1. Preparation

Gather necessary tools and materials.
Ensure all tires are inflated to the manufacturer's recommended pressure (found on the driver’s side door jamb).
Park the vehicle on a level surface.

2. Locate the TPMS Reset Button

The TPMS reset button is usually located under the steering wheel or near the driver's side seat.
Refer to the owner’s manual for precise location if necessary.

3. Reset the TPMS

Turn the Ignition On:
- Insert the key and turn it to the "On" position without starting the engine.
Press the TPMS Reset Button:
- Press and hold the TPMS reset button until the TPMS warning light blinks three times, then release the button. This indicates that the system is resetting.
Turn Off the Ignition:
- Turn the ignition off and wait for about 10 seconds.
Start the Engine:
- Start the engine and check if the TPMS warning light is off. If the light remains illuminated, repeat the reset procedure.
