How to reset the tire pressure light on a Volkswagen?
2 Answers
To reset the Volkswagen tire pressure light, first adjust the tire pressure to the normal state, then start the ignition switch, and press and hold the tire pressure monitoring reset button. After hearing a "ding" sound, you can release the button, and the tire pressure monitoring system will store the current normal tire pressure data. It will then automatically clear the previous data, and the tire pressure light will be reset.
Don't panic when the tire pressure light comes on, I had the same issue last month. First, park the car and engage the handbrake to ensure safety. Then, turn the key to the ACC position without starting the engine, and look for the screen on the center console. The menu may vary depending on the Volkswagen model, but generally, you can find the tire pressure monitoring system under settings or vehicle information. Just select reset or calibration and confirm to complete the process. Before resetting, make sure to check all tire pressures with a gauge to the standard values, usually listed on the label by the door. Otherwise, the light might come back on to remind you. After driving for a while, the system will automatically learn and return to normal. Checking tire pressure during regular maintenance is a hassle-free habit.
