How to reset the tire pressure monitor?
2 Answers
The method to reset the tire pressure monitor is as follows: You can turn on the instrument power and press and hold the reset button until the tire pressure warning light goes off; or press and hold the reset button again until the tire pressure warning light flashes three times and then goes off. The tire pressure reset button can be operated using the buttons on the multifunction steering wheel, storing the tire pressure status through the "Tire Pressure" option in the multifunction menu. The reasons for the tire pressure monitoring alarm may include: 1. Tire pressure monitoring alarm caused by a punctured tire, which leads to air leakage and requires tire repair. 2. Overinflated tires can also trigger the tire pressure monitoring alarm. 3. Driving for an extended period with low tire pressure. 4. Tire pressure monitoring alarm caused by prolonged lack of inflation leading to low tire pressure.
I drive quite a lot, and resetting the tire pressure monitor is actually quite simple. First, start the car and let the engine run, then look for the small button near the steering wheel or on the dashboard—usually with a tire icon. Press and hold it for 5-10 seconds until the tire pressure light goes off. If your car has a screen menu, go to the settings and select "Tire Pressure Reset" to confirm. Remember to do this when the tire pressure is normal—check it with a tire pressure gauge when the car is stationary, ensuring all four tires meet the standard values (usually listed on the door frame). After resetting, drive for a few minutes to let the system relearn. Once, I got startled when the warning light came on, but the pressure was fine—it was just a false alarm because I hadn’t reset it after changing tires. Now, I make it a habit to reset it after every maintenance or inflation. For safety, don’t ignore it; an unreset alarm might mislead you and cause distraction while driving. Check the manual, as methods vary slightly by model, for extra assurance.
