Solution

1. Preparation

Gather necessary tools: tire pressure gauge, air compressor (if needed).
Ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface and the engine is turned off.

2. Adjust Tire Pressures

Check the recommended tire pressures located on the driver’s side door jamb.
Inflate or deflate each tire to match the recommended PSI using an air compressor or tire gauge.

3. Reset the Tire Pressure Light

Insert the key into the ignition and turn it to the "ON" position without starting the engine.
Locate the tire pressure warning reset button, usually found under the steering wheel or on the dashboard.
Press and hold the reset button until the tire pressure light blinks three times, then release the button. This may take about 3 seconds.
Turn the ignition off and then start the engine. The warning light should be off.

4. Final Check

After the reset, drive the vehicle for a few minutes to ensure the light remains off.
Recheck the tire pressures again after driving to ensure they are stable.
