Methods to reset the tire pressure light on the new Sagitar: 1. Start the vehicle, turn on the central control screen, and press the CAR button; 2. Find the tire option in the central control screen and click to enter; 3. Select SET to proceed to the next step of settings; 4. Press the confirm button; 5. Click on the tire pressure monitoring initialization to reset. The new Sagitar is a 4-door, 5-seater compact sedan with exterior dimensions of 4753 mm in length, 1800 mm in width, and 1462 mm in height, a wheelbase of 2731 mm, a fuel tank capacity of 50 liters, a trunk capacity of 553 liters, and a curb weight of 1410 kg. It is equipped with a 1.2T turbocharged engine.

Last time during maintenance, the technician taught me how to reset the tire pressure on the Sagitar. Simply put, it's a three-step process. First, check the tire pressure of all four tires—ensure they are at 2.5bar when cold (refer to the fuel cap label for specifics). Then, start the engine but don't drive. For the new Sagitar models, locate the touch-sensitive area on the left side of the steering wheel, press CAR to enter the vehicle settings menu. On the screen, find 'Settings' → 'Tires' → 'Tire Pressure Monitoring System', and select 'Store Tire Pressure' to confirm. For older models with physical buttons, simply press and hold the SET button with an exclamation mark near the gear lever for 5 seconds until you hear a beep and the dashboard light goes off. Note that after resetting, you need to drive at a constant speed for about 10 minutes to let the system relearn—flashing of the tire pressure light is normal during this time. If the light keeps coming on, check for punctures or a faulty sensor—last time my car had this issue, it was due to a dead battery in the tire pressure sensor.

Actually, the operation varies slightly across different model years of the Sagitar. For my 2022 model, there's a small exclamation mark tire pressure button next to the electronic handbrake. With the engine running and in P gear, press and hold this button. The dashboard warning light will flash, turning yellow after about five seconds before extinguishing. Release the button upon hearing the confirmation beep to complete the reset. Once on the highway, the light suddenly illuminated, and the emergency workaround was to restart the engine for a system self-check. Newer models equipped with active tire pressure monitoring require driving about two kilometers to let the computer recalibrate wheel speed signals. Additionally, significant temperature fluctuations may trigger false alarms—lights often activate in winter when exiting warm underground garages into cold air.

Turning off the TPMS light on the Sagitar isn't actually difficult - the key is resetting the parameters in the vehicle's computer. First, park and turn off the engine but don't remove the key, just power on the electronics. For newer models, it's more convenient to operate via the central touchscreen: tap the menu button in the lower left corner, find the vehicle settings icon, then select the SET button in the tire options. Owners of older models need to use steering wheel buttons to access the instrument cluster menu and locate the "store tire pressure" option in the vehicle computer. If you can't manage it yourself, a 20-second long press of the start button to force restart the infotainment system can serve as an emergency solution. Practical tests show higher success rates when increasing tire pressure by 0.2 bar before resetting during summer, though for frequent off-road driving, it's recommended to get sensor calibration at the dealership every six months.
