2 Answers
To reset the tire pressure on a Passat, follow these steps: 1. Turn on the ignition; 2. Press and hold the setting button for more than 2 seconds; 3. The instrument panel will emit a prompt sound, and the warning light will turn off after the parameters are successfully stored. The Passat is a mid-size car under SAIC Volkswagen. Taking the 2020 Passat as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4933mm, width 1836mm, height 1469mm, wheelbase 2871mm, and fuel tank capacity 68.5L. The 2020 Passat is equipped with a 1.4T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum power of 110kW and a maximum torque of 250Nm, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.
To reset the tire pressure on a Passat, I've been driving this car for years and always follow the standard procedure. First, turn the ignition to the second position (without starting the engine) to power up the dashboard. Then, navigate to the vehicle settings menu on the infotainment screen—usually controlled via the steering wheel buttons on VW models. Use the directional keys to scroll down to the "Tire Pressure Monitoring System" option, enter it, and select the reset function to confirm. Once reset, the tire pressure warning light should turn off—it's that simple. However, before resetting, always ensure all tire pressures are within the specified range in the owner's manual (typically 2.3-2.5 bar for front tires, similar for rear). If pressures are too low or high, the light may reactivate, compromising handling safety. Check during routine maintenance, especially after seasonal changes, for the most effective reset.
