How to Reset the Tire Pressure Light on a Magotan?
3 Answers
The method to reset the tire pressure monitoring light on a Magotan is as follows: After addressing the tire pressure issue, first turn on the ignition switch, then press and hold the tire pressure monitoring reset button until you hear a "beep" sound before releasing it. The tire pressure monitoring system will then store the current normal tire pressure data, automatically clear the previous data, and finally, the warning light on the dashboard will turn off, completing the tire pressure reset. Tire pressure monitoring involves real-time automatic monitoring of tire pressure during vehicle operation, alerting the driver to tire leaks or low pressure to ensure driving safety. There are three common methods of tire pressure monitoring: Direct Tire Pressure Monitoring: This system uses pressure sensors installed in each tire to directly measure tire pressure. The pressure information is transmitted wirelessly from inside the tire to a central receiver module, which then displays the tire pressure data for each tire. The system automatically alerts the driver if the tire pressure is too low or if there is a leak. Indirect Tire Pressure Monitoring: When the pressure in a tire decreases, the vehicle's weight causes the rolling radius of that tire to become smaller, making it rotate faster than the other wheels. By comparing the differences in rotational speed between the tires, the system monitors tire pressure. Indirect tire pressure monitoring systems essentially rely on calculating the rolling radius of the tires to monitor pressure. Introduction to Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS): This system combines the advantages of both direct and indirect systems. It is equipped with direct sensors in two diagonally opposite tires and an indirect system for all four wheels. Compared to a fully direct system, this hybrid system reduces costs and overcomes the limitation of indirect systems, which cannot detect when multiple tires simultaneously have low pressure. However, it still cannot provide real-time pressure data for all four tires as a fully direct system can.
After driving for so many years, I've gained experience in dealing with the Magotan tire pressure light. The most common method is to first ensure all four tires have normal pressure, then start the vehicle and find the vehicle settings option on the center console screen. Select the tire section, where there's a tire pressure monitoring reset function. Remember to keep the car stationary during operation - after clicking confirm, the system will relearn the current tire pressure values. If the reset is successful, the light will turn off by itself. It's good practice to use a tire pressure gauge to check the pressure monthly, maintaining 2.3-2.5 bar when the tires are cold is most appropriate, as this reduces false alarms. Be especially thorough with checks before long trips, as abnormal tire pressure can be very dangerous.
Last time my tire pressure light came on and it took me a while to figure out the key was finding the correct reset procedure. For the Magotan, it depends on the specific model year - older versions require accessing the dashboard menu by pressing the CAR button on the right side of the steering wheel to enter settings, while newer models need to use the central control screen to access vehicle settings. The reset process requires holding down the OK button for about three seconds, during which you shouldn't press the brake. After resetting, drive two or three kilometers to let the system re-recognize. A reminder: if the reset fails, it might indicate actual air leakage or a faulty sensor, requiring professional shop inspection.
