How to Reset the Tire Pressure Warning Light on a Volkswagen Golf?
2 Answers
Before resetting the tire pressure light on the Golf 7, first confirm that the tire pressure is normal. If the tire pressure is normal, you can turn on the ignition. Press and hold the SET button in front of the gear lever for 3-5 seconds without releasing, and the tire pressure light will reset. Alternatively, you can also set it in the car's computer. Select the CAR button and click on settings. Enter the tire options, then select the tire pressure light reset.
I've been driving this Volkswagen Golf for several years, and the tire pressure warning is really annoying. First, park in a safe spot and use a tire pressure gauge to check each tire's pressure, making sure they match the manual's recommended values, like around 2.4 bar for the front tires and 2.6 bar for the rear. After adjusting, start the engine and find the SET button below the steering wheel or the tire pressure icon on the dashboard. Press and hold it for a few seconds until the indicator light flashes and goes off, then drive a few kilometers to let it calibrate. Don't skip the check—last time I got lazy and just cleared the light, only to nearly have a flat tire. Get into the habit of checking monthly to avoid trouble.
