How to Reset the Tire Pressure Monitoring Light on the Magotan
3 Answers
Method to reset the tire pressure monitoring light on the Magotan: There is a tire pressure reset switch on the side of the gear lever. With the ignition switch turned on, press and hold the reset button until you hear a beep, indicating the reset is complete. Reasons for the tire pressure monitoring light to illuminate on the Magotan: A punctured tire. Excessive tire pressure. Driving for too long with low tire pressure. Tire pressure dropping due to prolonged lack of inflation. Solutions for the tire pressure monitoring light illuminating on the Magotan: Drive slowly to a safe location and park, then turn off the engine. Wait for 2 minutes before restarting the vehicle. Once the vehicle is running stably, check the tire pressure values displayed on the dashboard. Insufficient or excessive tire pressure may trigger the tire pressure light. Drive slowly to a car repair shop or auto beauty shop to adjust the tire pressure. If you have a self-contained inflation device, you can adjust the tire pressure on the spot. While inflating or deflating the tires, observe the tire pressure light on the dashboard. Stop inflating once the light turns off. If overinflated, release the excess air.
The tire pressure monitoring light coming on is quite common in the Magotan, mostly caused by low tire pressure. I first recommend checking the actual pressure of all tires using a tire pressure gauge. The recommended values are usually posted on the driver's door frame or inside the fuel filler cap, typically between 2.2 to 2.5 bar. If the pressure is insufficient, use an air pump to inflate to the standard value. Sometimes the light may turn off automatically while driving. However, if it doesn't reset automatically, you'll need to manually reset the system: sit in the driver's seat, start the car, click the settings menu on the central control screen, enter the vehicle options, find the tire pressure monitoring calibration function, and click confirm. If the light remains on, there might be a nail puncture causing air leakage or a sensor malfunction. In this case, don't force driving and go directly to a professional repair shop to avoid safety hazards. It's best to develop a habit of checking tire pressure monthly. Proper tire pressure ensures more stable driving, better fuel efficiency, and extends tire lifespan.
The tire pressure warning light in my Magotan suddenly came on a few days ago, and I immediately knew it might be due to tire contraction in cold weather. I promptly pulled over, took out the tire pressure gauge from the trunk, and measured the pressure, finding that the left front tire was below the recommended value. I used a portable air pump to inflate all tires to 2.4 bar as indicated on the door frame label, then went to the central control settings, found the tire pressure calibration option, and pressed it—the light went off. If the system doesn't remember the new values, sometimes driving a short distance allows it to adjust intelligently. However, this time I learned a lesson: don’t be lazy—regularly checking tire pressure is crucial to avoid mid-trip issues that can ruin your mood. Also, remember that tire pressure changes significantly with temperature, so pay extra attention during seasonal transitions and don’t overlook minor leaks. If you really can’t fix it, take it to the 4S shop to check the sensors—it saves both money and hassle.
