How to reset the tire pressure light on a 2011 K5?
2 Answers
The method to reset the tire pressure light on a 2011 K5 is: try to adjust the tire pressure of all four tires to the same level, then start the vehicle. The reasons for the tire pressure light to illuminate are: 1. The car tire is punctured; 2. The car has been driven with low tire pressure for too long; 3. The car tire pressure is too high. The dimensions of the 2011 K5 are 4845mm in length, 1830mm in width, and 1460mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2795mm. It is equipped with a 6-speed manual transmission and has a top speed of 210 km/h. The car's maximum horsepower is 165 hp, with a front suspension of MacPherson independent suspension and a rear suspension of multi-link independent suspension. The tire specification is 205/65R16.
I have an 11-year-old Kia K5, and the tire pressure light suddenly came on, which really worried me. I remember first checking if all tire pressures were normal—the standard values are listed on the door frame label, usually around 230 kPa. If the pressure is too low or too high, inflating the tires might automatically turn off the light. But if the pressure is normal and the light is still on, look for the reset button, usually located under the steering wheel or inside the glove compartment. Follow the manual instructions: park the car, turn the key to the ON position without starting the engine, then press and hold the button for 3-5 seconds, and the light should go off. The process is pretty simple—don’t panic like I did. Just make sure there are no leaks or damage to the tires, otherwise, the light will come back on after resetting. Tires are the foundation of driving safety, so checking the pressure once a month can prevent this from happening.
