What are the precautions for changing tires with tire pressure monitoring?

Precautions for installing tire pressure monitoring during tire replacement: Protect the tire pressure sensor during the tire removal process. The following is an introduction to tire pressure monitoring: 1. Each tire is equipped with a tire pressure sensor that transmits the tire pressure to the car's tire pressure control system wirelessly, allowing the car's data dashboard to display the tire pressure for each specific position. 2. When resetting the tire pressure monitoring system, park the car, turn off the engine, and engage the handbrake: Power on the car without starting the engine: Simultaneously press and hold the lock and unlock buttons on the remote control for 5 seconds until you hear two short honks from the car: Then, reset each tire in the order of front left, front right, rear right, and rear left: Unscrew the valve cap on the tire and continuously deflate the tire until you hear a short honk from the car, indicating the tire has been successfully reset.
I've been driving for over a decade, and when it comes to changing tires with TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System), you really need to be careful. Last time I got new tires, the mechanic almost broke the sensor, so now I always remind repair shops that my car has this feature. The sensors are usually installed near the valve stem, so you need to be gentle during removal and installation. After replacement, make sure the repair shop uses special equipment to rematch the system - sometimes you even need to drive a few kilometers for the car to recognize the new tires. Never replace just one tire on a single side; at least change them in pairs symmetrically, otherwise the tire pressure data will fluctuate erratically. Oh, and if you're changing rims, be extra cautious as different rims might not be compatible with the original sensors - checking your vehicle manual beforehand is the safest approach.
