How to reset the tire pressure warning light on a Volkswagen?
2 Answers
The method to reset the tire pressure warning light on a Volkswagen is: 1. Use a tire pressure gauge to check the pressure of all four tires, and inflate if any tire is low on pressure; 2. After inflation, press the set button to reset, and the tire pressure warning light will be eliminated. Taking the 2021 Volkswagen T-Roc as an example, it belongs to the compact SUV category, with body dimensions of: length 4318mm, width 1819mm, height 1582mm, wheelbase of 2680mm, and a fuel tank capacity of 51l. The 2021 Volkswagen T-Roc features a MacPherson strut front suspension and a multi-link independent rear suspension. It is equipped with a 1.4L turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 150ps, maximum power of 110kw, maximum torque of 250nm, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.
My own Volkswagen's tire pressure light has come on a few times, and I've figured out a method: First, check if the tire pressure in all four wheels meets the standard (the standard values are usually on the fuel tank cap or door frame), and adjust it using an air pump. It's most accurate to do this when the car is cold. Then, start the ignition, go to the vehicle settings menu on the central screen, find the tire pressure monitoring system option, and select to store the tire pressure data or reset it. Sometimes, it's in the dashboard menu, operated using the steering wheel control buttons. After the operation, remember to drive for 10 minutes to let the system re-detect. Once, after I reset it, the light was still on—it turned out there was a nail in the tire sidewall causing a slow leak. So, even after the light goes off, you should observe for a few days; if it keeps coming back on, you'll need to go to a repair shop to check the sensors or tires. It's best to keep a tire pressure gauge handy and check the pressure yourself every month.
