Locate the TPMS Reset Button:

Turn the Ignition On:
- Do not start the engine; just turn the key to the "On" position or press the "Start" button without pressing the brake pedal.
Press the TPMS Reset Button:
- Hold the button until the tire pressure light blinks three times, then release it.
Turn Off the Ignition:
- Turn the key back to the "Off" position.
Start the Engine:
- Turn on the engine and allow it to run for a few minutes.
Verify the Light Status:
- Check if the tire pressure light has turned off. If it remains illuminated after driving for a short distance, further diagnostics may be needed.
