How to reset the tire pressure on a Volvo XC60?

Volvo XC60 tire pressure reset steps: Turn on the ignition, press and hold the tire pressure monitoring reset button until you hear a "ding" sound, then release. At this point, the tire pressure monitoring system will store the current normal tire pressure data, automatically clear the previous data, and finally the dashboard warning light will turn off. What to do if the tire pressure is insufficient: If no damage is visible on the car's tires, simply inflate them to the normal pressure and reset the tire pressure system. If inspection reveals that a tire has been punctured, drive to a car repair shop promptly to have it patched, then reinflate it. If the tire pressure warning appears again some time after inflation but there is no puncture, it may be due to air leakage caused by a deformed wheel rim. It is recommended to check the wheel rim and replace it if necessary. The working principle of the tire pressure monitoring system is: It uses pressure sensors installed inside the tires to measure the tire pressure and wireless transmitters to send the pressure information from inside the tire to a central receiver module.
I've been driving my Volvo XC60 for several years, and resetting the tire pressure warning is actually quite straightforward. After starting the car, first settle into the driver's seat and use the buttons on the left side of the steering wheel to navigate the dashboard menu. Switch to the 'Car Settings' option, where you'll find a 'Tire Pressure Monitoring' submenu—click into it to see the reset button. Make sure the actual pressure in all four tires is normal by checking with a tire pressure gauge; if it's too low or too high, you'll need to inflate or deflate them. After that, drive a few kilometers, and the system will automatically calibrate, turning off the warning light. Don’t forget to check tire pressure regularly, as high summer temperatures can cause fluctuations, and a persistent warning light increases driving risks. If the light stays on after several attempts, it might be a sensor issue—best to visit a dealership for inspection to prevent any mishaps. I think it’s a good habit to check tire pressure quarterly; it saves a lot of hassle.
