The methods to reset the tire pressure warning light on the Lavida are: 1. Visit an after-sales service center to have technicians diagnose and clear the fault code using the vehicle's computer; 2. Press and hold the tire pressure monitoring button located on the right side in front of the gear shift lever for approximately three seconds to reset the tire pressure warning light. Tire pressure refers to the air pressure inside the tires, which is akin to the blood pressure of a car. The level of tire pressure plays a crucial role in the performance and power of the vehicle. Taking the 2021 Lavida as an example, it belongs to the compact car category with body dimensions of: length 4670mm, width 1806mm, height 1474mm, a wheelbase of 2688mm, a fuel tank capacity of 51 liters, and a trunk capacity of 510 liters.

Don't panic when the Lavida's tire pressure warning light comes on—I've encountered this often. Having driven my Lavida for several years, every time the light illuminates, it's due to low tire pressure or a leak. First step: Turn off the engine and inspect all four tires for nails or punctures. The standard tire pressure is listed on the door frame label, usually between 2.3 and 2.5 bar. Use a portable air pump to inflate the tires to the correct level, and don’t forget the spare tire. To reset, my experience is to turn the ignition to the ON position (without starting the engine), then press and hold the SET button on the center console for about 5 seconds—the light should go off. If that doesn’t work, drive a few kilometers to let the system auto-calibrate. Make it a habit to check tire pressure monthly and keep a good tire pressure gauge handy. If the light keeps coming back on, the sensor might be faulty—head to the 4S store for a replacement to avoid unstable driving, especially on highways. In short, it’s quite simple to handle yourself, saving frequent trips to the shop.

When dealing with the tire pressure warning light on the Lavida, I know a few tricks. This light usually comes on due to unstable tire pressure or a system false alarm. First, use a tire pressure gauge to check each tire—the normal range is between 2.3-2.5 bar—and adjust them evenly. To reset: Start the car without igniting the engine, locate the tire pressure reset button near the steering wheel, and hold it for more than 3 seconds until the indicator light flashes and goes off. Some models may require selecting the tire pressure option in the central control settings for confirmation. If the light persists, it could indicate a faulty wheel sensor or battery issue, requiring a professional diagnostic tool to test electrical signals. For daily maintenance, check tread wear when parking and avoid using cheap tire pressure gauges. This minimizes interference—after DIY adjustments, take a short test drive for safety and convenience.

Annoyed by the tire pressure warning light? Here's my advice from driving an old Lavida. First, stop and check the tires for leaks. If everything looks fine, inflate them to around 2.5 bar. Then, press and hold the SET button in the car to reset the system—keep holding until the light goes off. Drive for a while, and the light should turn off by itself. If it doesn’t, there might be an issue with the spare tire or a wheel, and you’ll need to replace it. Make it a habit to check tire pressure monthly to avoid underinflation—preventing the light from coming on saves money and hassle. Keep it simple, don’t overthink it, just give it a try.
