Where is the tire pressure reset button on the Golf VII?

The tire pressure reset button on the Golf VII is located on the gear shift lever - it's the SET button on the right side of the shift lever. Press and hold this button to complete the reset. For some models, it's the CAR button instead. The tire pressure reset method involves: 1) Entering the settings in the lower right corner of the display screen, 2) Locating the tire pressure option, and 3) Selecting reset. The Golf is a compact car from Volkswagen with dimensions of 4259mm (length) × 1799mm (width) × 1476mm (height) and a wheelbase of 2637mm. It comes equipped with two engine options: a 1.2L turbocharged engine and a 1.4L turbocharged engine.
I drove a Golf 7 for several years. The tire pressure reset button is located in the center console area on the left side of the steering wheel, where there's a small button labeled CAR or MENU. First press it, then rotate the knob on the right side of the steering wheel to bring up the settings menu. Find the vehicle settings or tire options, enter that section, and select the tire pressure monitoring reset. After confirming the new tire pressure, the system will remind you to drive a few kilometers for calibration. I've noticed that often the warning isn't due to actual air leakage but rather seasonal temperature fluctuations causing pressure changes - a simple reset usually fixes it. Regular tire pressure checks save fuel and improve safety. False alarms are common in winter; just make sure all four tires are at standard pressure before resetting. The Golf's design is quite thoughtful with its simple menu operation - just don't press buttons randomly. If unsure, checking the manual provides quick answers.
As a car owner, I've researched the tire pressure system: it alerts based on wheel speed changes monitored by ABS sensors. The reset button is actually located near the combination meter just below the steering wheel, accessible via a dedicated function button or through the central touchscreen settings. After starting the car, open the vehicle information, find the tire section, and select reset. The system needs to recalibrate the normal state to ensure accurate warnings for future changes. For maintenance, it's recommended to check tire pressure monthly. After resetting, drive for half an hour to let the computer calibrate and avoid false alarms. The Golf 7's feature is very practical, though upgrade details can be easily overlooked, but it protects tires and extends their lifespan.
