How to reset the tire pressure monitoring light on a 2018 Magotan?
2 Answers
There is a tire pressure reset switch on the side of the gear lever. With the ignition switch turned on, press and hold this switch button until you hear a beep, indicating the reset is complete. When the tire pressure of the car is abnormal, the tire pressure monitoring light on the dashboard will illuminate, at which point it is important to check the tires. Additional information about the tire pressure light is as follows: 1. If the tire pressure light comes on while driving, it is necessary to reduce speed, control the steering wheel, and find a safe place to conduct an inspection. 2. Other reasons that may cause the tire pressure monitoring light to come on include a leaking valve stem, the car being idle for too long, or external temperature influences. 3. If the tire pressure light comes on, you can first turn off the engine, wait 1-2 minutes, then restart the vehicle. Wait for the vehicle to stabilize and check the tire pressure values displayed on the dashboard.
When I first drove my 2018 Magotan, I also encountered the tire pressure monitoring light coming on, which really gave me a scare, thinking I had a flat tire. It turned out the pressure was fine but the system was overly sensitive, triggering a false alarm due to a sudden temperature drop. The specific way to clear it is: First, park and check the pressure of all tires, including the spare, inflating them to the recommended value of around 2.5 bar (you can find this on the label inside the door). Then start the car, enter the multifunction menu on the steering wheel, switch to the settings option, find "Tire Pressure Monitoring," press the OK button to enter, select "Reset," hold for a few seconds, and the light will go off. These minor issues are common but not hard to fix. Regularly checking tire pressure with a gauge once a month and avoiding rough roads can reduce how often the light comes on and extend the sensor's lifespan. Remember, the engine must be running when resetting, otherwise the operation won't work.
