How to Reset the Tire Pressure Warning on Volkswagen Lavida?
2 Answers
First, turn off the engine, then turn on the power to initiate the vehicle self-check. Press and hold the tire pressure monitoring button located on the right side in front of the gear lever for about three seconds until you hear a "ding" sound. Release the button, and the tire pressure warning light on the dashboard will be reset. Below are some relevant details: 1. The tire pressure monitoring system uses data from ABS sensors to monitor the rotation speed and changes in the rolling circumference of each wheel. If the rolling circumference of any wheel changes, the warning light will illuminate. 2. Do not rely solely on the vehicle's tire pressure monitoring system. Regularly check your tires to ensure the pressure is correct and there are no signs of damage, such as punctures, cuts, cracks, or bulges. Remove any foreign objects from the tire treads as long as they have not penetrated the tire internally.
I've been driving a Volkswagen Lavida for over three years and encountered the tire pressure warning several times. The reset method is quite simple. First, turn the car key to the power-on position without starting the engine—just make sure the dashboard lights up. Use the multifunction button on the right side of the steering wheel to enter the menu, navigate left or right to the vehicle settings, and find the 'Tire Pressure Monitoring' option. Press the central OK or SET button to confirm the reset, and the system will beep to indicate success. However, the key is to first check the air pressure in all four tires. The standard value for the Lavida is usually between 2.3-2.5 bar, so use an air pump to top them up and avoid leaks. In autumn and winter, the cold weather causes tire pressure to drop quickly, making warnings common—don’t rush onto the highway. After resetting, drive for a while, and the warning should disappear. If the alarm keeps recurring, it might be a sensor issue or a puncture; take it to a repair shop. Get into the habit of checking tire pressure monthly to avoid frequent annoying alerts and ensure driving safety.
