How to reset the tire pressure monitoring system on the Buick Excelle?

The method to reset the tire pressure monitoring system on the Buick Excelle is: 1. Locate the tire pressure learning option on the instrument panel and initiate the learning process. After selection, the instrument panel will display "Tire Pressure Learning in Progress" with two consecutive horn beeps, and the left front turn signal will illuminate; 2. Use a tool to press the valve core to deflate the left front tire until the horn beeps once, the left turn signal turns off, and the right turn signal lights up; 3. Repeat the same procedure for the other three tires to complete the reset. The Buick Excelle has dimensions of 4419mm in length, 1814mm in width, and 1487mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2685mm. The vehicle is equipped with a 1.0T Ecotec dual-injection turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum power of 120 kW and a maximum torque of 230 Nm, paired with a 6-speed DSS intelligent transmission.
I've been driving a Buick Excelle for several years, and the tire pressure monitoring reset is actually quite basic but crucial. Here's the detailed procedure: First, make sure all tire pressures meet the standard—for the Excelle, it's typically 220 kPa for both front and rear tires, as indicated on the label on the door frame. Then, get in the car, turn the key to the ON position without starting the engine, and locate the small button labeled 'Tire Pressure Reset' on the lower left of the steering wheel. Press and hold it for about 5 seconds until the tire pressure light on the dashboard flashes a few times and goes off. Remember, this only resets the warning system—actual tire pressure issues must be resolved, or the light will come back on. I recommend using a tire pressure gauge to confirm the pressure before each reset, as underinflation not only wastes fuel but also accelerates tire wear and increases the risk of a blowout. Buick's TPMS system uses sensors for real-time monitoring. If the light stays on after resetting, it might be due to a dead sensor battery or a wiring fault, in which case you should visit a professional shop for inspection. Personally, I check the tire pressure monthly—a small habit that can prevent big trouble.
