Solution

1. Preparation

Ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface and the ignition is in the "ON" position without starting the engine.

Navigate to the vehicle's main menu on the infotainment system.
Select "Vehicle Settings" or "Vehicle Information."
Choose "Tire Pressure Monitoring" or "TPMS" from the options available.

3. Reset the TPMS

Select the option to "Reset" or "Initialize" the tire pressure monitoring system.
Confirm the reset when prompted by the system. This action may initiate a recalibration process.

4. Verify the Reset

Drive the vehicle for a few minutes at a speed above 20 mph (32 km/h) to allow the system to recalibrate and check for any tire pressure discrepancies.
Monitor the dashboard for the tire pressure warning light; it should turn off if the system has reset successfully.
