How to reset the tire pressure warning on Maxus V80?

Method to reset the tire pressure warning on Maxus V80: Turn on the instrument power, then press and hold the reset button until the tire pressure warning light turns off. The tire pressure monitoring indicator is a yellow symbol, an irregular circle with no seal on top and four small spikes at the bottom, containing an exclamation mark inside. The illumination of the tire pressure monitoring indicator indicates abnormal tire pressure. Generally, there are three main reasons for abnormal tire pressure in the Touran: Abnormal tire pressure: Usually, the system will trigger a warning if the pressure is below 1.8 bar or above 3.0 bar. In this case, tire inspection and pressure adjustment are required. Tire pressure monitoring not reset: After inflating the tires, if the tire pressure is not reset in time, the system will still record the previous data, causing the tire pressure monitoring indicator to illuminate. Simply performing a tire pressure reset will resolve this issue. Damaged tire pressure sensor: The tire pressure sensor, which monitors tire pressure, is installed inside the tire and connected to the tire inflation valve. If the sensor is damaged due to impact while driving, it will also trigger the tire pressure warning light. For sensor damage issues, the only solution is to replace it with a new component.
Last time when I was driving my Maxus V80 on a long trip, I also encountered a tire pressure warning, which really freaked me out. I quickly pulled over to check all four tires and found a nail causing a slow leak in the left rear tire. If you're sure there's no puncture or leak, you can try this old-school method: After the vehicle is completely stopped and turned off, press and hold the tire pressure reset button at the bottom left of the dashboard, then restart the engine. Wait until the tire pressure indicator on the dashboard flashes three times before releasing the button. Remember to perform this on a flat surface, and calibration is most accurate when the vehicle is cold. If the light stays on while driving, it's likely an issue with the sensor or wiring, and you'll need to get it checked with a computer at a repair shop. It's always a good idea to keep a tire pressure gauge in the car for peace of mind—I now always carry an air pump with me.
