Solution

1. Preparation

Gather necessary tools: tire pressure gauge, air compressor (if needed).
Ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface and is in "Park" mode.

Navigate to 'Service' > 'Tire Pressure'.
Select the option to reset or recalibrate the TPMS.
Confirm the reset action when prompted.

4. Check for Errors

After resetting, monitor the dashboard for any persistent alerts.
If the tire pressure light remains on, recheck tire pressures and inspect for any potential leaks.
