1. Preparation

Gather necessary tools: tire pressure gauge.
Ensure you are parked on a flat surface with the vehicle turned off.

2. Adjust Tire Pressure

Sub-step 1: Use the tire pressure gauge to check the pressure of all tires.
Sub-step 2: Inflate any under-inflated tires to the recommended pressure (found on the driver’s door jamb sticker).
Sub-step 3: If any tires are over-inflated, release air until they reach the correct pressure.

3. Reset the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)

Sub-step 1: Turn on the vehicle without starting the engine by pressing the brake pedal and then the "Start" button.
Sub-step 2: On the touchscreen, navigate to 'Service' > 'Tire Pressure Monitoring'.
Sub-step 3: Select 'Reset' to clear the warning light and recalibrate the TPMS.

4. Confirmation

Sub-step 1: Drive the vehicle for a short distance (approximately 10-15 minutes) to allow the system to verify tire pressures and confirm the reset.
Sub-step 2: Check the dashboard to ensure the tire pressure warning light has turned off.
