Eliminating the tire pressure warning light involves the following steps: 1. Ensure the vehicle's tire pressure is within the normal range; 2. Park the vehicle on a flat surface and turn off the engine; 3. Power on the vehicle, press and hold the tire pressure monitoring button for 5 seconds until you hear an alarm sound, then release the button to successfully eliminate the warning. The functions of the tire pressure monitoring system include: 1. Alerting promptly in case of rapid or slow air leakage when the tire is punctured; 2. Warning when tire loosening causes unbalanced friction, leading to high tire temperatures reaching 70 degrees Celsius to prevent blowouts; 3. Alerting when the tire pressure is below the vehicle's set limit due to prolonged lack of inflation, preventing low pressure from causing tire temperature rise and blowouts.

I was also confused when I first encountered this issue, so I talked to a friend. He advised me to first park in a safe place and use a portable tire pressure gauge to check the pressure of each tire—usually 32 PSI for the front tires and 30 PSI for the rear tires, as indicated on the label by the door. If the pressure is low, quickly go to a gas station or buy a pump at home to inflate them to the standard level. After inflating, you also need to reset the system: in my car, there's a button under the steering wheel; press it for a few seconds and the light will go off. Actually, significant temperature changes can affect tire pressure. For example, living in the north, this often happens in winter, so developing a habit of checking monthly is definitely a good idea.

Every time the tire pressure warning light comes on, I handle it with utmost caution since it's a safety issue that can't be delayed. First, I park the car properly and carefully measure the pressure of all tires, including the spare, to see if the readings are within the recommended range (which varies by vehicle model). If the pressure is low, I inflate them to the standard value, then locate the reset button—mine is on the dashboard—hold it down until the warning light flashes and disappears. Being diligent with regular checks and avoiding rough roads can minimize air leaks, preventing the annoying frequent illumination of the warning light.

As soon as the light came on, I went straight to the repair shop. The mechanic quickly suggested: first check the tire pressure and inflate if it's low, then press the reset button to finish. For my old car, the button is near the glove box—just hold it for ten seconds. Occasionally, it's caused by cold weather. Installing a tire pressure monitoring app makes daily checks much easier.
