Title: Tyre Pressure Warning
Post by: ILoveTuna on August 18, 2010, 06:52:14 pm
Hi Guys hope someone can help.

On the way home tonight and tyre pressure warning light came on, so pulled over at the next garage and checked the pressures. One of the tyres was down to 30 psi so not flat by any means but got them all back to 2.4 bar anyways.

The issues is the warning light wont go off when i press the set button by the gearstick???  :sad1: :sad1:

Is there some kind of time delay or anything or is there a problem somewhere?

Thanks,

Have you followed the instructions re resetting in the manual? IIRC you turn off ignition, press button, turn on ignition, (can't remember if beep?) but you hold for a period ~ 10s then release, drive off and then the light goes out - simples. Anyway correct procedure in the manual.

Just so you know mine went of on the edition 30 when one of the wheel weights came off, could be worth a check too

Yeah will check that in the morning, although one of the tyres was down a bit so that is probably it. Not sure how sensitively it monitors the pressure?
