How to reset the tire pressure warning light on the Lamando?
3 Answers
The tire pressure warning light on the Lamando will automatically turn off once the tire pressure of the alerted wheel is restored to the normal value. Turn on the ignition, locate the reset switch above the brake pedal, press it, and the warning light will start flashing. After 5 seconds, the issue will be resolved. Here is more information about tire pressure: 1. To reset the tire pressure on the Volkswagen Lamando, start the car, press and hold the SET button until the tire pressure light on the dashboard turns off, usually taking about 10 seconds. The tire pressure reset function is located in the instrument cluster's onboard computer and can be accessed via the multifunction steering wheel buttons. 2. Tire pressure, strictly speaking, refers to the air pressure inside the tire. Nowadays, many tires are not filled with air. For these tires, the tire pressure requirements are more stringent. Tires filled with air are affected by seasonal changes. Moreover, tire pressure is closely related to vehicle performance, such as comfort and load capacity, and also affects tire lifespan. Air pressure is the lifeblood of a tire; both too high and too low will shorten the tire's service life. Low pressure increases tire deformation, leading to cracks on the sidewalls and excessive flexing, which causes overheating, rubber aging, fatigue in the cord layers, and cord breakage. It also increases the tire's contact area, accelerating wear on the tire shoulders. High pressure overextends the tire cords, reducing the tire's elasticity and increasing the load on the car during driving. Impacts can cause internal cracks and blowouts, while high pressure also accelerates tread wear and reduces puncture resistance.
I've been driving the Lamando for several years, and when the tire pressure light comes on, don't panic. Usually, it indicates that the tire pressure is either too low or too high. First, pull over to a safe spot and check. Use a tire pressure gauge to measure each tire according to the standard values on the door frame label (e.g., around 30 PSI) and adjust them to the appropriate range. After that, go to the central control screen system menu in the car, find the "Tire Pressure Reset" button, and click it to reset—the light will turn off. Sometimes, the light may be a false alarm, such as when significant temperature changes cause pressure fluctuations; in such cases, a reset will suffice. However, make it a habit to check tire pressure monthly; otherwise, long-distance driving may increase the risk of a blowout or higher fuel consumption. I keep a small air pump in my car for easy adjustments. Remember, safety comes first—don't keep driving when the light is on, as it can damage the tires and affect handling.
As someone who frequently takes the Lingdu out for family trips, I immediately pull over when the tire pressure light comes on, fearing it might affect driving safety. First, I check the four tires for any signs of deflation or foreign objects, then use a simple tire pressure gauge to measure. If the pressure is low, I use a convenience store air pump to inflate them to the recommended value. After that, I go to the car's display screen to find the settings option, select "Tire Pressure Monitoring Reset," and confirm to clear the light signal. This light staying on might be a minor issue, but neglecting it can increase the risk of a tire blowout, especially when traveling with elderly or children. I check the tire pressure myself every month and have also installed a mobile app for tire pressure alerts, which gives me peace of mind. Regular maintenance saves money and is reliable—don't wait until something breaks to fix it.
