How to reset the tire pressure warning on BAIC U5?
4 Answers
Once the warning appears, firmly grip the steering wheel, reduce speed, and pull over to the side of the road, then turn on the hazard warning lights. Generally located near the gear shift lever or inside the glove box. Alternatively, it may be near the steering wheel; press and hold for 5 seconds. Inspect all four tires individually. Use visual and auditory methods to check - there's a high possibility of a nail puncture, which may require changing to the spare tire or calling for roadside assistance.
Hey, speaking of resetting the tire pressure warning on the BAIC U5, I've encountered this issue several times in my three years of ownership. It's actually quite simple. First, get out and check the pressure of all four tires using a tire pressure gauge. The standard tire pressure for the BAIC U5 is usually printed on the driver's door frame or in the user manual, typically between 2.3-2.5 bar. If the pressure is low, just inflate it with a pump. Once, my car had a slow leak, and the warning light turned off automatically after inflating. But sometimes, the light stays on even after inflating. In that case, you'll need to manually reset it: start the engine, sit in the car, find the tire pressure icon or settings menu on the center console or steering wheel buttons, and press and hold the OK or confirm button for a few seconds until the yellow exclamation mark light on the dashboard flashes or goes out. If it still doesn't work, drive a few hundred meters to let the system self-check, or check if the sensor is faulty—older cars are prone to sensor oxidation. If the warning still doesn't clear, take it to a 4S shop for inspection; don't ignore it. Driving with low tire pressure wastes fuel and is dangerous. Regularly check your tire pressure, ideally once a month, to prevent many issues.
Dealing with the tire pressure warning on the BAIC U5, I usually enjoy tinkering with car electronics. First, confirm that the normal pressure range for each tire is around 2.4 bar—using a digital tire pressure gauge is the most accurate way to ensure there are no leaks. To clear the warning, the main method is to reset it via the vehicle's menu: after starting the engine, navigate to the settings option either on the button area to the left of the steering wheel or the central control screen, where you'll find a tire pressure monitoring tab. Click into it and select reset or calibration, then patiently hold the button until the completion prompt appears—the dashboard warning light should turn off. If the light doesn’t go away after adjusting the pressure, it might be a sensor or battery issue, which is common in minor faults. A short drive is recommended to trigger a system update, followed by checking the tires for any foreign objects or damage. Developing a habit of checking tire pressure every time you refuel can help avoid warning disturbances. Unstable tire pressure affects handling and wear, and in severe cases, it can lead to blowouts at high speeds, so don’t delay repairs—paying attention to these details will make car usage safer and more cost-effective.
I'm an experienced driver, and dealing with the tire pressure warning on the BAIC U5 is easy. Park the car on level ground, check all tire pressures and adjust them to the standard value, usually between 2.2-2.6 bar. Just inflate them sufficiently. If the light remains on, find the reset button near the steering wheel and hold it down for a few seconds until the light flashes and then goes off. Sensor failures are rare. Once the pressure is correct, driving for a while will automatically reset the system to normal, so there's no need to visit a repair shop. Simple regular maintenance keeps things hassle-free.
