First, after completing the tire repair and installation, it is essential to ensure that the air pressure in all four tires is uniform. If the pressures are not uniform, resetting the tire pressure indicator light will not be successful. Then, press and hold the MENU button on the combination switch to access the main menu. Select 'TYPE-PRESS,' which is referred to as 'Tire Pressure' in Chinese, and press the OK button. Next, choose 'Settings' and press the OK button to proceed to the next step. After entering the next step, select the 'Tire' option and press the OK button. Proceed by selecting 'Spare Tire' and pressing the OK button. Then, choose 'Sealing-set,' known as 'Tire Settings' in Chinese. At this point, the dashboard will prompt whether to proceed with the tire repair setting. Select 'YES,' and once the setting is successful, the tire pressure indicator light will turn off.
Last time the tire pressure light came on in my 2017 Cayenne, I followed my experience to troubleshoot step by step. First, you need to adjust all tire pressures to the standard values, referring to the numbers on the door frame sticker—typically around 36 psi for the front tires and 40 psi for the rear tires. Use a manual tire pressure gauge to double-check for accuracy. Then, start the engine but don't drive, navigate to the vehicle settings menu on the center console screen, find the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) option, and select 'Reset' or 'Store Current Pressure.' The system will prompt you to drive for a few minutes to allow data calibration. The light should go off quickly, but keep in mind that it could indicate slow leaks or sensor issues—always inspect tires for punctures before proceeding, safety first. Developing good tire pressure maintenance habits extends tire life and improves fuel efficiency.
I've been in this industry for over a decade, and customers often ask how to reset the tire pressure light on a Cayenne. Simply put: First, make sure the tire pressure is correct and properly inflated. Then, turn on the ignition, go to the central control screen, select the vehicle service menu, and click the tire pressure reset button. Drive around for a few minutes, and the light will turn off automatically. If the light keeps coming back on, be cautious of potential sensor issues or slow leaks—don't ignore it to avoid getting stranded. Always keep a portable air pump handy for emergencies. The light triggers even with just a 1-2 psi difference, so address it promptly to prevent rapid tire wear. Safety on the highway is paramount.
When I first bought a used Cayenne, I didn't know how to reset the tire pressure light either. The actual operation is quite simple: inflate all tires to the recommended value on the door sticker, such as around 36 PSI; then, select 'Vehicle Settings' on the center console screen, enter the tire pressure section, and reset the system; drive around for a short distance and the light will turn off. Remember not to ignore the warning light, always keep a tire pressure gauge handy and check the pressure regularly. Developing this habit makes driving more stable.
