How to Reset the Tire Pressure Light on a 2018 Golf?
2 Answers
Tire pressure warning light illumination indicates that one or more of the vehicle's tires have low or high pressure. When the tire pressure monitoring system detects an abnormality, a warning message will appear on the display screen, and the tire pressure warning indicator light will illuminate. The Golf's tire pressure reset button is located on the gear lever panel. Press and hold the SET button on the gear lever for 3-5 seconds until you hear a beep, indicating the tire pressure reset is complete. The steps to reset the Golf's tire pressure light are as follows: 1. Turn on the ignition. 2. Press and hold the SET button on the gear lever until you hear a confirmation beep.
Last time I helped a friend deal with the tire pressure warning light on his 2018 Golf, it was actually quite simple. First, adjust the tire pressure of all four tires to the standard value (marked on the door frame or in the manual). The key is to operate with the engine running. Find the CAR button on the center console, click into it, select Settings - Tires - Tire Pressure Monitoring System. At this point, you'll see the option to store the tire pressure. Press and hold the confirm button for three seconds to successfully reset it. After completion, it's best to drive a few hundred meters to test. That time, I drove for about ten minutes on the ring road before the light went off. If it's still on, there might be a slow leak or a sensor issue, in which case you'll need to go to the shop for a computer diagnosis. Remember to check the tire pressure monthly with a mechanical gauge; this habit can reduce false alarms.
