Where is the tire pressure monitoring button located on the Wuling Hongguang S?

The tire pressure reset button for the Wuling Hongguang S is located on the multifunction steering wheel. The button for the tire pressure monitoring system is the SET key. The tire pressure monitoring system, abbreviated as TPMS, utilizes technology that records tire rotation speed or electronic sensors installed in the tires to automatically monitor various tire conditions in real-time, providing effective safety protection while driving. Tire pressure monitoring systems can be divided into two types: one is the indirect tire pressure monitoring system, which determines tire abnormalities by detecting differences in tire rotation speed; the other is the direct tire pressure monitoring system, which installs four tire pressure monitoring sensors inside the tires to automatically monitor tire pressure and temperature in real-time, whether the vehicle is stationary or in motion. It also provides timely alerts for high pressure, low pressure, and high temperature to prevent traffic accidents caused by tire failures, ensuring driving safety. The indirect tire pressure monitoring system is also known as WSBTPMS. WSBTPMS relies on the wheel speed sensors of the vehicle's ABS anti-lock braking system to compare the rotational speed differences between tires, thereby achieving the purpose of monitoring tire pressure. ABS uses wheel speed sensors to determine whether a wheel is locked, deciding whether to activate the anti-lock braking system. When tire pressure decreases, the vehicle's weight causes the tire diameter to shrink, resulting in changes in speed. These speed changes trigger the WSB alarm system, alerting the driver to insufficient tire pressure. Therefore, indirect TPMS is classified as a passive TPMS. The direct tire pressure monitoring system is also known as PSBTPMS. PSBTPMS uses pressure sensors installed in the tires to measure tire pressure and temperature, transmitting pressure information wirelessly from inside the tire to a central receiver module, which then displays the tire pressure data. The system alerts the driver when high pressure, low pressure, or high temperature is detected. Additionally, drivers can customize the alarm thresholds for tire pressure and temperature based on their vehicle model, driving habits, and geographical location. Therefore, direct TPMS is classified as an active TPMS.
I bought a Wuling Hongguang S last year, and while exploring it myself, I found that the tire pressure monitoring button is usually located in the button area on the center console or on the left-side panel of the steering wheel. The exact position depends on the model year—some designs place it under the instrument panel, near the driver's knee position. If you're a new car owner, it's normal not to find it at first glance. I recommend starting the vehicle and pressing the small icon buttons one by one to locate it. After rotating the tires, remember to reset the system; otherwise, it may falsely report low tire pressure, which can be unsettling while driving. If you can't find it, don’t panic—refer to the illustrated instructions in the user manual, as they can save you a lot of trouble. In short, familiarizing yourself with the vehicle's control area is fundamental for daily driving.
