How to Reset the Tire Pressure Warning on Sagitar?
2 Answers
The method to reset the tire pressure warning on Sagitar: First, turn on the ignition, then press and hold the tire pressure monitoring reset button. After hearing a "dong" sound, release the button. The tire pressure monitoring system will then store the current normal tire pressure data, automatically clear the previous data, and finally, the warning light on the dashboard will turn off, indicating the tire pressure reset is complete. Tire pressure monitoring automatically checks the tire pressure in real-time while driving and alerts the driver to any leaks or low pressure to ensure driving safety. There are three common types of tire pressure monitoring systems: Direct Tire Pressure Monitoring: This system uses pressure sensors installed in each tire to directly measure the tire pressure. The pressure data is transmitted wirelessly from inside the tire to a central receiver module, which then displays the pressure data for each tire. The system automatically alerts the driver if the tire pressure is too low or if there is a leak. Indirect Tire Pressure Monitoring: When the pressure in a tire decreases, the vehicle's weight causes the rolling radius of that tire to become smaller, making it rotate faster than the other tires. By comparing the rotational speed differences between tires, the system monitors the tire pressure. Indirect tire pressure monitoring systems essentially rely on calculating the rolling radius of the tires to monitor pressure. Introduction to Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS): This system combines the advantages of both the direct and indirect systems. It is equipped with direct sensors in two diagonally opposite tires and includes a four-wheel indirect system. Compared to a full direct system, this hybrid system reduces costs and overcomes the limitation of indirect systems, which cannot detect simultaneous low pressure in multiple tires. However, it still cannot provide real-time pressure data for all four tires as a full direct system does.
I recently encountered the tire pressure warning light issue with my Sagitar as well, and it was quite stressful since it happened right before a long trip. The reset method is actually quite simple: first park and turn off the engine, then turn on the ignition without starting the engine. Next, locate the vehicle settings menu on the center console screen, select the tire pressure monitoring system reset option, and confirm. After resetting, it’s recommended to drive about 20 kilometers to let the system automatically calibrate the speed difference. By the way, don’t rush to reset when the warning light comes on—it’s best to first check each tire’s pressure with a tire gauge to ensure it’s within the standard range, such as 2.3-2.5 bar (usually indicated on a sticker on the door frame). If the warning occurs frequently, it could be due to a slow leak or sensor issue, so it’s best to visit a repair shop promptly. Incorrect tire pressure (too high or too low) not only triggers warnings but also causes tire wear and increases fuel consumption. That’s why I check my tire pressure monthly to ensure safe travels.
