Methods to reset the tire pressure light on the 2019 New Lavida: 1. Visit the Volkswagen Lavida after-sales service center and have the maintenance personnel use a computer to diagnose the fault code and clear the error code; 2. Press and hold the tire pressure monitoring button on the right side in front of the gear shift lever. Generally, the tire pressure light can be reset after three seconds. The function of the tire pressure monitoring system is to automatically monitor the tire pressure in real time during driving and alert the driver in case of tire leakage or low pressure to ensure driving safety. The 2019 New Lavida has a length, width, and height of 4670mm, 1806mm, and 1474mm respectively, with a wheelbase of 2688mm. Compared to the current model, these dimensions have increased by 65mm, 41mm, and 14mm respectively, and the wheelbase has increased by 78mm.
Last time I encountered this situation, I first made sure the vehicle engine was started and parked in a safe place, then sat in the driver's seat to observe the dashboard. There's a button on the left side of the steering wheel with a car icon or the word SET—I held it down for about 3 to 5 seconds until the tire pressure indicator flashed or turned off completely. If the light didn't respond, it might have been due to abnormal tire pressure, so I then checked whether all four tires had standard pressure (usually around 2.3-2.5 bar). After confirming the pressure was correct, I repeated the operation. I make it a habit to manually check tire pressure every two weeks to avoid false warnings—this practice saves money and ensures safety, as incorrect tire pressure increases fuel consumption and affects braking. If the light keeps staying on, it might indicate a sensor malfunction, but I always try resetting it first before considering that.
As a Lavida owner for several years, I was quite anxious when the tire pressure warning light came on for no reason. I immediately started the engine and focused on the control area of the dashboard—looking for the small button labeled SET or CAR. I pressed it briefly to check the prompt, then held it down for about 3 seconds, and the light went out—super simple. I had overlooked this before, but after resetting, I realized the light came on because recent mountain driving caused uneven tire wear and unstable pressure. Now I've developed the habit of checking tire pressure every time I wash the car to prevent surprises. This method works great for daily maintenance of the 2019 Lavida—quick and effective.
The tire pressure monitoring system is designed to alert potential hazards, and the reset operation allows the car to relearn the current status. When driving a 2019 Lavida, I usually locate the reset button (often labeled SET) on the dashboard after starting the engine, then press and hold it for a few seconds until the light turns off. This saves time from visiting the repair shop, and the system should respond immediately once it's normal. I always pay attention to tire pressure balance, as too low or too high will trigger an alarm. Regularly checking tire pressure is more cost-effective than repairs.
