In this video, we will see how to reset the tire pressure warning light on a Volkswagen Golf VII: turn on the instrument panel, and through the menu on the on-board computer, look for the "car" button on the touchscreen. Select "settings" and navigate until you find the "tire" option.

From there, select the tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS), and then press SET or "reset". A message will appear like: "Have you reset the pressure?" Press "ok" to start the reset and then drive for 5/10 minutes; the light will turn off after the control unit has recorded the new values.

If the light does not turn off, there may be a slow puncture or a faulty sensor; otherwise, disconnect the battery for 10 minutes (but keep the radio code handy).
