How to Reset Tyre Pressure VW Tiguan

To reset the tire pressure warning system on a Volkswagen Tiguan, you can follow these steps. The process may vary slightly depending on the model year, but these general steps should work for most versions.

1. Reset Tyre Pressure VW Tiguan: Check Tire Pressure: Before resetting the system, make sure that the tire pressures are correctly set. You can find the recommended tire pressure values on the sticker inside the driver’s side door frame (or the owner's manual). Use a tire pressure gauge to check all four tires, including the spare if applicable.

2. Turn on the Ignition: Insert the key fob into the ignition and turn it to the "ON" position without starting the engine. On some models, you may just need to press the "Start" button without pressing the brake pedal.

3. Access the Tire Pressure Menu:

   • On the VW Tiguan with a MIB (Modular Infotainment Platform) system (from around 2017 onward), use the "Car" button or go into the "Vehicle Settings" from the main menu on the infotainment screen.
   • On older models, you might need to use the buttons on the steering wheel or the infotainment screen to find the "Tire Pressure Monitoring System" (TPMS) menu.

4. Select the Tire Pressure Reset Option: Look for an option such as “Reset,” “Store,” or “Set Pressure”. It may be under a "Tire Pressure" or "Vehicle Settings" submenu. If you can't find the exact option, refer to the user manual specific to your model.

5. Confirm the Reset: After selecting the reset option, the system will prompt you to confirm. Press “OK” or confirm the selection using the touch screen or steering wheel controls.

6. Drive the Vehicle: The system should be reset once confirmed. However, some models require the vehicle to be driven for a short distance (about 10 minutes) at speeds above 15 mph (24 km/h) for the reset to take effect. This allows the system to calibrate the sensors and detect the proper tire pressure.

7. Check the Dashboard Light: Once the reset is complete, the tire pressure warning light should turn off. If it remains on, double-check that the tire pressures are correct, and repeat the reset process. If the light still stays on after resetting, it could indicate a malfunction with the TPMS system, in which case you may need to visit a mechanic.

Note: The process for resetting the tire pressure system may vary slightly depending on the model year of your Tiguan. Always refer to the vehicle's owner's manual for specific instructions tailored to your car.
