What is the method to reset the tire pressure warning light on a Toyota RAV4?

Toyota RAV4 tire pressure warning light reset method is as follows: 1. First, check whether the tire pressure is normal. If the tire pressure is too low, the warning light will only turn off after the tire pressure is properly replenished. After the tire pressure monitoring system alerts, promptly inspect and refill the tire pressure. Only continue driving after confirming the tire pressure is normal. The tire pressure monitoring system will automatically reset and clear after the vehicle is driven for a certain distance. 2. If the tires are confirmed to be in good condition, you can press and hold the tire pressure monitoring button until the warning light turns off to reset it. 3. Finally, press the tire pressure monitoring button again until the light turns on, then restart the vehicle.
Last time the tire pressure warning light came on in my Toyota RAV4, as the owner I was quite nervous, fearing safety issues. I immediately pulled over, took out my spare tire pressure gauge to check each tire, and found the left front tire was significantly underinflated, probably due to a nail puncture. I quickly drove to a nearby service station and inflated it to 2.5 BAR (most RAV4 cold tire values are 32-35 PSI) as indicated on the door label. Then, sitting in the driver's seat, I turned the ignition to ON without starting the engine, found a small TPMS button on the dashboard, and held it for about five seconds until the light went off. The whole process took just 15 minutes and was very simple. I recommend not taking it lightly - low tire pressure accelerates tire wear, increases fuel consumption, and affects braking. Now I make it a habit to check tire pressure when the tires are cold at the beginning of each month to prevent problems before they occur.
