How to Reset the Tire Pressure Monitoring Light?
2 Answers
The method to reset the tire pressure monitoring light is as follows: 1. Locate and press the instrument information switch button on the multifunction steering wheel; 2. The tire pressure information of the car will then appear on the dashboard. If the tire pressure is abnormal, a tire pressure warning will also appear here. Then, press the RES button on the multifunction steering wheel; 3. Switch to the tire pressure monitoring setup interface and click the reset button to complete the tire pressure monitoring reset. The standard tire pressure is approximately between 2.2 to 2.6 bar. Excessively high tire pressure can increase tire wear and may even lead to a blowout, while excessively low tire pressure can increase fuel consumption and make the vehicle feel bumpy. Generally, tire pressure can be slightly lower in summer and slightly higher in winter.
Last time I was driving, the tire pressure monitoring light suddenly came on, which gave me a real scare. I quickly got out to check each tire and found that the right rear wheel was indeed a few PSI low. After inflating it, I got back in the car, turned the key to the ON position without starting the engine, and then found a small button labeled TPMS near the glove compartment on the passenger side. Holding it down for about five seconds made the light go off. The reset button location may vary by car—some are under the steering wheel or in the infotainment menu—so checking the manual is helpful. If the light stays on after resetting, the sensor might be faulty and need repair. I usually recommend keeping the tire pressure at the standard value, around 36 PSI, to avoid false alarms and ensure safety. Don’t wait until something happens on the road to regret it. Remember, a simple DIY fix can save money and give peace of mind.
