Where is the tire pressure reset button for the Trumpchi GS4?

The tire pressure reset button for the Trumpchi GS4 is located on the steering wheel, at the far left position of the combination switch. The Trumpchi GS4 tire pressure monitoring system is automatically activated. When a tire pressure warning occurs, a manual reset is required. First, turn on the ignition switch, then press and hold the tire pressure monitoring reset button until you hear a "beep" sound before releasing it. The tire pressure monitoring system will then store the current normal tire pressure data, automatically clear the previous data, and finally, the warning light on the dashboard will turn off, completing the tire pressure reset. Hazards of low tire pressure: Increased friction coefficient with the road surface, leading to higher fuel consumption; Causes the steering wheel to feel heavy and may lead to veering, which are factors detrimental to driving safety; Increases the movement of various parts of the tire, causing abnormal heat due to excessive rolling; Reduces the functionality of the cords and rubber, leading to delamination or cord breakage, and excessive friction with the rim causing damage to the bead area and abnormal wear; Multiplies the friction between the tire and the ground, sharply increasing tire temperature, softening the tire, and drastically reducing its strength. High-speed driving may result in a tire blowout; Increases tire body deformation, making the tire side prone to cracking, while generating flexing motion, leading to excessive heat, accelerating rubber aging, fatigue of the cord layers, and cord breakage. It also increases the tire's contact area with the ground, accelerating wear on the tire shoulders.
I've been driving the Trumpchi GS4 for two years and have encountered the tire pressure warning several times. The tire pressure reset button is actually hidden in the multifunction button system on the steering wheel. After starting the car, don't press the brake pedal, just press the start button twice to illuminate the dashboard. Then, use the four-way navigation button on the left side of the steering wheel to scroll down or sideways to find the settings menu. Slide to the vehicle information or tire pressure option and confirm the reset. It's best to perform this operation when the car is cold. After resetting, the system will automatically detect the current tire pressure. Remember to reset it every time you change tires or inflate them to avoid false alarms from the warning light. Usually, keep the tire pressure of each tire around 2.3-2.5 bar, which not only saves fuel but also ensures safety and reduces the risk of tire blowouts. Abnormal tire pressure can affect handling and tire lifespan, so it's recommended to buy a tire pressure gauge for regular checks.
