How to reset the tire pressure monitoring on Dongfeng Fengguang 580?

Dongfeng Fengguang 580 tire pressure monitoring reset method: First, turn on the ignition switch, press and hold the tire pressure monitoring reset button until you hear a "ding" sound, then release. The tire pressure monitoring system will store the current normal tire pressure data, automatically clear the previous data, and finally, the warning light on the dashboard will turn off, indicating the tire pressure reset is complete. Common tire pressure monitoring methods: Direct tire pressure monitoring: Direct tire pressure monitoring devices use pressure sensors installed in each tire to directly measure the tire pressure. The pressure information is transmitted from inside the tire to a central receiver module via a wireless transmitter, and then the tire pressure data for each tire is displayed. The system will automatically alert when the tire pressure is too low or there is a leak. Indirect tire pressure monitoring: When the pressure in a tire decreases, the vehicle's weight causes the rolling radius of that tire to become smaller, making it rotate faster than the other wheels. By comparing the differences in rotational speed between the tires, the system monitors the tire pressure. Indirect tire pressure warning systems essentially rely on calculating the rolling radius of the tires to monitor pressure. Introduction to Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS): It combines the advantages of both systems mentioned above. Direct sensors are installed in two diagonally opposite tires, and a 4-wheel indirect system is also equipped. Compared to using only a direct system, this hybrid system can reduce costs and overcome the limitation of indirect systems, which cannot detect when multiple tires simultaneously have low pressure. However, it still cannot provide real-time data of the actual pressure in all four tires like a direct system.
I've been driving the Dongfeng 580 for quite some years and have encountered the tire pressure warning light falsely illuminating a few times. The reset method is actually quite simple: First, ensure all tire pressures are inflated to the standard values, which can be found on the door frame label or in the manual's recommendations. Then, get in the car, start the engine, and don't turn it off. Swipe open the menu on the central touchscreen, select 'Vehicle Settings' or 'Vehicle Information,' and find the 'Tire Pressure Monitoring System' option. Click 'Reset' or 'Learn,' and the system will prompt for confirmation with a single tap—that's it. After resetting, it's best to drive for about ten minutes to allow the sensors to update the data, so the tire pressure light will turn off by itself. I think regularly checking tire pressure is a good habit to prevent leaks or false alarms. If the reset fails, it might be a sensor malfunction, and you should visit a professional shop instead of pushing through. Doing a reset during regular maintenance can also save a lot of hassle, as safe driving relies on proper tire pressure.
