Solution

1. Preparation

Gather necessary tools and ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface.
Ensure all tires, including the spare (if equipped with a TPMS sensor), are at the correct pressure.

2. Resetting the Tire Pressure Light

Turn on the ignition without starting the engine.
- Ensure all vehicle lights are off.
Locate the TPMS reset button.
- It is usually found beneath the steering wheel or near the dashboard.
Press and hold the TPMS reset button until the tire pressure light blinks three times, then release the button.
Start the engine and wait for approximately 20 minutes.
- This allows the system to recalibrate and recognize the tire pressures.

3. Final Check

After the reset, check if the tire pressure light is off.
If the light remains illuminated, recheck the tire pressures and repeat the reset process.
