Gather necessary tools: tire pressure gauge, air compressor, and vehicle owner's manual for reference.
Ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface and the engine is turned off.

2. Check Tire Pressure

Use the tire pressure gauge to measure the pressure in each tire.
Compare readings with the recommended tire pressure found on the driver’s door jamb or in the owner's manual.
Inflate or deflate tires as needed to match the recommended pressure.

3. Reset the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)

Turn on the vehicle without starting the engine by pressing the brake pedal and pushing the start button.
Access the vehicle’s main display and navigate to the settings menu.
Find the "Service" or "Tire Pressure" section in the menu.
Select the option to reset the tire pressure monitoring system.
Confirm the reset and wait for the system to complete the process.

4. Verify Reset

Turn off the vehicle and then restart it.
Check the dashboard to ensure the tire pressure warning light is no longer illuminated.
