How to Reset the Car Tire Pressure Warning Light?
2 Answers
Here are the methods to reset the tire pressure warning light: 1. Reset the warning light to turn it off. 2. Press and hold the SET button with the tire pressure symbol located at the far right front of the gear lever for a long time. If the tire pressure is normal, the warning light will turn off. 3. Press and hold the tire pressure monitoring button until the light goes off to reset it. Then press the tire pressure monitoring button again until the light comes on to complete the setup. 4. You can reset it through the settings on the multifunction steering wheel or use a computer diagnostic tool for reset. 5. Open the glove box on the passenger side, locate a button in the upper left corner (next to the passenger airbag key switch), and with the ignition on, press and hold the button until the tire pressure light turns off. However, ensure the tire pressure is within the normal range.
Every time my car displays that tire pressure warning light, I know it's time to check the tire pressure. First, I need to find the manufacturer's recommended value, usually listed on a label by the door with the PSI number—for my car, it's around 35. I'll find a gas station or use a home air pump to inflate each tire to the correct pressure. After driving for about 15 minutes, the warning light often goes off on its own. If it doesn't, I check the manual for the reset button, usually located under the steering wheel or on the dashboard, and hold it down for a few seconds until the light turns off. Don't ignore it, because low pressure not only wastes fuel but also damages tires, even risking a blowout. I make it a habit to check the pressure monthly, especially during seasonal changes when temperature fluctuations can affect it.
