Press and hold the TPMS reset button until the tire pressure warning light blinks three times, then release the button.
Start the engine.
- The TPMS light should turn off after a few minutes of driving, confirming the reset was successful.

3. Final Check

After resetting, monitor the tire pressures again after a short drive to ensure the warning light remains off.
