How to Clear the Tire Pressure Warning on Lavida?
2 Answers
There are two methods to clear the tire pressure warning on Lavida: 1. Directly visit the Volkswagen Lavida after-sales service center and have the maintenance personnel diagnose the fault code and clear the error code using the vehicle's computer; 2. Press and hold the tire pressure monitoring button located on the right side in front of the gear shift lever for about three seconds to turn off the tire pressure warning light. The main functions of the tire pressure monitoring system: 1. Prevent accidents; 2. Extend tire service life; 3. Improve driving economy; 4. Reduce wear on the suspension system. The Lavida has a body length of 4608mm, width of 1743mm, height of 1465mm, a maximum trunk opening width of 1215mm, and a volume of 472L.
I just dealt with the tire pressure warning issue on the Lavida, which is actually quite simple but requires step-by-step procedures. First, park the car and turn off the engine, then turn on the ignition without starting the engine. Find the setup menu button on the dashboard, press it a few times to enter the vehicle information, and select the tire pressure monitoring system option. There's a reset function inside—confirm the warning to clear it. However, before resetting, make sure to check if all tire pressures are normal. For example, hot or cold conditions affect tire pressure, so measuring in the morning when the tires are cold is most accurate—generally around 2.3 bar for the front tires and 2.1 bar for the rear tires. Last time, I made a mistake by resetting when the tire pressure was too low, which caused the warning to reappear, and I had to waste time checking for leaks. If the warning persists after resetting, the sensor might be faulty, or there could be a slow leak in the tire—it’s best to visit a shop for inspection. I recommend using a tire pressure gauge to check monthly instead of relying solely on the system to prevent issues.
