How to Reset the Golf Tire Pressure Warning Light?
2 Answers
Golf's tire pressure reset button is located on the gear lever panel. Press and hold the SET button on the gear lever for 3-5 seconds until you hear a beep, indicating the tire pressure reset is complete. The tire pressure warning light on the dashboard will then disappear. Below are the reasons and solutions for the Golf tire pressure warning light: 1. Insufficient tire pressure, which could be due to natural loss, a punctured tire, or a leaking valve. It is recommended to promptly visit a tire repair shop to check the tires and adjust the pressure to the standard value (the standard value is marked on the inside of the fuel tank cap). 2. Overinflated tires are usually caused by excessive air filling. Always inflate the tires strictly according to the manufacturer's specified pressure. After adjusting the tire pressure to the standard value, press and hold the tire pressure reset button (SET button), located on the panel next to the gear lever, for 3 seconds until you hear a beep to complete the reset. The tire pressure warning light on the dashboard will then disappear.
Based on my years of driving experience, I'd like to share that the common reasons for the Golf's tire pressure warning light coming on are either low tire pressure or a sensor malfunction. The solution to reset it is quite simple. First, don't rush to drive; find a safe place to park, turn off the engine and restart it, but don't move. Operate the steering wheel buttons: press the menu button to enter the central control settings, find the tire pressure monitoring option, select the reset prompt, and then hold the confirm button for a few seconds to complete the process. The key is to adjust the tire pressure to the standard value before resetting, and don't skip checking for convenience. If the light goes off and comes back on or doesn't turn off at all, the sensor might be damaged, and you'll need to visit a professional shop for repairs. I've personally encountered false alarms due to uneven tire pressure, so I now check the tire pressure monthly to prevent issues. Remember, this car is for family use, so safety comes first—avoid distractions while operating to prevent accidents.
