Turn Ignition ON:
- Without starting the engine, turn the ignition key to the "ON" position.
Press and Hold the TPMS Reset Button:
- Press and hold the TPMS reset button until the tire pressure light blinks three times, then release the button.
Start the Engine:
- Start the engine and let it run for a few minutes.
Check for Light Reset:
- The tire pressure warning light should turn off after a few minutes of driving. If it remains on, repeat the process.

3. Verify Tire Pressures

After resetting, use the tire pressure gauge to check all tire pressures once more to ensure they are correctly set.
