I just drove a Golf 7, and the tire pressure reset button isn't a physical key—it's operated via the control stalk on the left side of the steering wheel. Here are the specific steps: Get in the car but don't start the engine; just turn the key to the ON position to illuminate the dashboard. Then, use the multifunction buttons on the steering wheel, typically the left/right arrow keys, to scroll through the menu and find the "Settings" or "Vehicle Settings" option. Inside, select "Tire Pressure Monitoring System," where you'll see a virtual reset button—press the confirmation key to proceed. After resetting, it's best to drive for a while to test and ensure the warning light doesn't come on. Checking the tire pressure is also crucial; the cold tire pressure should be around 2.3-2.5 bar. If the light remains on after resetting, the tire pressure might be too low, or there could be a sensor issue—it's advisable to have it checked at a shop.
I remember on my Golf 7, the tire pressure reset button was hidden in the instrument cluster menu. The procedure is: turn the key to the second position without starting the engine, then press the menu button on the steering wheel, usually near the left-hand stalk. Navigate through the menu to find the "CAR" button option, enter it, click on "Settings," then look for "Tires" or a similar menu, and select the reset function to confirm. It feels quite convenient, but sometimes false alarms can be triggered, like when the car is parked for a long time and temperature changes cause the warning light to come on. After resetting, it's best to check the tire pressure immediately to ensure everything is fine. Regular maintenance should include monitoring tire wear, and don't wait until the warning light stays on to take action, as it can affect driving safety.
On the Golf 7, the tire pressure reset button is operated through the vehicle information system. The process is quite simple: turn the key to the ACC position without starting the engine. Use the steering wheel buttons to access the main menu, select vehicle settings, find the tire pressure monitoring section, and confirm the reset. If the warning light is on, resetting can restore the system. It is recommended to check all tire pressures before resetting, with the standard cold pressure around 240 kPa. After the operation, drive for a few minutes for the system to self-check, and if there are no abnormalities, you're good to go.
