2 Answers
2018 Sportage tire pressure reset method is: 1. Turn the key to the second gear position; 2. Press the menu button on the left side of the steering wheel, and the instrument panel will display the mileage interface; 3. Press the up button on the left side of the steering wheel, and the instrument panel will display "Tire Pressure Reactivation"; 4. Press the R button on the instrument panel, then press the plus button, wait for 10 seconds and turn off the key; 5. Start the vehicle to complete the reset. Taking the 2018 Sportage Automatic Luxury Edition as an example, it belongs to a compact SUV with body dimensions of 4460mm in length, 1850mm in width, 1695mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2640mm.
I frequently reset the tire pressure on my 2018 Kia Sportage, and the process is quite simple. First, ensure all tire pressures are adjusted to the standard values, typically listed on the driver's side door frame label as 2.2-2.4 bar for cold tires. Then, turn the key to the ignition position without starting the engine. Use the buttons on the right side of the steering wheel or the navigation keys on the center console to access the vehicle settings menu, locate the tire pressure system, and select the reset option to confirm. This step resets the sensors to avoid false alarms. After resetting, drive for 5-10 minutes to allow the system to automatically calibrate the new values. I check the tire pressure monthly to ensure balance and prevent uneven wear and safety risks. Additionally, tire pressure fluctuates with seasonal changes, so always manually adjust the pressure before resetting for it to be effective.
