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

2. Check and Inflate Tires

Sub-step 1: Remove valve caps from all tires.
Sub-step 2: Use the tire pressure gauge to measure the pressure of each tire.
Sub-step 3: If any tire is below the manufacturer's recommended pressure, use an air compressor to inflate it to the correct level.
Sub-step 4: Replace valve caps securely after checking.

3. Reset TPMS

Sub-step 1: Turn on the ignition without starting the engine (press the start button twice without pressing the brake).
Sub-step 2: Locate the TPMS reset button, usually found below the steering wheel or near the driver's side door.
Sub-step 3: Press and hold the TPMS reset button until the TPMS warning light blinks three times, then release the button.
Sub-step 4: Start the engine and let it run for about 20 minutes to complete the reset process.

4. Verify Reset

Sub-step 1: After driving for a short distance, check if the tire pressure warning light has turned off.
Sub-step 2: If the light remains on, repeat the tire pressure check and reset procedure.
