How to reset the tire pressure monitoring light on the Outlander?
3 Answers
Method to reset the Outlander's tire pressure monitoring light: First, inflate the tires to the normal pressure range, start the engine, use the control buttons on the left side of the steering wheel to navigate the onboard computer, find the tire option, click to enter, and then press and hold the onboard computer control button on the left control panel to reset. The Outlander is one of the few models in the SUV market that offers a 7-seat version. The Outlander features a MacPherson strut front suspension and a multi-link independent rear suspension, which are typical sedan suspension systems designed with a focus on ride comfort. In terms of body dimensions, the Outlander measures 4705mm in length, 1810mm in width, and 1680mm in height.
I've been driving the Outlander for several years, and the tire pressure monitoring light can be quite annoying when it comes on, but it's not a big deal. The usual causes are either insufficient or excessive tire pressure, such as pressure drops in cold weather. First, make sure all tire pressures are within the normal range, typically listed on the door label—usually around 2.3 to 2.5 BAR. If the light stays on after adjusting the pressure, try manually resetting it: after starting the car, locate the settings button near the steering wheel, press it a few times to enter the dashboard menu, select the tire pressure monitoring system, and confirm the recalibration. Drive on the highway for about ten minutes, and the light usually turns off by itself. If it still doesn’t go off, there might be an issue with the sensor, and you’ll need to visit a 4S shop for inspection. Remember, tire pressure is crucial—not just for the light but also to prevent blowouts and save fuel. I make it a habit to check the tire pressure monthly.
As someone who frequently tinkers with cars, I have some experience with this tire pressure warning light. The Outlander's system is sensitive and alerts at the slightest pressure change. The key to turning off the light is the reset operation: park the car, start the ignition without moving; then look at the dashboard, when the TPMS icon flashes, use the steering wheel control lever to enter the settings menu; select vehicle information and then the tire pressure system, press confirm to reset. If the pressure is normal, it will calibrate during driving. I recommend first using a tire pressure gauge to check each wheel, ensuring the values are consistent to avoid false alarms. Occasionally, sensor battery depletion or interference can also cause issues—if resetting doesn’t work, a visit to the shop for replacement parts is needed. Maintaining these small components can extend your car’s lifespan and give you peace of mind while driving.
