How to Reset the Tire Pressure Warning Light on a Sagitar?

The method to reset the tire pressure warning light on a Sagitar: First, turn on the ignition, then press and hold the tire pressure monitoring reset button until you hear a "beep" sound before releasing it. The tire pressure monitoring system will then store the current normal tire pressure data, automatically clear the previous data, and finally, the warning light on the dashboard will turn off, completing the tire pressure reset. Tire pressure monitoring automatically checks the tire pressure in real-time while driving and alerts the driver in case of tire leaks or low pressure to ensure driving safety. There are three commonly used tire pressure monitoring methods: Direct Tire Pressure Monitoring: Direct tire pressure monitoring devices use pressure sensors installed in each tire to directly measure the tire pressure. The pressure information is transmitted from inside the tire to a central receiver module via a wireless transmitter, which then displays the tire pressure data for each tire. The system automatically alerts the driver when the tire pressure is too low or if there is a leak. Indirect Tire Pressure Monitoring: When the pressure in a tire decreases, the vehicle's weight causes the rolling radius of that tire to become smaller, making it rotate faster than the other wheels. By comparing the rotational speed differences between tires, the system monitors tire pressure. Indirect tire pressure warning systems essentially rely on calculating the rolling radius of tires to monitor pressure. Introduction to Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS): It combines the advantages of the two systems mentioned above. Direct sensors are installed in two diagonally opposite tires, and a four-wheel indirect system is also equipped. Compared to using only a direct system, this hybrid system can reduce costs and overcome the limitation of indirect systems, which cannot detect when multiple tires simultaneously have low pressure. However, it still cannot provide real-time data on the actual pressure in all four tires as a direct system can.
I've been driving my Sagitar for years, and the tire pressure warning light coming on is pretty common. Generally, the first step is to check if the tire pressure is normal. Squat down and use a pressure gauge to measure each tire, then compare it to the recommended value posted on the driver's door frame (usually around 32 PSI). If the pressure is low, just find an air station to inflate them to the standard value. After that, start the car and use the buttons on the left side of the steering wheel to navigate into the settings menu. Look for the "Tires" or "Tire Pressure Monitoring" option and select to reset and store the current pressure. Sometimes, driving for a few minutes will make the warning light go away on its own. If the alarm persists, there might be a slow leak in the tire or the sensor could be dirty, in which case you should take it to a shop for inspection. For safety's sake, don't ignore it—low tire pressure wears out tires faster and increases fuel consumption.
