What is the method for resetting the tire pressure on a Volvo XC60?

Volvo XC60 tire pressure monitoring reset operation method is: Start the car, with all doors closed, find the menu button on the central dashboard, click to enter the option starting with the capital letter M, select "My XC60" and click to enter, then find the tire pressure initialization and click to confirm. Below is relevant information: 1. Tire pressure monitoring is the real-time automatic monitoring of tire pressure during car driving, and it alerts for tire leaks and low pressure to ensure driving safety. 2. There are two common types: (1) Direct tire pressure monitoring devices, which use pressure sensors installed in each tire to directly measure the tire pressure, and use wireless transmitters to send pressure information from inside the tire to the central receiver module system, then display the tire pressure data for each tire. When the tire pressure is too low or there is a leak, the system will automatically alert. (2) Indirect tire pressure monitoring devices, when the pressure of a certain tire decreases, the weight of the vehicle will cause the rolling radius of that wheel to become smaller, resulting in its rotation speed being faster than other wheels. In this way, by comparing the speed difference between the tires, the purpose of monitoring tire pressure can be achieved. Indirect tire alarm systems actually rely on calculating the rolling radius of the tire to monitor the pressure.
Last time when I was driving my Volvo XC60, the tire pressure warning light came on and I performed a reset, which was quite straightforward. First, sit in the car without starting the engine, just press the start button twice to power on the electrical system. Then, on the central control screen, tap 'Settings', find the 'Vehicle Settings' menu, select it, and choose 'Tire Pressure Monitoring System'. Inside, there's a 'Calibrate' or 'Reset' option—confirm your selection, and the system will begin resetting. Afterward, drive for about 10 to 20 minutes to let the car automatically learn the new tire pressure. Remember to check all tire pressures with a gauge beforehand to ensure they're normal; otherwise, the warning light might reappear. Safe driving relies on these small habits, especially in cold weather when tire pressure fluctuates quickly. I check mine quarterly to prevent uneven wear—it takes less than five minutes in total.
I've helped my neighbor reset the tire pressure on their XC60, and the actual steps aren't complicated. Power on the vehicle without starting the engine, then the center console menu becomes accessible. Navigate to the tire pressure settings. Use the steering wheel buttons or touchscreen to select the TPMS option, then tap 'Initialize' or 'Reset'. Drive for a while to allow the sensors to calibrate, preferably a steady 20-minute drive. The reset mainly clears the warning light, but only works if the tire pressure is correct—otherwise, inflate to the standard value first. By the way, regular tire pressure maintenance saves fuel and enhances safety. Always check before winter trips or long drives.
