how to reset the tire pressure light on my Volkswagen Golf Eighth Generation (2020-present)

Solution

1. Preparation

• Ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface with the engine off.
• Gather necessary tools: tire pressure gauge and an air compressor (if necessary).

2. Check and Adjust Tire Pressure

• Sub-step 1: Remove the valve stem caps from each tire.
• Sub-step 2: Use the tire pressure gauge to check the pressure in each tire.
• Sub-step 3: If the pressure is below the recommended level, use an air compressor to inflate the tire to the proper pressure.
• Sub-step 4: If pressure is too high, release some air until the correct pressure is achieved.
• Sub-step 5: Replace the valve stem caps securely.

3. Reset the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)

• Sub-step 1: Turn the ignition key to the "On" position without starting the engine.
• Sub-step 2: Press the "Car" button on the infotainment system or dashboard.
• Sub-step 3: Navigate to "Settings" > "Tires" > "Tire Pressure Monitoring."
• Sub-step 4: Select "Reset" or "Calibrate" to reset the TPMS.
• Sub-step 5: Confirm the reset and turn off the ignition.

4. Final Check

• Sub-step 1: Start the engine to ensure the tire pressure light is no longer illuminated.
• Sub-step 2: Drive the vehicle for a short distance to allow the TPMS to recalibrate.
