How to remove the tire pressure warning icon on Volkswagen vehicles?

Here are the methods to reset the Volkswagen tire pressure warning light: 1. Visit a Volkswagen after-sales service center and have technicians diagnose and clear the fault code using the vehicle's computer system; 2. Press and hold the tire pressure monitoring button located in front of the gearshift lever (right side) for three seconds to reset the warning light; 3. Adjust tire pressure to normal levels, locate the tire pressure setting button, hold it while starting the ignition, wait for a beep sound before releasing - this will clear the warning light. The tire pressure warning light may illuminate due to: excessively low tire pressure, structural tire damage, or excessive wheel load on the axle causing pressure changes.

I was also quite panicked when I encountered this tire pressure warning on the highway last time. Actually, the solution is very simple: first, park the car in a safe place and measure the pressure of all four tires, then inflate them according to the standard values on the label on the driver's side B-pillar. For newer Volkswagen models, you can find the 'Tire Pressure Monitoring' option in the infotainment screen menu and follow the prompts to save the new tire pressure data. For older models, you need to locate the physical 'SET' button on the dashboard and press and hold it for 5 seconds with the engine off. If the dashboard icon turns yellow, it indicates a slow leak, and you should go to a tire repair shop for inspection. Later, I kept an electric air pump in the glove box, which is super convenient. Checking the tire pressure every month can prevent this situation. It's especially important to check tire pressure before driving on the highway—safety first, after all.

Both of my Volkswagens have encountered this issue, and I usually solve it in three steps: First, find a safe place to park, use the digital tire pressure gauge from the trunk to check, and adjust all four tires to the standard value of 2.5 bar. Then, turn on the ignition but don’t start the engine. For newer models, simply select 'Vehicle Settings' - 'Tire Pressure' - 'Reset' in the infotainment system. For older Passats, you’ll need to find the button with an exclamation mark inside the glove box on the passenger side. Remember to drive about five kilometers after refilling the tires to let the system relearn. If the light stays on after resetting, consider that the sensor might be faulty—I spent 300 yuan last time to replace one.
