How to Resolve Pressure Loss Detected in Volkswagen Lavida?
2 Answers
First, turn on the ignition switch in the vehicle and press the car button on the infotainment system in the central control screen. Click to open the vehicle settings, then click the tire button, and follow the prompts of the tire pressure monitoring system to locate the corresponding underinflated tire. After confirming the tire pressure range, adjust the tire pressure to restore it within the standard range. Once the tire pressure adjustment is completed, drive at a speed of 15 kilometers per hour for ten minutes to automatically reset the system.
A few days ago, my Volkswagen Lavida also displayed a pressure loss warning, which made me quite nervous. It happened while I was driving on the highway when the dashboard suddenly lit up with a pressure loss alert. I immediately found a safe place to pull over. Upon getting out, I noticed the right rear tire was visibly flat—definitely punctured by a nail and leaking air. Fortunately, the warning came in time, or it could have been worse. The solution was to first try inflating it with the onboard air pump or take it to a repair shop for a patch. If the warning persists after inflation, it might be a faulty tire pressure sensor, requiring a computer reset at the dealership. I usually check the tire pressure monthly, maintaining it at the standard range of 2.3-2.5 bar to avoid slow leaks or sensor battery depletion. Volkswagen's system is quite smart, but it's best not to rely on it too much—developing a habit of self-checks is safer.
