Inflate or deflate tires as necessary to match the manufacturer’s recommended tire pressure (found on the driver’s door jamb).

1. Turn the ignition to the "ON" position (but do not start the engine).
2. Locate the TPMS reset button beneath the steering column or on the dashboard (refer to the owner’s manual for the exact location).
3. Press and hold the TPMS reset button until the tire pressure light blinks three times, then release the button.
4. Start the engine and allow it to run for a few minutes; the light should turn off.
Method 2: Using the Vehicle Settings (if applicable)
1. Turn on the ignition without starting the engine.
2. Use the multi-information display button on the steering wheel to navigate to the "Settings" menu.
3. Select "Tire Pressure" and choose the option to reset the TPMS.
4. Follow any on-screen prompts and confirm the reset.
