The Citroën Berlingo Mk3 (K9, 2018–present) monitors tyre pressures and learns a reference set, so after you inflate or change a tyre you tell it the new values are correct. On most Berlingos you do this through the touchscreen. Here’s how to clear the warning.
The amber tyre symbol on the dash means the current pressures no longer match what the van has memorised. It is a warning rather than a fault: on a working van it usually appears because a tyre has slowly lost air, the weather has turned cold, or you have just had a wheel off. Correct the pressures, re-store the reference, and it goes out and stays out.
How the Berlingo’s System Works
The Berlingo’s under-inflation detection learns your correct pressures as a baseline and then watches for a tyre that falls away from it, rather than displaying a live pressure figure for each wheel. That is why the reset is a two-part job: inflate the tyre and re-store the reference so the van knows the new values are the ones to judge against. Because it is a learned baseline, storing it while a tyre is soft teaches the wrong target — always set the pressures right first.
Getting Ready
- Set the pressures with the tyres cold — first thing, or after only a short drive. A warm tyre reads high and stores a false value.
- Use the figure on the driver’s door-pillar label; the Berlingo often has a higher rear pressure for load, so match the load you are carrying.
- Remember the vans carry different placard figures for laden and unladen — a fully loaded Berlingo needs the higher setting.
- Have the ignition on and the van stationary so you can reach the menu.
Set the Pressures First
Inflate all four tyres cold to the figure on the driver’s door-pillar label, then store the reference.
How to Reset the Berlingo TPMS
- Adjust the pressures, then turn the ignition on.
- On the touchscreen, open the ‘Driving assistance’ menu.
- Select ‘Under-inflation detection’ and choose ‘Initialise’ / ‘Reset’.
- Confirm — the system stores the current pressures as the new reference.
On Berlingos without the touchscreen, the reset is via the on-board-computer menu or a dedicated button — check your handbook for the exact control.
If the Light Stays On
- Re-check every tyre — one low corner keeps the warning on.
- Always re-initialise after inflating or a wheel change — the system needs the new baseline.
- Store with cold, correct pressures only — initialising a warm or soft tyre saves the wrong target.
- Watch for a slow puncture — if a corner keeps dropping over a day or two, look for a nail or a leaking valve; the light will keep returning until it’s fixed.
- Give it a short drive — the van confirms the new baseline on the move, so allow a few minutes before deciding it hasn’t worked.
- Still on with everything correct? A stored fault may be involved — look up the code on autodtcs.com.
What Happens Next
With the pressures correct and the reference stored, the warning clears either at once or within the first few minutes of driving. After that the van measures every tyre against the fresh baseline, so the light only returns if a tyre genuinely drops again. A warning that reappears soon after a reset is worth treating as a real leak rather than resetting a second time.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I reset the tyre pressure light on a Citroën Berlingo?
Set the pressures, then on the touchscreen go to Driving assistance → Under-inflation detection → Initialise. Confirm and the current pressures are stored as the new reference. On vans without the touchscreen the same reset is in the on-board-computer menu or on a dedicated button — check your handbook.
Do I need a tool?
No — the Berlingo stores the reference from its own menu.
Why does the light come on in cold weather?
Pressures drop as temperature falls. Top up to the label figure and re-initialise. A tyre set correctly in mild weather can easily read low on a frosty morning, so this is normal seasonal behaviour rather than a puncture — unless the same corner keeps needing air.
It came on after a wheel change — why?
The reference moved. Re-run the initialisation so the new pressures become the baseline. This applies whether you had a puncture repaired, rotated the tyres, or fitted a spare — the van needs to relearn what “correct” is.
Do laden and unladen pressures matter?
Yes. The Berlingo’s door-pillar label usually lists a higher pressure for carrying a load, especially at the rear. Set the pressures for how the van is actually loaded, inflate cold, then store the reference so the warning is judged against the right figures.
