1. Preparation

Gather necessary tools: tire pressure gauge, air compressor (if needed).
Ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface.

2. Adjust Tire Pressure

Use the tire pressure gauge to check all tires, including the spare.
Inflate or deflate each tire to the recommended pressure listed on the driver’s side door jamb.
After adjusting, double-check with the tire pressure gauge.

3. Reset the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)

Locate the TPMS Reset Button:
- The reset button is typically located beneath the steering wheel. Consult the owner's manual for the exact position if necessary.
Press and Hold the TPMS Reset Button:
- With the ignition turned on (do not start the engine), press and hold the TPMS reset button until the tire pressure warning light blinks three times, then release the button.
Turn Off the Ignition:
- Turn off the ignition completely.
Start the Engine:
- Start the engine and observe the warning light. It should turn off after a few seconds if the system reset was successful.

4. Final Check

After resetting, check the tire pressure warning light after a short drive to ensure that it remains off.
