It is now quite well known that fuel caps on many models from the Turin manufacturer have a certain defect related to the fact that the internal mechanism is made up of plastic gears: one of the most annoying defects is that the cap tends to open even without a key; many have attempted repairs that, although they remedy this problem, do not make the cap function correctly, as it must be handled with care at all times; the most effective and at the same time decidedly economical solution is to replace the cap with a competitive one, always equipped with a locking key and a dedicated vent valve.

Once the tires have been properly inflated, you can turn on the instrument cluster and navigate through the menu until you find the option that indicates tire pressure: if this screen shows the new values, the light will turn off; otherwise, you will need to drive for a few miles so that the sensors can read the new values and turn off the light afterward.
