The Patrol does not have a separate tire pressure reset button; the tire pressure reset must be performed via a computer. However, if all four tires in use are confirmed to have tire pressure monitoring devices, balancing the air pressure in all four tires can achieve a reset. What to do if the tire pressure is insufficient: If no damage is visible on the car's tires, simply inflate them to the normal tire pressure and then reset the tire pressure system. If a puncture is found upon inspecting the car's tires, drive to a repair shop promptly to have the tire patched before reinflating it. If the tire pressure warning appears again some time after inflation but there is no puncture, it might be due to air leakage caused by a deformed wheel rim. It is recommended to check the wheel rim and replace it if necessary. The working principle of the tire pressure monitoring system is: It uses pressure sensors installed inside the tires to measure the tire pressure and wireless transmitters to send the pressure information from inside the tire to a central receiver module.

As someone who has driven a Patrol for four or five years, I've studied the button location several times. If you're driving the new Y62 model, after starting the car, there's a small button on the side of the dashboard below the steering wheel, marked with a tire and exclamation point icon. When the tire pressure warning light comes on, simply press and hold it for 3-5 seconds to reset. For older models, it might be hidden near the fuse box inside the glove compartment. Once after fixing a flat tire, I specifically opened the glove box and felt a raised round button near the right plastic clip. If you still can't find it, you can open the hood and check the backup button on the firewall on the driver's side. Just remember, the operation only works when the ignition is on, and the reset is successful when the flashing light on the dashboard goes off. Also, after fixing the tire, wait a few minutes for the system to relearn the tire pressure values before resetting, or else it's all for nothing.

Last time at my shop, we just fixed this issue on a Patrol. First, turn the ignition on but don't start the engine, then crouch near the driver's seat and feel below the steering wheel to the left. There's a rubber button about the size of a fingernail at the triangular junction between the center console and steering column - press it and you'll hear a beep as the warning light turns off. If you can't find it, there's another method: open the glove compartment, remove two screws from the right inner plastic panel, and you'll find a backup reset button on the black control box. Actually, the tire pressure monitoring system is particularly sensitive to improper operation - after inflating tires, always confirm all four tires reach around 2.5bar before resetting, otherwise it could be dangerous at highway speeds.

I've owned my Patrol for 8 years and changed tires twice, with the garage mechanics teaching me in person each time. There's a recessed area on the lower left corner of the new model's steering wheel where you can feel a square button with your fingertip. Key point: You must operate this when the vehicle is stationary - turn the key to the power-on position (don't start the engine), wait for the tire pressure yellow light on the dashboard to flash, then press and hold the button until the light goes off. That's how I cleared a false tire pressure warning during last year's snowfall. If you can't locate the button, don't force it - check Chapter 37 in the vehicle's manual for illustrated instructions, which is much more reliable than fumbling around.

Here's a tip for friends who just bought a used Patrol: The location of the tire pressure reset button depends on the year. For models after 2014, it's usually inside the dashboard cover on the left side of the steering wheel—you'll need to duck your head under the steering wheel to spot the small white button. Remember these three steps when operating: power on without ignition → wait for the warning light to flash → hold until the light goes off. The trickiest are the pre-2010 older models, where you have to remove the inner panel of the glove box to find the black module. Once, a client of mine almost broke the clips during removal, so I recommend keeping a flashlight handy. The key is to first confirm there's no actual tire leak before resetting, otherwise you might be masking a safety hazard.

Last week I accompanied my best friend to the 4S dealership to check out her newly purchased Patrol. The technician specifically reminded us during the tire pressure reset demonstration: The button is located on the knee panel above the driver's left leg, hidden quite deep. If you crouch down, you'll find it below the combination switches - a recessed groove with a tire pattern on the plastic component. The correct procedure is to turn off power-consuming devices like AC and audio, then press the start button twice without braking to power on. When the tire pressure light starts flashing, hold the button for five seconds. A beep from the instrument cluster confirms successful reset. If you can't locate the position, there's a backup button at the very bottom of the glove compartment, but you'll need to clear out all items to find it.
