When the tire pressure monitoring light illuminates on a 2018 Magotan, it indicates abnormal tire pressure. First, adjust the tire pressure yourself. If the light remains on after adjustment, manual reset is required. Locate the settings button on the vehicle's center console instrument panel (usually the SET button) to perform the tire pressure reset. More relevant information is as follows: 1. Drive slowly to find a safe parking spot, turn off the engine, wait 1-2 minutes, then restart the vehicle. After the vehicle stabilizes, check the tire pressure values displayed on the dashboard; both underinflation and overinflation can trigger the tire pressure warning light. You can slowly drive to an auto repair shop or detailing center for proper tire pressure adjustment. If you have a personal inflation device, you can make adjustments on-site; while inflating or deflating, monitor the tire pressure light on your dashboard. Stop inflation when the light turns off. If overinflated, release excess air; 2. If the vehicle doesn't support manual operation, ensure normal tire pressure and have maintenance personnel use a specialized diagnostic tool to clear the fault code. Strictly speaking, tire pressure refers to the air pressure inside tires. In automotive maintenance, the engine is the heart of a car - its failure means the end of the vehicle's life, while tire pressure is like the car's blood pressure. Proper tire pressure plays a crucial role in vehicle performance and power.
Last time I helped a friend with the tire pressure warning on his 2018 Magotan, the steps were quite detailed: First, find a flat area to park and ensure all tire pressures are inflated to the standard values, usually marked on the door frame, such as 2.2 to 2.5 bar. Then, turn on the ignition but don’t start the engine, waiting for the dashboard to fully light up. Use the buttons on the right side of the steering wheel to navigate the menu, find "Vehicle Settings," and scroll to the "Tire Pressure Monitoring System" option. Select "Reset" and hold the confirmation button for three to five seconds until you hear a beep. After resetting, the system will recalibrate, and the warning light should turn off. If the light remains on, there might be unstable pressure or a leak, in which case you should visit a professional shop for inspection. For regular maintenance, it’s recommended to check tire pressure monthly. Resetting is simple and takes just five minutes, but don’t rush to drive off to avoid misoperation—safety first. Pay extra attention to tire conditions during rainy days or seasonal changes to prevent long-distance driving alerts affecting your trip.
I often encounter tire pressure alarm issues with my 2018 Magotan. The reset method is quite simple: First, check if the tire pressure meets the recommended values—details can be found on the label inside the door frame. Then, start the vehicle without moving it, directly tap 'Settings' on the central control screen, followed by the 'Tire' option, and select 'Tire Pressure Reset' to execute. Keep the vehicle stationary during the operation, and press the confirmation button on the screen for a few seconds as prompted to reset. If the alarm doesn't disappear after resetting, there might be an actual tire issue or a sensor malfunction. I recommend carrying a tire pressure gauge to monitor regularly, making it a habit to reduce hassles. After resetting, double-check the tire pressure before driving—safety first, don’t take it lightly. If the alarm sounds while driving, pull over and try resetting again.
