What does it mean when the 'set' light is on in a Volkswagen car?

When the 'set' light is on in a Volkswagen car, it means the tire pressure is too low. Effects of low tire pressure: Low tire pressure increases tire body deformation, easily causing cracks on the tire sidewalls. It also generates flexing motion, leading to excessive heat buildup, which accelerates rubber aging, fatigue of the cord ply, and cord breakage. Additionally, it increases the tire's contact area with the ground, accelerating shoulder wear. Effects of high tire pressure: Excessive tire pressure overextends the tire cords, reducing the tire body's elasticity. This increases the load on the car while driving, and impacts may cause internal cracks or blowouts. High pressure also accelerates tread wear and reduces puncture resistance.
