How to Reset the Tire Pressure Monitoring System?
1 Answers
The method to reset the tire pressure monitoring system is as follows: first, inflate all four tires to the standard pressure, then start the engine, and press and hold the SET button until you hear a beep, indicating that the tire pressure has been saved and the setup is complete. Below are the main functions of the tire pressure monitoring system: First, the tire pressure monitoring system helps prevent accidents. As an active safety device, it promptly alerts the driver in case of rapid or slow air leakage when a tire is punctured. It also warns when tire looseness causes uneven friction, leading to high temperatures (up to 70°C), thereby preventing blowouts and prompting the driver to take appropriate action to avoid serious accidents. Second, the tire pressure monitoring system extends tire lifespan. If a tire remains underinflated for an extended period and the pressure falls below the vehicle's preset limit, the system alerts the driver to prevent low pressure from causing overheating and blowouts. With this system, tires can always operate within the recommended pressure and temperature range, reducing damage and prolonging tire life. Studies show that driving with underinflated tires (10% below normal pressure) reduces tire lifespan by 15%. Hazards of unstable tire pressure: Reduced tire friction and grip, affecting braking performance; causes steering wheel vibration and misalignment, lowering driving comfort; accelerates uneven wear of the central tread pattern.
