Solution

1. Preparation

Ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface.
Gather tools: tire pressure gauge, air compressor (if needed), and access to the touchscreen interface.

2. Inflate Tires

Use the tire pressure gauge to check the current pressure of all tires.
Inflate any tire(s) that are below the recommended pressure to the correct PSI as indicated on the door jamb sticker.
After inflating, allow a few minutes for the TPMS to register the new pressures.

3. Reset TPMS

On the touchscreen, navigate to Controls > Service > Tire Pressure Monitoring System.
Select the option to reset or recalibrate the TPMS.
Follow the on-screen prompts to confirm the reset.

4. Verify Reset

Check the dashboard to ensure the tire pressure warning light has turned off.
If the light remains illuminated, repeat the tire pressure check and reset procedure.
