Where is the tire reset button for the Volkswagen Magotan?

[DeKingston]

The tire reset button for the Volkswagen Magotan is located on the side of the gear shift lever. With the ignition switch turned on, press and hold this button. When you hear a beep, the tire pressure reset is complete. Strictly speaking, tire pressure refers to the air pressure inside the tire, and the level of tire pressure plays a crucial role in the performance and power of the car. The Magotan is a model under FAW-Volkswagen, with dimensions of 4866mm in length, 1832mm in width, and 1464mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2812mm. In terms of power, this car is equipped with three engines: a 1.4-liter turbocharged engine, a low-power version 2.0-liter turbocharged engine, and a high-power version 2.0-liter turbocharged engine.

I previously drove a 2019 Magotan, and the tire reset button is located in the multifunction button area on the right side of the steering wheel, usually marked with a SET symbol. Here's how to do it: First, park the car and turn off the engine, then turn the key to the second position without starting the engine. After a while, press and hold the SET button for a few seconds until the dashboard light flashes, and that's it. Why is resetting necessary? For example, after installing new tires or inflating them, the system might falsely indicate low tire pressure. Pressing the button allows it to recalibrate. I recommend making it a habit to check tire pressure at least once a month, keeping it around 2.5 bar for safe driving and avoiding emergencies. Don’t underestimate this feature—last summer, a friend of mine didn’t reset it before getting on the highway, and the warning light kept flashing, nearly causing an accident. Luckily, he was driving slowly and pulled over in time. Volkswagen’s design is quite thoughtful—the steering wheel placement makes it easy to operate without struggling to find the button.

I often tinker with this thing. On most Volkswagen Magotan models, the tire reset is that tiny button on the lower right of the steering wheel—look closely for a tire symbol or the word 'SET'. After driving, park and turn off the engine, then turn the key to the ACC position without starting. Press and hold that button for about five seconds until the dashboard indicator light goes off. The system's technical name is tire pressure monitoring reset, but no need for jargon—this simple method works fine. When I first got the car, I tried it many times out of curiosity. For example, after switching to winter tires, you must reset it once to avoid false alarms—just remember to stay focused during the process, safety first. If the button doesn’t respond to similar issues, it might be due to loose wiring or a weak battery that needs checking. Overall, the button design is simple and intuitively placed within easy reach without affecting driving.

As a daily user, I find the reset button position intuitive—it's usually on the steering wheel, often marked with a 'SET' label. Operation: After parking and turning off the engine, turn on the ignition without starting the car, then hold the button for a few seconds until the light goes off. This mainly prevents false tire pressure alarms and ensures driving safety. After resetting, the system resamples the tire pressure to reduce risks. I recommend performing a reset whenever you check your tires seasonally to avoid hassle. Volkswagen designs this function near the steering wheel for easy access without complexity.
