to avoid damaging the sensors. First, I'll find a flat and safe spot to park, engage the parking brake, and place warning triangles. Before jacking up the car, ensure the ground is stable and position the jack correctly at designated lift points. When removing the old tire, gently loosen the bolts without touching the valve stem where the sensor is housed. During new tire installation, carefully align it with the rim position to avoid impacts that could damage the sensor system. After installation, tighten the lug nuts properly and adjust tire pressure to the manufacturer's recommended range (typically 30-35 psi). The TPMS warning light may illuminate temporarily as the system requires resetting - either via a button near the steering wheel or by driving a few kilometers for automatic calibration. Avoid changing tires on uneven surfaces where vehicle movement could harm sensors. Regular inspection of the entire process helps prevent accidents, though professional shops with specialized tools can complete the job more efficiently.
