How to Reset the Tire Pressure Warning on the Outlander?
2 Answers
The method to reset the tire pressure warning on the Outlander: When the warning light comes on, locate the tire pressure reset button below the left side of the steering wheel. Press and hold it for a few seconds until the tire pressure warning light turns off, indicating a successful reset. If the warning cannot be reset manually, seek professional assistance to clear the fault code. The Outlander is a compact SUV under Mitsubishi, with body dimensions of 4705mm in length, 1810mm in width, and 1710mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2670mm. The Outlander is equipped with two engines: a 2.0-liter naturally aspirated engine and a 2.4-liter naturally aspirated engine.
Last time when I was driving the Outlander, the tire pressure warning light came on, which really worried me. I quickly found a place to pull over and checked the tire pressure with a gauge. Turned out one tire was down to 1.8, below the standard 2.4. I went to a gas station first to fill it back up to 2.4. After restarting the car (keep the engine running but don't drive), I located the tire pressure reset button at the lower right corner of the dashboard (the icon looks like a tire). Held it down for about 5 seconds, and the warning light obediently went off. I always carry a tire pressure gauge with me and check the pressure monthly, especially in summer when heat expansion and cold contraction make tires more prone to losing pressure. Prevention is always better than dealing with consequences. Remember to address warning lights immediately - never tough it out and keep driving, as a potential blowout could be disastrous.
