Methods to reset the tire pressure light on a Kia K5: 1. Press the vehicle information button after starting the car; 2. Select the tire option in the vehicle settings menu on the display screen; 3. Click the "SET" button for the tire pressure monitoring option on the display; 4. Confirm on the display screen, and the tire pressure monitoring light will reset after "Tire Pressure Monitoring Initialization". The Kia K5 is a mid-to-high-end sedan under Dongfeng Yueda Kia, with body dimensions of 4845mm in length, 1835mm in width, 1455mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2795mm.
I just bought a Kia K5 not long ago and also encountered the tire pressure warning light issue. Don’t worry, it’s easy to fix: First, check all the tires to ensure they have enough pressure (the standard value is usually around 35 PSI, as indicated on the label by the door); then, start the car but don’t drive off; there’s a small button near the steering wheel or dashboard, usually marked with a TPMS icon or labeled "SET"; hold it down for about 5 seconds, and the light will flash or turn off. I tried it myself—initially, it didn’t work because the car wasn’t fully stopped, but after turning the engine off and restarting, it worked. Remember to get a reliable tire pressure gauge and check the pressure monthly to reduce warning light activations, drive safer, and save fuel. If the light stays on after resetting, there might be a puncture or a stone stuck in the tire—get it fixed to avoid a blowout later.
The tire pressure warning light is a safety alert that should never be ignored. Having driven a Kia K5 for several years, I'm quite familiar with handling this: First, inflate all four tires to the correct pressure (refer to the sticker on the door frame for the numbers); start the car and let the engine run; locate the reset button, usually found under the steering wheel or in the settings menu; press and hold the button until the light turns off. Some models require driving for a few minutes to warm up the system first. A crucial reminder: avoid high-speed driving when the light is on, as uneven tire pressure can lead to loss of control. Make it a routine to check tire pressure weekly and keep the valve stems clean to prevent dust blockage. Ignoring this issue accelerates tire wear and affects braking distance—address it promptly, safety always comes first.
