How to reset the tire pressure warning light on Roewe RX5?
4 Answers
To reset the tire pressure warning light on the Roewe RX5, access the vehicle control interface and tap on "Driving Maintenance" to enter the tire pressure reset screen. After confirming that the tires are in good condition, tap "Start" while the vehicle is stationary to perform the reset operation. Whenever you inflate, deflate, or replace wheels or tires, ensure the tire pressure is at the standard level and perform the reset operation. After resetting, the tire pressure monitoring system undergoes a self-learning process. The Roewe RX5 is a compact SUV with body dimensions of 4556mm in length, 1855mm in width, and 1719mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2700mm. It is equipped with two engines: a 2.0T and a 1.5T in-cylinder direct injection turbocharged engine. The front suspension is a MacPherson independent suspension, and the rear suspension is a multi-link independent suspension.
As an experienced driver, I've encountered the tire pressure warning light issue a few times. The reset method for the Roewe RX5 is actually quite simple. First, inflate all four tires including the spare to the standard pressure (usually 2.3-2.5 bar as indicated on the door frame or manual), with cold tires for most accurate measurement. Then start the vehicle, locate the 'Vehicle Settings' menu on the central display, enter the 'Tire Pressure Monitoring System', and finally hold down the 'Tire Pressure Reset' button for more than 3 seconds - the yellow TPMS light on the dashboard will then turn off. However, note that if the light keeps coming back after inflation, it might indicate a faulty sensor or a slow leak from a nail puncture, in which case you should visit a repair shop for thorough inspection.
Last time during maintenance, the technician taught me a trick: the new Roewe RX5 is more convenient to operate using the buttons on the right side of the steering wheel. After inflating the tires, don’t turn off the engine. Press the menu button on the steering wheel to enter the ‘Trip Computer’, select the ‘Tire Pressure Monitoring’ option, hold the OK button for 5 seconds, and release when you see the ‘Tire Pressure Learning’ prompt on the dashboard. Wait for it to rotate twice and turn off. Remember to drive for a while after resetting to let the system re-record the data—driving at high speed for about ten minutes is the safest. If the reset keeps failing, it’s likely that the sensor in one of the tires is out of battery or the receiver is malfunctioning, and a specialized inspection is needed.
Don't rush to reset the TPMS light, troubleshoot first. Use a tire pressure gauge to check if all tires have consistent pressure (keep variance within 0.2 bar), then inspect for wheel rim deformation. Reset procedure: Power on the vehicle without starting the engine, locate the 'SET' button (marked with an exclamation mark inside brackets) near the gearshift in the physical button cluster, hold for 10 seconds until the light flashes three times. For older models without this button, try simultaneously pressing the phone hang-up button and windshield defroster button on the steering wheel for 5 seconds. After reset, the TPMS light will blink rapidly indicating learning mode - it'll stop after 20 minutes of normal driving.
