Solution

1. Preparation

Gather necessary tools: a tire pressure gauge, an air compressor (if tires need inflation), and the vehicle's key fob.
Ensure that the vehicle is parked on a flat, level surface.

2. Inflate Tires

Check Tire Pressure: Use the tire pressure gauge to measure the pressure of each tire.
Inflate as Necessary: If any tire is below the recommended pressure, use the air compressor to inflate it until it reaches the specified pressure.
Recheck Pressure: After inflating, verify the tire pressure again with the gauge to ensure accuracy.

Access Controls: On the touchscreen, go to 'Controls'.
Select Service: Scroll down and select 'Service'.
Reset Tire Pressure: Choose 'Tire Pressure' then tap on 'Reset'.
Confirm Reset: Follow on-screen instructions to confirm the reset of the tire pressure monitoring system.

4. Test Drive

Drive the Vehicle: Take the vehicle for a short drive (5-10 minutes) to allow the system to recalibrate and check if the warning light turns off.
