How to Reset the Tire Pressure Monitoring System to Factory Settings?

First, adjust the tire pressure to the standard value. Press and hold the middle button on the display to enter the learning mode, and the learning icon will flash. Press the left button to make the left front wheel icon flash, and install a new sensor on the left front wheel. Then press the right button to switch to the right front wheel, and install a new sensor on the right front wheel. After setting up all four sensors separately, press the middle button twice to return to the display's main page.
I just dealt with a tire pressure warning issue last month, and the reset process is actually quite simple. Park the car on level ground and turn off the engine, then locate the small button with an exclamation mark (the tire pressure reset button) below the left side of the steering wheel. Hold it until the dashboard indicator flashes three times and goes off, then start the vehicle and drive slowly for a few minutes to allow the system to self-calibrate. Remember to ensure all four tires are inflated to the standard pressure before resetting, otherwise the system may trigger false alarms during highway driving. If you can't find the button, check the owner's manual as locations vary by brand—for example, Volkswagen places it in the glove compartment while Toyota requires operation through the steering wheel menu.
