How to turn off the SET light?

[SanEli]

SET light is the tire pressure monitoring light. The illumination of the SET light may be caused by abnormal tire pressure. When the SET button light is on, it is necessary to check whether the tire pressure is normal. In most cases, when the SET light is on, the tire pressure monitoring warning light on the dashboard will also illuminate. After the driver confirms that the tire pressure is insufficient, reinflate the tires and then press and hold the SET button to turn off the tire pressure monitoring warning light on the dashboard. The reason for the SET light to illuminate is abnormal tire pressure. The following is an introduction to abnormal tire pressure: 1. Low tire pressure: If the pressure is too low, the tire body deformation increases, cracks are prone to appear on the tire side, and flexing motion occurs, leading to excessive heat generation, promoting rubber aging, fatigue of the cord layer, and cord breakage. It will also increase the tire contact area and accelerate shoulder wear. 2. High tire pressure: If the pressure is too high, the tire cords will be excessively stretched and deformed, and the elasticity of the tire body will decrease, increasing the load on the car while driving. In case of impact, internal cracks and explosions may occur. At the same time, excessive pressure will also accelerate tread wear and reduce puncture resistance.

If the SET light on your dashboard is illuminated, it typically indicates the cruise control system's activation light, showing that you've set a speed. To turn it off, the simplest method is to press the cancel button on the steering wheel—yes, the one with an X symbol. Alternatively, lightly tapping the brake pedal will automatically deactivate the cruise control, and the light will go out immediately. I often use this feature during long drives. If the light comes on without any operation, it might be due to a dirty or stuck button; try wiping around the control stalk with a soft cloth. Remember, never ignore a warning light. If it repeatedly lights up and can't be canceled, there might be a minor sensor issue, like a loose wire, requiring a check-up. Prevention is key: cleaning the steering wheel buttons during each car wash can reduce accidental activation risks. For safety, stay focused while driving, and if the light becomes a distraction, pull over immediately to address it.

The SET light staying on usually indicates the cruise control system is activated. Don't panic when trying to deactivate it: first look for the cancel button on the steering wheel to press, or gently tap the brake pedal to try. When I was a novice driver, I encountered a similar situation and thought the car was broken, but later learned basic operations could solve it. If the light doesn't go off, check if the button is stuck by something, or try restarting the engine to see the effect. In related aspects, if the light comes on without reason, it might be a setting issue or electronic fault - it's best to check the manual for confirmation; don't force it to avoid damaging the car. For prevention, regularly inspect vehicle control switches and keep them dry and clean. If the light comes on unexpectedly, ensure you don't get distracted while driving, and only handle it after safely parking the car.

Hey, the SET light usually indicates cruise control. To turn it off: just press the cancel button on the steering wheel or step on the brake. I've seen this during DIY car repairs—the light isn't a big deal; but if the operation doesn't work, it might be a button malfunction or a system false alarm. It's recommended to check if the control lever moves smoothly and avoid piling up clutter near the steering wheel. Since it's safety-related, don't drive distracted when the light is on.
