Method to reset the tire pressure monitoring light on the New Lavida: After changing the tire inflation pressure or replacing the wheels, a reset is required to clear the warning light. Turn on the ignition, press and hold the SET button of the tire pressure control system (located on the black button panel in front of the gear lever) until the dashboard indicator light comes on. Confirm that the new parameters are stored, and the light will turn off, completing the tire pressure reset. The New Lavida measures 4605 mm in length, 1765 mm in width, and 1460 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2610 mm. The New Lavida features a new family front design, with slender headlights connected to the grille, presenting a more stable and moderate styling. Depending on the configuration, the New Lavida offers three grille designs: the Comfort version adds vertical decorations similar to the current Passat, while the Luxury version features a dual chrome bar design for a more premium look.
I've been driving the new Lavida for many years. The most direct way to deal with the tire pressure warning light is to first pull over and find a place to measure the tire pressure with a tire pressure gauge to see if it's too low or too high. The recommended values are written on the label on the door frame, usually between 2.2-2.5 bar. If everything is normal, it might be a false alarm. Turn on the ignition without starting the engine, find the settings menu on the dashboard, select the tire pressure reset option, and confirm. If the light is still on, you need to check if there's an issue with the sensor, such as a dead battery or loose connection causing signal loss. In this case, don't force it and drive to a nearby auto repair shop to have a mechanic check it with a diagnostic tool. Regularly checking tire pressure can save fuel and prevent blowouts. It's recommended to manually check at least once a month, especially during seasonal changes when pressure fluctuations are more likely to cause issues. Don't underestimate this light—it's a safety reminder that shouldn't be ignored.
