What is the method to activate the tire pressure monitoring in Lavida?
2 Answers
Lavida's tire pressure monitoring does not require activation; it operates automatically and will alert you if there is any abnormality in tire pressure. Taking the 2021 Lavida as an example, it is a compact car with the following dimensions: length 4670mm, width 1806mm, height 1474mm, wheelbase 2688mm, fuel tank capacity 51 liters, and trunk capacity 510 liters. The 2021 Lavida is equipped with a 1.4T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 150PS, maximum power of 110kW, maximum torque of 250Nm, and is paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.
I've been driving a Volkswagen Lavida for several years, and activating the tire pressure monitoring is quite simple, but attention to detail is key. After starting the car, don't rush to drive—make sure you're in a parked state. Then, locate the reset button on the center console, usually on the left side of the steering wheel, with an icon resembling a small tire and an exclamation mark. Press and hold it for a few seconds until the tire pressure indicator on the dashboard starts flashing and then turns off, indicating the reset is complete. I reset it every three months because this system relies on wheel speed sensors to monitor pressure, so it needs to learn the current tire pressure accurately. If you only activate it when the warning light comes on, you might miss potential hazards. The Lavida's button design is reasonable and easy to operate—the key is forming the habit of resetting it proactively to prevent blowouts and enhance driving safety. I find it more user-friendly than many high-end models. For maintenance, check if the tire pressure is between 2.2-2.5 bar—it saves fuel and extends tire life.
