How to Reset the Tire Pressure Warning on a Haval?
3 Answers
To reset the tire pressure warning on a Haval, follow these steps: 1. After the tire pressure indicator lights up, safely pull over and check the tire pressure monitoring function on the car's navigation screen for any abnormal wheel readings. 2. If a wheel is found to be abnormal, determine whether the tire pressure is too high or too low. If the pressure is too high, adjust the tire gas to the safe pressure value and press 'Confirm' to reset. 3. If the tire pressure is shown to be too low, reset the system and drive the car for a while. Taking the 2021 Haval F7 as an example, it features a MacPherson strut front suspension and a double-wishbone rear suspension. It is equipped with a 1.5L turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 169 PS, a maximum power of 124 kW, and a maximum torque of 285 Nm, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.
I often drive a Haval, and dealing with the tire pressure warning isn't difficult. First, check if all tire pressures meet the standard, which is usually found on the door frame or in the manual, typically 2.3-2.5 bar. If the pressure is normal but the warning persists, go to the central control menu in the car, enter 'Vehicle Settings' or 'TPMS Reset,' and follow the prompts. In my car, I press the steering wheel buttons to select the reset option on the dashboard. After resetting, drive for a few minutes, and usually, the alarm will go away. If it still beeps, the sensor might be dirty or there could be a small nail, so it's best to visit a 4S shop for a check. Make it a habit to check the tire pressure monthly to prevent this issue. Never ignore it—a tire blowout on the highway can be dangerous. As a long-time owner, I recommend carrying a tire pressure gauge—it's cost-effective and safe.
Haval's tire pressure monitoring system is quite sensitive. I believe the key to clearing the alarm is understanding how the sensors work. When the warning light comes on, first pull over to check each tire's pressure and inflate if low. After normalizing, start the engine but don't drive, then navigate to the 'Tire Pressure Monitor Reset' function in the instrument cluster menu—the exact path is in the owner's manual. After resetting, drive a short distance for automatic sensor calibration. Frequent alerts may indicate a punctured tire or dying sensor battery. I've found having technicians inspect sensors during routine maintenance prevents issues. Adjusting tire pressure before seasonal weather changes helps too, as thermal expansion can trigger false alarms. Stay meticulous and methodical—no rushed operations—and you'll handle it smoothly.
