How to reset the tire pressure light on a 2009 Lavida?

Tire pressure monitoring indicator is a yellow symbol, an irregular circle with no seal on top, four small spikes at the bottom, and an exclamation mark inside. The illumination of the tire pressure monitoring indicator indicates abnormal tire pressure. Abnormal tire pressure is generally caused by the following reasons: Abnormal tire pressure: Usually, an alarm will sound if the pressure is below 1.8 bar or above 3.0 bar. In this case, tire inspection and pressure adjustment are required. Tire pressure monitoring not reset: After inflating the tires, if the tire pressure is not reset in time, the tire pressure monitoring system will still record the previous data, causing the tire pressure monitoring indicator to light up. In this case, simply perform a tire pressure reset. Damaged tire pressure sensor: The tire pressure sensor is used to monitor tire pressure and is directly installed inside the tire, connected to the tire inflation port. If the tire pressure sensor is damaged during driving, it will also cause the tire pressure warning light to illuminate. For sensor damage issues, only a replacement with a new part is possible.
Had a persistent tire pressure light issue with my 2009 Lavida, tried fixing it myself multiple times. This usually stems from uneven tire pressure or sensor malfunction. First step is checking all tires' pressure (including spare), inflate to the manual-recommended 220-240 kPa when cold. If normal, hold the dashboard reset button for 20+ seconds. If that fails, likely sensor battery depletion - decade-old cars often need replacements (300-500 RMB per sensor). Also consider post-inflation calibration: drive slowly for system to recalibrate. Faulty sensors are common; workshops diagnose quickly. Safety first - driving with warning lights affects stability. Address it early to save cost and hassle.
