Solution
1. Preparation
  • Gather necessary tools: tire pressure gauge, air compressor (if needed), and a valve core tool (if valve stems need adjustment).
  • Ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface.
2. Adjust Tire Pressure
  1. Check Current Tire Pressure
    • Remove the valve cap from each tire and check the pressure using the tire gauge.
  2. Deflate Excess Pressure
    • If tire pressure exceeds the recommended level, use the valve core tool to slightly depress the valve stem and release air until the correct pressure is achieved.
  3. Inflate Tires if Necessary
    • If tire pressure is below the recommended level, connect the air compressor and inflate the tire to the specified pressure.
  4. Replace Valve Caps
    • Ensure all valve caps are securely replaced after adjustments.
3. Reset TPMS
  1. Access the Settings Menu
    • Use the touchscreen to navigate to the vehicle settings.
  2. Reset TPMS
    • Select "Service" > "Tire Pressure" and follow prompts to reset the monitoring system.
  3. Confirm Calibration
    • After resetting, drive the vehicle for a few minutes to allow the system to recalibrate.
