Where is the tire pressure reset button for the BYD Song?
2 Answers
The tire pressure reset light is located in the glove compartment on the passenger side, towards the left side, where you can find the tire pressure button. Turn the ignition key and hold the tire pressure button until you hear a beep, and the tire pressure light on the dashboard goes off, indicating a successful reset. The hazards of excessive tire pressure are as follows: 1. Affects braking performance: The friction and adhesion of the tire will decrease, affecting braking performance. 2. Reduced comfort: Causes steering wheel vibration and deviation, reducing driving comfort. 3. Reduced tire lifespan: Accelerates localized wear of the tread pattern in the center of the tire, reducing the tire's lifespan. 4. Affects component lifespan: Increases body vibration, indirectly affecting the lifespan of other components. 5. Increased load: Causes excessive stretching deformation of the tire cords, reducing the elasticity of the tire body and increasing the load on the car while driving. 6. Increased risk of tire blowout: Reduces puncture resistance, making it easier for sharp objects like nails and glass on the road to penetrate the tire, leading to internal cracks and blowouts.
I've been driving my BYD Song for several years, and the tire pressure reset button is cleverly hidden in the control area on the left side of the steering wheel – usually a button marked with TPMS or a similar icon at the lower left corner. To operate, the vehicle must be started, then press and hold this button for a few seconds. You'll see an indicator light flash on the dashboard, signaling the system is resetting the tire pressure data. If you can't locate it, check the user manual or explore the vehicle settings menu – many newer models integrate this function into the touchscreen system. I find this small feature quite crucial, as the tire pressure monitoring system can provide early warnings of potential risks like air leaks or low pressure that could lead to safety issues. It's advisable to reset it after every tire change or maintenance to ensure accuracy; otherwise, false alarms might affect your driving experience. Don’t overlook this during routine maintenance, and after resetting, remember to drive a short distance to verify the system updates.
