How to Reset the Tire Pressure Light?
3 Answers
To reset the tire pressure light, follow these methods: 1. Reset the fault light; 2. Press and hold the SET button with the tire pressure gauge symbol located on the right front of the gear lever for an extended period; 3. Hold down the tire pressure monitoring button until the light turns off; 4. Use the multifunction steering wheel settings; 5. Utilize a computer diagnostic tool for reset and clearance; 6. With the ignition switch turned on, press and hold the button located at the upper left corner inside the passenger-side glove compartment until the tire pressure light extinguishes. The effects of excessively high or low tire pressure are: 1. Overinflated tires increase friction with the ground, reduce tire adhesion, impair braking performance and driving comfort, accelerate wear on the central tread, and shorten tire lifespan; 2. Underinflated tires increase the contact area with the ground, causing the tires to overheat, expand the tire body, and develop cracks on the inner and outer sides, accelerating rubber aging and tire wear.
I've been driving for over a decade and have encountered the tire pressure warning light coming on quite a few times. The most common reason is low pressure in one of the tires. I checked with a tire pressure gauge and sure enough, the right rear tire was low. After inflating it to the standard value listed on the door frame sticker, I started the car, found the reset button in the menu near the steering wheel, and pressed it to turn off the light. If there's no button, driving a few kilometers to let it adapt automatically also works. If the light remains on, it might be due to a dead sensor or a leak, and you should visit a repair shop. Remember to check tire pressure regularly; don't wait until the light comes on. Low tire pressure increases fuel consumption and the risk of a blowout. I always check before long trips to ensure safety and peace of mind.
I panicked when I saw the tire pressure light while driving, fearing a flat tire. After checking online, I realized it was a tire pressure issue and went to a gas station to use an air pump to check and inflate the tires to the standard value. Then, with the car running, I pressed the reset button on the dashboard or selected the tire pressure calibration option in the central control screen menu. I tried it once, and the light went off. If that doesn't work, driving on the highway for about ten minutes might automatically reset it. It's recommended to keep a portable tire pressure gauge in the car and check the tire pressure once a month to prevent small issues from turning into big troubles.
