What are the steps to reset the tire pressure warning on a 2017 Golf?

The method to reset the tire pressure warning on a 2017 Golf: First, turn on the ignition switch, then press and hold the tire pressure monitoring reset button until you hear a "ding" sound, then release it. The tire pressure monitoring system will store the current normal tire pressure data, automatically clear the previous data, and finally, the warning light on the dashboard will turn off, completing the tire pressure reset. Precautions for inflating tires: Always use a pressure gauge to check the tire pressure to avoid overinflation, which can cause the tire to burst. After stopping the vehicle, wait for the tires to cool down before inflating, as driving increases tire temperature, affecting the pressure. Check the valve stem. If the valve stem and core are not properly aligned, have protrusions or depressions, or other defects, it may hinder inflation and pressure measurement. Ensure cleanliness when inflating. The air being pumped in should not contain moisture or oil, as this can deteriorate and damage the inner tube rubber. Do not exceed the standard pressure excessively and then deflate, nor overinflate due to prolonged inability to inflate while traveling. Excessive overinflation can overstretch the tire cords, reducing their strength and affecting the tire's lifespan.
I've been driving a 2017 Golf for several years. At first, I was completely confused when encountering the tire pressure warning, but later I learned a simple reset method: First, find a safe place to park, manually check the pressure of all four tires (including the spare) using a tire pressure gauge to ensure they're around 30-35 PSI (the exact value is on the door frame label). After adjusting the pressure, get in the car, turn on the ignition (without starting the engine), then operate the buttons on the left side of the steering wheel: Press the 'Menu' button, enter 'Vehicle Settings', select 'Tire Pressure Monitoring', click 'Store Settings' to confirm. The alarm will disappear after hearing a beep. This process taught me that tire pressure changes are common, and temperature fluctuations or long highway drives can easily trigger alarms. Regular checks can prevent blowout risks, extend tire lifespan, and save fuel. Now I measure it every two weeks. After making it a habit, I drive with more peace of mind, without constantly worrying about breakdowns affecting my trips.
As a novice driver, my beloved car is a 2017 Golf. Last time when the tire pressure warning light came on, I was startled, thinking the tire had burst. I learned the reset method from the manual: after parking, first check the pressure of each tire to ensure balance (the standard value is indicated on the label by the door, around 2.2 bar), inflate if necessary, and then proceed; next, sit in the car, with the ignition on, tap the 'Vehicle' icon on the center console screen, go to 'Settings', find the 'Tire' option, select 'Relearn', and confirm. I found that if I skip the inspection step out of laziness, the warning might come back on, making all the effort in vain. This made me realize the importance of driving safety: low tire pressure can accelerate wear and increase braking distance, so it's essential to develop a monthly inspection habit to prevent minor issues from becoming major ones.
I often help people with car issues, and resetting the tire pressure warning on a 2017 Golf is not difficult: First, ensure the tire pressure is normal to avoid a direct reset; after checking the pressure, get in the car and navigate to the dashboard menu: use the steering wheel knob to select 'Vehicle', enter 'Service', click 'Tire Pressure Settings', and then save. If the warning keeps reappearing, there might be a sensor malfunction requiring professional repair. Maintaining stable tire pressure can reduce fuel consumption and ensure safety.
