- For vehicles with a push-button start, press the "Start" button without pressing the brake pedal.
Locate the TPMS Reset Button
- The TPMS reset button is typically located beneath the steering column or around the dashboard area. Refer to the owner’s manual for the exact location.
Press and Hold the TPMS Reset Button
- Press and hold the TPMS reset button until the TPMS light blinks three times, then release the button.
Drive the Vehicle

After driving, check that the TPMS warning light is off and the system is functioning properly.
