Where is the tire pressure reset button for the Hongqi H5?
3 Answers
The tire pressure reset button for the Hongqi H5 is located at the front end of the gear shift lever. To reset, first press the brake pedal, then press the one-touch start button to illuminate the dashboard lights and power on the entire vehicle. Inflate all four tires to the standard pressure, then press the tire pressure reset button located at the front end of the gear shift lever to complete the reset. There are three commonly used methods for tire pressure monitoring: Direct Tire Pressure Monitoring: This system uses pressure sensors installed in each tire to directly measure the tire pressure. The pressure information is transmitted wirelessly from inside the tire to a central receiver module, which then displays the pressure data for each tire. The system automatically alerts the driver if the tire pressure is too low or if there is a leak. Indirect Tire Pressure Monitoring: When the pressure in a tire decreases, the vehicle's weight causes the rolling radius of that tire to become smaller, resulting in a faster rotation speed compared to the other wheels. By comparing the differences in rotation speeds between the tires, the system monitors the tire pressure. Indirect tire pressure monitoring systems essentially rely on calculating the rolling radius of the tires to monitor pressure. Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Overview: This system combines the advantages of both direct and indirect systems. It is equipped with direct sensors in two diagonally opposite tires and includes a four-wheel indirect system. Compared to a full direct system, this hybrid system reduces costs and overcomes the limitation of indirect systems, which cannot detect when multiple tires simultaneously have low pressure. However, it still cannot provide real-time pressure data for all four tires as a direct system does.
In my experience driving the Hongqi H5, the tire pressure reset button isn't hard to locate, though its position may vary by model. Most often, it's not a standalone button but tucked away in the multifunction control area on the left side of the steering wheel. Here's the step-by-step: After parking and starting the engine, press the info button on the steering wheel to access the instrument cluster menu. Scroll to the vehicle settings option, locate the tire pressure monitoring section, where you'll find the reset function. Confirm the action, and the system will recalibrate the sensors to clear the warning light. If you can't find it on first attempt, I recommend checking the owner's manual or contacting a dealership, as post-reset you must ensure proper tire pressure to prevent false alarms while driving. The whole process is straightforward—key is addressing it promptly for driving safety, preventing handling issues caused by abnormal pressure.
I find the tire pressure reset method of the Hongqi H5 quite intuitive. Unlike older cars with physical buttons, it uses the control wheel on the right side of the steering wheel. After starting the car, enter the main menu, swipe left or right to find the vehicle information service, go to the tire monitoring option, and hold the selection button for a few seconds to trigger the reset. This design is very user-friendly, and the reset process takes about 5 seconds to complete, with the system automatically recalibrating the pressure values. After trying it a few times, I always reset it once before seasonal changes or long trips to ensure the alarm system is accurate. If you're unsure about the location, try the car's touchscreen—in newer models, it allows direct operation, eliminating the hassle of buttons. The key is that timely resets can enhance daily driving peace of mind.
