Which Button is the Tire Pressure Reset?
2 Answers
The tire pressure reset button is located on the control lever on the left side of the steering wheel. Tire pressure reset is an operation performed to reset the tire pressure monitoring system after addressing a tire pressure fault. Tire Pressure Reset Method: First, turn on the ignition, 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, indicating the completion of the tire pressure reset. Abnormal tire pressure is generally caused by one of the following three reasons: Abnormal Tire Pressure: The system typically alerts when the pressure is below 1.8 bar or above 3.0 bar. In such cases, tire inspection and pressure adjustment are necessary. Tire Pressure Monitoring Not Reset: After inflating the tires, if the tire pressure reset is not performed promptly, the system will continue to display the old data, causing the tire pressure monitoring indicator to remain lit. Simply performing a tire pressure reset will resolve this issue. Damaged Tire Pressure Sensor: The tire pressure sensor, which monitors tire pressure, is installed inside the tire and connected to the tire inflation valve. If the sensor is damaged during driving, it can also trigger the tire pressure warning light. In case of sensor damage, the only solution is to replace it with a new one.
The location of the tire pressure reset button varies by vehicle model, and I have to readjust every time I switch cars. On most regular vehicles, it's tucked away in a small corner under the steering wheel or on the left side of the dashboard, sometimes marked with a TPMS icon. If you can't find it, consult the owner's manual for detailed diagrams. As a new driver, I recommend not randomly searching to avoid accidentally pressing other buttons. When the tire pressure warning light comes on, it indicates abnormal pressure—make sure to adjust the tire pressure to normal values before resetting, or the reset will be pointless. Developing a habit of regular checks enhances driving safety and prevents sudden issues. A common mistake is forgetting to reset before highway driving, leaving the flashing light to cause unnecessary panic.
