Where is the tire pressure reset button on the X-Trail?

The X-Trail does not have a separate tire pressure reset button. Only the 2.5L high-end models are equipped with a tire pressure monitoring alarm system, which allows you to view tire pressure readings on the instrument panel. Other models require the use of external instruments to check whether the tire pressure is at normal levels. Tire pressure monitoring automatically and continuously checks the air pressure in the tires while the vehicle is in motion, alerting the driver to leaks or low pressure to ensure driving safety. There are three common methods of tire pressure monitoring: Direct tire pressure monitoring: This system uses pressure sensors installed in each tire to directly measure the air pressure. The pressure data is transmitted wirelessly from inside the tire to a central receiver module, which then displays the pressure 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 air pressure in a tire decreases, the vehicle's weight causes the rolling radius of that wheel to become smaller, making it rotate faster than the other wheels. By comparing the rotational speed differences between tires, the system monitors the tire pressure. Indirect tire pressure alarm systems essentially rely on calculating the rolling radius of the tires to monitor air pressure. Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) overview: This system combines the advantages of both the 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 approach reduces costs and overcomes the indirect system's inability to detect simultaneous low pressure in multiple tires. However, it still cannot provide real-time data on the actual pressure in all four tires like a direct system can.
