How to Reset the GL8 Tire Pressure Light?
3 Answers
GL8 tire pressure light reset method: First, turn on the ignition switch, press and hold the tire pressure monitoring reset button until you hear a "beep" sound, then release it. The tire pressure monitoring system will store the current normal tire pressure data, automatically clear the previous data, and finally, the dashboard warning light will turn off, completing the tire pressure reset. Tire pressure monitoring is an automatic real-time monitoring of tire pressure during vehicle operation, alerting to tire leaks and low pressure to ensure driving safety. There are generally three reasons for abnormal tire pressure: Abnormal tire pressure: Typically, an alert will trigger if the pressure is below 1.8bar or above 3.0bar. In this case, tire inspection and pressure adjustment are necessary. Tire pressure monitoring not reset: After inflating the tires, if the tire pressure reset is not performed promptly, the system will still record the previous data, causing the tire pressure monitoring indicator to light up. Simply performing a tire pressure reset will resolve this issue. Damaged tire pressure sensor: The tire pressure sensor, which monitors tire pressure, is installed directly inside the tire and connected to the tire inflation valve. If the sensor is damaged due to impact while driving, the tire pressure warning light will also illuminate. For sensor damage, the only solution is to replace it with a new component.
I usually drive a GL8, and when the tire pressure light comes on, the first thing to do is to confirm the tire pressure. Use a pressure gauge to check each tire to the standard value. Reset steps: Sit in the car, turn the key to the 'ON' position without starting the engine, then use the buttons on the right side of the steering wheel to enter the menu, find the 'Vehicle Settings' or 'Tire Pressure Monitoring' option, select relearn or reset, hold the confirm button for a few seconds, then drive for a few minutes and the system will be calibrated. If the light is still on, it may be that the sensor battery is dead or there is a leak, so you need to go to a repair shop. After resetting, developing the habit of checking tire pressure weekly can reduce such problems and improve safety.
Don't panic when the tire pressure light comes on while driving a GL8 for school drop-offs. Resetting is simple: Park first, measure and inflate all tires evenly, turn the key to ON, use steering wheel buttons to access the dashboard menu, select 'Tire Pressure Reset' under 'Maintenance,' confirm, then drive briefly until the light goes off. Keep a tire pressure gauge in the car—if the light persists post-reset, it may indicate aged sensors or a punctured tire. Promptly consult a technician to avoid highway risks.
