How to Reset the Tire Pressure Warning on the Magotan?
2 Answers
The Magotan has a tire pressure reset switch located on the side of the gear lever. With the ignition switch turned on, pressing this switch button will clear the tire pressure monitoring indicator. Below is a detailed introduction to the Magotan's tire pressure monitoring system: 1. The tire pressure monitoring system utilizes the ABS sensing function to compare the rotation counts of the tires. Insufficient tire pressure shortens the tire's circumference, causing the rotation count to differ from other tires during driving. 2. The Magotan's tire pressure monitoring alerts based on wheel speed sensor comparisons. Tire pressure can be checked using a pressure gauge. While driving, the system monitors tire inflation pressure. If the inflation pressure in one tire is significantly lower than others, the system will issue a warning. As tire pressure decreases, the wheel's effective radius changes, altering its rotation speed. 3. To obtain accurate tire fault information, the system requires tires to have appropriate initial pressure. After adjusting tire inflation pressure, replacing tires or wheels, or when towing a trailer, the system must be reinitialized.
I've been driving a Magotan for several years and often encounter the issue of the tire pressure warning light coming on. The reset method is simple but requires step-by-step actions. First, park and check the tire pressure—generally, keep the front tires at 2.3 bar and the rear tires at 2.4 bar when cold. Look for obvious underinflation or tire damage. If everything is fine, start the engine but don't drive off immediately. Then, use the buttons on the right side of the multifunction steering wheel to navigate right into the menu, select the 'Settings' option, enter the 'Tire' or 'Tire Pressure Monitoring System' submenu, and find the 'Reset' or 'Calibrate' button to confirm. The system will prompt that the reset has begun, and after a few seconds, the light will turn off. The whole process takes just a minute or two, but the key is to reset only when the tire pressure is normal—otherwise, the light will come back on. Insufficient tire pressure increases fuel consumption and affects handling, so I check it monthly with a portable tire gauge to prevent issues. Once it becomes a habit, driving becomes smoother and more cost-effective. Don’t be lazy—address it promptly, as safety comes first.
