How to reset the tire pressure monitoring light on the 2021 XRV?

In the vehicle settings menu, select the tire settings option 'set' to reset the tire pressure monitoring light. Below is relevant information: 1. There are two types of tire pressure monitoring systems: one is the indirect tire pressure monitoring system, which determines tire abnormalities by detecting differences in tire rotation speed; the other is the direct tire pressure monitoring system, which involves installing four tire pressure monitoring sensors inside the tires to automatically monitor tire pressure and temperature in real time, whether the vehicle is stationary or in motion. 2. Precautions: When tire pressure is too high, it reduces the contact area between the tire and the ground, increasing the pressure the tire bears and affecting the tire's grip.
I remember when the tire pressure warning light came on in my 2021 XR-V, I was quite nervous because I didn't know what to do. I checked the owner's manual, which said to first ensure all tire pressures were normal, usually with recommended values on the label by the driver's door, like 32 psi for the front tires and 30 psi for the rear. So I used a tire pressure gauge to check and adjust each tire one by one, then started the engine with the key but didn't drive off. I found the settings menu on the center screen, selected 'Vehicle,' then located the 'Tire Pressure Calibration' option and confirmed. After waiting a few minutes for the system to relearn, the light went off. The whole process took about 20 minutes. I think the key is to check tire pressure regularly to avoid false alarms from leaks or temperature changes, otherwise fuel consumption might increase or there could be a risk of a blowout. Last time, I forgot to top up the air, which caused this issue, so now I check once a month to avoid the light coming on and affecting my driving mood.
When my son was driving my 2021 XR-V, the tire pressure warning light came on, so I taught him step-by-step how to reset it. First, park the car and check if the tires are intact with no nails or leaks. Adjust the tire pressure accurately to the standard values specified in the user manual—slightly higher in winter is better. Then, start the car and let it idle. Navigate to the system settings using the buttons on the left side of the steering wheel, select the tire pressure monitoring calibration, and follow the prompts to confirm. If it doesn’t work, try restarting the car. I’ve noticed the light often comes on due to unstable tire pressure or rough road conditions. After resetting, drive for a few minutes to let the sensors adapt. For safety, I recommend checking the tire pressure gauge before each trip and keeping a portable car air pump handy for quick adjustments, as improper tire pressure can lead to uneven tire wear or even accidents.
