How to Reset the TPMS Light on the 2011 Volkswagen Polo

The orange tyre light indicates that one or more tyres have a pressure below the recommended limit. This can easily be resolved by inflating them correctly or replacing them in case of a puncture. After performing these actions, it is necessary to reset the light and the sensor to obtain new reading data. All you need to do is start the ignition and then fully open the glove compartment on the passenger side. Locate the two buttons in the right corner and press "Set".
