Solution

1. Preparation

Ensure all tires are inflated to the correct pressure.
Park the vehicle on a level surface and turn off the engine.
Gather necessary tools: tire pressure gauge, air compressor (if needed).

2. Reset Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)

Ignition Position: Insert the key into the ignition or press the start button to turn the vehicle to the "On" position without starting the engine.
Locate TPMS Reset Button: Find the TPMS reset button, usually located under the steering wheel or near the driver's side footwell.
Press and Hold: Press and hold the TPMS reset button until the tire pressure light blinks three times, then release it.
Start the Engine: Start the engine and wait for a few minutes. The tire pressure light should turn off if the system has been reset successfully.

3. Final Check

After resetting, check to see if the tire pressure light remains off after driving for a short distance.
If the light does not turn off, repeat the reset process and ensure all tire pressures are correct.
