To reset the tire pressure indicator on a Kia Optima SXL, inflate each tire to the correct pressure. Next, drive at a speed of 50 mph or higher for at least 10 minutes. Finally, park the vehicle, turn off the ignition, and restart the car. The tire pressure light should then reset.
First, ensure all tires, including the spare, are inflated to the recommended pressure. You can find this information on the driver’s side door jamb or in the owner’s manual. Next, turn the ignition key to the “On” position without starting the engine. Press and hold the TPMS reset button, typically located under the steering wheel, until the TPMS light blinks three times. Release the button and turn off the ignition.
Start the engine to see if the TPMS light has turned off. If it remains illuminated, repeating the process may be necessary. Additionally, driving the vehicle for a short distance may help the system recalibrate.
Once you have reset the Low Tire Pressure Indicator, your Kia Optima SXL will accurately monitor tire pressure again. Understanding how to manage tire pressure can improve safety and enhance vehicle efficiency. In the next section, we will discuss how to check tire pressure properly and its significance.
