Check the application

Confirm the installed sizes and load setting against the vehicle’s information. An incorrect tire entry can produce an incorrect target pressure. This page intentionally gives no universal PSI value.

For the manual-reset case

STEP 01

Open TPM while parked

Select MENU → Vehicle apps → Vehicle status → Tire Pressure Monitor. Confirm the tire settings, turn on drive-ready state and remain stationary.

STEP 02

Start the reset

Choose Perform reset, then drive only when the tires are safe and the vehicle’s instructions permit it. The display remains gray during learning; successful completion is shown in green. A paused journey can resume learning later.

If the warning remains

Save the exact message and which wheel is indicated. Check whether a reset is incomplete, pressure remains incorrect or the system reports a fault. Do not keep resetting just to remove the warning.

After wheel or tire work

Ask the installer to confirm the tire settings and monitor status. Keep the tire specifications and service invoice with the car so a later warning can be evaluated against the actual installed set.
