If the tyre-pressure warning has come on in your DS 5 (2011–2018) after you’ve adjusted the pressures or changed a wheel, this generation uses an indirect system — there are no sensors in the wheels, so you reset it by storing the new pressures and driving. Here’s how.
How the DS 5’s System Works
The indirect TPMS reads wheel-speed data to spot a tyre going soft, so after any pressure change you set the correct pressures and let the car relearn them on the move.
Resetting the System
- Park level and set all four tyres to the correct cold pressures (placard in the driver’s door shut).
- Confirm/reset the tyre-pressure setting in the menu if your DS 5 offers one.
- Drive the car at a steady speed for a few minutes to complete the procedure — the new pressures become the baseline.
If the Warning Stays On
- Recheck every tyre — one below spec keeps the warning on.
- Complete the learn drive — a very short trip may not be enough.
- After a wheel change, make sure pressures are exactly to spec before driving.
- Still showing with correct pressures? A fault may be stored — look it up on autodtcs.com.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I reset the tyre pressure light on a DS 5?
Set the pressures, confirm in the menu if offered, then drive for a few minutes to relearn them.
Does the DS 5 have sensors in the wheels?
This generation uses an indirect, wheel-speed-based system, so there’s no in-wheel sensor battery to fail.
Why won’t the warning clear?
Usually a tyre still below spec, or the learn drive wasn’t long enough.
Do I need a tool?
No — setting the pressures and driving is all that’s needed.
If the warning came on with other lights, decode the code on autodtcs.com.
