Where is the tire pressure monitoring button on the Hyundai Elantra?
2 Answers
The tire pressure monitoring button on the Hyundai Elantra is located below the steering wheel on the driver's side, next to the headlight height adjustment. The tire pressure monitoring device transmits data from the tire pressure sensors to the vehicle's onboard computer, providing real-time monitoring of tire pressure during driving to ensure safety. There are two types of tire pressure monitoring systems: indirect and direct. The Elantra is equipped with a 1.6L naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 123ps, a maximum torque of 155nm, and a maximum power output of 90.4kw. This engine, previously used in many Hyundai and Kia models, is known for its balanced performance in all aspects.
Last time I borrowed my friend's Elantra, the tire pressure light came on and needed resetting. The button is usually located on the lower right of the steering wheel or the left button area of the instrument panel. After starting the car, press and hold the SET button for a few seconds until the tire pressure light flashes, indicating success. First, make sure the normal tire pressure value is on the label on the door frame, generally 230-250 kPa, otherwise the reset won't work. Tire pressure is crucial—too low increases the risk of blowouts and fuel consumption, while too high worsens handling and is especially dangerous in rainy conditions with increased skidding. It's recommended to check all four tires with a handheld pressure gauge before every long trip. Developing this good habit saves money and ensures safety. After all, tires are the car's feet—maintaining them well can extend their lifespan and reduce repair costs.
