How to reset the tire pressure light on a 2013 Besturn X80?

You need to adjust the tire pressure of all four tires to the normal range. Drive for a while (preferably at a faster speed), and the sensor will detect it and the light will disappear. Alternatively, you can only go to a 4S shop or a professional auto repair shop and ask the staff to help reset it.
Anyone who has driven my 2013 Besturn X80 knows how annoying it is when the tire pressure light comes on. As a long-time owner, I usually handle this situation myself. First, check the pressure of all tires with an inexpensive tire pressure gauge to ensure they meet the standard value, typically between 30-35 PSI (as indicated on the door frame). If the tire pressure is normal but the light remains on, a reset is needed. Get in the car, turn the key to the ON position without starting the engine. Then locate the reset button—on my car, it's on a small panel below the left side of the steering wheel, usually marked with a tire icon. Press and hold it for about 5 to 10 seconds while watching the dashboard; the tire pressure light will blink a few times and then turn off. If the light stays on after this, there might be a slow leak in one of the tires or a faulty sensor requiring repair. Always perform this procedure on level ground, and after resetting, take a short drive to confirm everything is working. To prevent frequent light issues, make it a habit to check tire pressure every two weeks.
I also drive a Besturn X80, purchased in 2013, and have encountered the tire pressure light issue several times. The solution is actually quite simple: Before getting in the car, use a tire pressure gauge to check if the pressure in each tire is consistent—add air if it's low and release some if it's too high. Make sure all tires meet the standard before getting in, then insert the key and turn it to the ON position without starting the engine. The reset button is usually located near the steering wheel or in a corner of the dashboard, depending on the model. Press and hold the button for a few seconds, and the tire pressure light will turn off. If it doesn’t work the first time, try repeating the process—sometimes the system needs time to recognize the adjustment. Keep the car interior quiet and avoid moving the steering wheel during the operation to prevent accidental inputs. From a safety perspective, uneven tire pressure can affect the car's stability, especially at high speeds. If the light keeps coming back on after resetting, it’s best to visit a 4S shop as soon as possible to check if there’s an issue with the sensors. Don’t underestimate this little light—it could save your life.
