How to Reset the Tire Pressure Light on a Ford Escape?

Press the setting button on the left side of the multifunction steering wheel, navigate to the tire pressure monitoring system in the settings menu, then long-press the setting button and save the tire pressure to reset the tire pressure warning light. Below is more information about automotive tire pressure: 1. Tire pressure is crucial for driving stability - it should neither be too high nor too low. 2. Overinflated tires reduce the contact area with the road surface, decreasing traction and negatively affecting vehicle handling and stability. 3. Underinflated tires may develop wave-like deformation during high-speed driving, which shortens tire lifespan and increases the risk of blowouts.
I've been driving a Ford Kuga for several years, and encountering the tire pressure light is a common occurrence. This usually indicates an issue with tire pressure, so the first step is to check if all four tires' pressure is within the 32-35 PSI range. If the tire pressure is normal but the light remains on, a manual reset is needed. Start the engine without driving, locate the settings button either below the steering wheel or on the dashboard, navigate to the menu, and find the 'Tire Pressure Monitoring Reset' option. Select it and wait for the system to calibrate itself; the light should turn off after driving for a few minutes. Never ignore this light, as unstable tire pressure can severely damage your tires and increase fuel consumption. Last time I forgot to reset it, I later discovered a small stone stuck in the valve stem—once removed, everything returned to normal. Properly adjusted tire pressure also enhances comfort and reduces bumpiness.
