How to reset the tire pressure monitoring light on Volkswagen Lavida?
2 Answers
Methods to reset the tire pressure monitoring light on Volkswagen Lavida are as follows: 1. For Lavida Plus, with the ignition switch on, briefly press the OK button repeatedly to select the tire pressure display and 'Tire Pressure' function. Hold for about 3 seconds until a beep is heard, and the tire pressure monitoring light will be deactivated. 2. After changing tire inflation pressure or replacing wheels, a reset is required to clear the warning light. Turn on the ignition switch, press and hold the SET button of the tire pressure control system (the black button located on the front panel near the gearshift lever) until the indicator light on the dashboard illuminates. Confirm that the new parameters are stored and the light goes off, indicating the tire pressure light reset is complete. 3. Press the black stalk on the dashboard and turn the ignition key three times from off to position 2 (without starting the vehicle) to reset. If it's near the service time, try not to delay the maintenance. When the ignition is in the ON position, the 'SERVICE' indicator on the display will flash and disappear after starting the engine, indicating that maintenance is required. After maintenance, the service light should be reset.
I've been driving a Volkswagen Lavida for over five years and have encountered the tire pressure monitoring light issue several times. The most straightforward solution is to first check the actual tire pressure of all four tires, ensuring they're inflated to the standard values (marked on the inside of the fuel filler cap). Then, sit in the car, turn the key to the power-on position without starting the engine, locate the vehicle settings menu on the center console screen, enter the tire options, and select tire pressure reset. At this point, the tire pressure light on the dashboard will flash a few times and then turn off. Drive the car for about ten minutes, and the system will automatically reset. If your car doesn't have a large center console screen, you can try holding down the SET button next to the gear lever for five seconds. A beep sound indicates the reset has started. Remember to avoid bumpy roads after the reset and maintain a steady speed for a while to allow the system to stably record data, otherwise the light might come on again.
