Solution

1. Preparation

Ensure the vehicle is parked on a flat surface.
Gather necessary tools: Tire pressure gauge, air compressor (if needed), vehicle owner's manual for recommended tire pressures.

2. Check Tire Pressures

Use the tire pressure gauge to measure the pressure in each tire, including the spare.
Refer to the vehicle's owner’s manual or the sticker located on the driver’s side door jamb for the correct tire pressure specifications.

3. Inflate Tires

If any tire is below the recommended pressure, use the air compressor to inflate to the specified level.
Recheck the pressures to ensure they are accurate.

4. Reset Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)

Turn the ignition to the "On" position without starting the engine.
Navigate to the vehicle settings menu using the infotainment system.
Locate the tire pressure monitoring section and select the option to reset or calibrate the TPMS.
Follow prompts to confirm the reset.

5. Test Drive

Drive the vehicle for a short distance to allow the TPMS to recalibrate and confirm that the warning light has turned off.
