How to reset the tire pressure on Chery EQ1?

Make sure the car is parked safely by the roadside and check if the tire pressure monitoring function on the car's navigation screen for wheel abnormalities is functioning properly. After confirming the wheels, you also need to check whether the tire pressure is too high or too low. If the tire pressure is too low, you need to reset it and then start the car. Driving for a while will restore normal pressure.
To reset the tire pressure for my Chery eQ1, I first make sure all tire pressures are normal, usually around 2.3 bar, and confirm with a pressure gauge. Turn on the car's power but do not start the engine. Find the tire icon button among the buttons on the left side of the steering wheel, press and hold it for a few seconds until the dashboard displays "Tire Pressure Resetting." Then release the button, and it will automatically complete the process, turning off the warning light. This step is crucial because when tires are changed or the weather gets cold and the pressure is inaccurate, the system may give false alarms. Resetting can stop the warning and avoid distractions while driving. I recommend checking the tire pressure at least once a month to maintain efficiency and safety—don’t wait for the alarm to act. The operation is super simple and takes less than two minutes, but don’t reset if the pressure is wrong—first, use a pump or go to a shop to inflate it properly.
Chery EQ1 tire pressure reset requires quick and precise action: First, start the car without moving it, then navigate to the vehicle settings either via the steering wheel buttons or the central control menu. Select the tire pressure initialization option, confirm, and wait for the self-check to complete. The whole process takes about one or two minutes. After resetting, I usually drive a few hundred meters to test if the system is functioning properly. The key is to ensure the pressure is correct; otherwise, it's all for nothing. The tire pressure system is quite sensitive, and false alarms are common—resetting helps recalibrate and reduce false alerts. Regularly checking the pressure manually is more reliable than depending on the system, especially before long trips. It ensures safety, peace of mind, and extends tire life, which is my usual practice.
