How to Deal with the Continuously Illuminated Tire Pressure Monitoring Light on Lavida?
2 Answers
Turn on the ignition switch, press and hold the SET button of the tire inflation pressure control system until the dashboard indicator light comes on. Wait for the system to confirm the storage of new parameters, and the tire pressure monitoring light will automatically turn off, completing the reset. Below are the specific methods to eliminate the tire pressure monitoring light: 1. First, turn off the engine, then turn on the power for vehicle self-inspection. Press and hold the tire pressure monitoring button on the right front side of the gear shift lever for about three seconds until you hear a "ding" sound. Release the button to eliminate the tire pressure warning light on the dashboard. 2. If the light cannot be eliminated, visit a Volkswagen after-sales service center. Have the staff check the tire pressure and related systems such as sensors. After confirming there are no faults, use a specialized decoder to clear the tire pressure warning light on the vehicle.
I've been driving for over a decade and have encountered the tire pressure warning light issue on my Lavida several times. Generally speaking, low tire pressure is the most common cause. The air tends to shrink in cold weather or after long-distance driving. After parking, quickly find a service area to check the pressure of all four tires using a 10-yuan tire pressure gauge. The standard tire pressure value for Lavida is posted on the door side. Just top up the air if needed. However, if the light remains on, it might be a sensor malfunction or system false alarm, requiring calibration with professional tools at a 4S shop. I make it a habit to check tire pressure monthly - it makes driving smoother and more fuel-efficient, otherwise tires wear out faster costing more money. Unstable tire pressure on highways increases the risk of blowouts, posing serious safety hazards - never overlook this. Don't panic when the light comes on; first pull over safely then handle it. Roadside repair shops can also provide reliable solutions.
