How to reset the tire pressure monitoring light on the Hongqi H5?
3 Answers
The tire pressure monitoring warning light on the Hongqi H5 does not require manual reset. After adjusting the air pressure of all four tires to the standard level, drive normally for 2-3 kilometers and the light will reset automatically. There are generally three reasons for abnormal tire pressure alerts: Abnormal tire pressure: The system typically triggers an alert when pressure falls below 1.8 bar or exceeds 3.0 bar. In this case, tire inspection and pressure adjustment are required. Unreset tire pressure monitoring system: If the tire pressure monitoring system isn't reset after inflating the tires, it continues to display previously recorded data, causing the warning light to remain illuminated. Simply performing a tire pressure reset will resolve this issue. Damaged tire pressure sensor: The tire pressure sensor, installed inside the tire and connected to the inflation valve, monitors tire pressure. If the sensor is damaged during driving (e.g., by impact), it will trigger the warning light. In such cases, the only solution is to replace the damaged sensor with a new one.
Last time when I was driving the Hongqi H5, the tire pressure warning light came on and I was in a panic for quite a while before fixing it. The process is actually simple: first find a safe place to park without making sharp turns. Check each tire for nails or leaks. If you don’t have a tire pressure gauge, gas stations usually offer free checks—the standard pressure is around 2.3 bar (check the sticker on the door frame). If the pressure is low, inflate it; if it’s too high, release some air to reach the standard value. Then start the car, navigate to the settings menu on the dashboard, find the tire pressure monitoring reset option, and confirm. Drive on the highway for a few minutes, and the light should turn off automatically. If it stays on, visit a repair shop to check if the sensor is faulty. This issue can’t be ignored—it risks a tire blowout. Putting in a bit of effort now can save you big money later.
When the tire pressure warning light comes on while driving the Hongqi H5, I immediately become alert as driving safety is paramount—never risk accelerating. After safely pulling over and stopping, quickly check the tire condition. If there's no obvious damage, measure the tire pressure. Tire pressure tools are easy to buy, and I recommend carrying one with you. Adjust the pressure to the recommended value of around 2.3 bar. After inflating, drive the car and perform a reset operation in the vehicle control system—it's just a few simple clicks in the settings menu. If the light doesn't go off after driving for a while, check the sensors. Wheel speed issues are often overlooked and can damage tire lifespan and increase fuel consumption. I make it a habit to check tire pressure once a month as a preventive measure.
