How to Reset Tire Pressure?

The first step is to release the electronic parking brake button; otherwise, you cannot operate the central control screen. Locate and press the instrument information switch button on the multifunction steering wheel. The tire pressure information will appear on the dashboard. Click the RES+ button on the multifunction steering wheel. You will be redirected to the tire pressure monitoring settings interface. Click the reset button to reset the tire pressure monitoring system.
I've been driving for over twenty years and have reset tire pressure more times than I can count. The earliest cars didn't have tire pressure monitoring systems—we had to rely on manual pressure gauges. It's much more convenient now. Most car models have a tire pressure reset button, usually located on the center console or under the steering wheel. First, make sure the tire pressure is at the standard value (check the label on the door edge or the manual), then start the car, and hold the button down for a few seconds. If the warning light stays on after driving for a while, there might be an issue with the sensor, and you should take it to a shop. Don't delay on this—incorrect tire pressure affects braking distance and fuel efficiency. I ignored it when I was younger and almost got into trouble. Make it a habit to check tire pressure once or twice a month; a regular air pump will do—it's safe and saves money.
As a digital enthusiast, I find resetting tire pressure quite cool, and it's integrated into the infotainment system of many cars. After starting the car, navigate to the settings menu and look for the TPMS option, then tap 'Reset' or 'Learn Mode.' Some premium models even allow this via a mobile app for added convenience. The key is to first check all tire pressures and inflate them to the manufacturer-recommended PSI (don’t guess—check the manual)—this step is non-negotiable. Follow the steps, then typically drive for about 10 minutes to let the system calibrate. Tire sensors can occasionally glitch, especially in winter, so don’t rely solely on the dashboard light—keep a cheap tire gauge handy for manual checks. This method saves time and enhances the driving experience—why not give it a try?
