When the tyre-pressure warning light comes on in your Hyundai i10 Mk2 (IA, 2014–2019), it usually just means the system needs to relearn your pressures after a check, top-up or wheel change. The i10 has no reset button to press — it relearns automatically as you drive. This guide gives the correct pressures to set and shows how to clear the light if it stays on.
Recommended Tyre Pressures for the i10 Mk2
These are Hyundai’s own figures for the i10 Mk2 (IA). The exact value depends on your tyre size, so the placard in the driver’s door aperture is always the final word — but for the common fitments it works out as:
| Tyre size | Normal load (front / rear) | Full load (front / rear) |
|---|---|---|
| 175/65 R14 | 2.2 / 2.2 bar (32 / 32 psi) | 2.3 / 2.4 bar (33 / 34 psi) |
| 185/55 R15 | 2.2 / 2.2 bar (32 / 32 psi) | 2.3 / 2.4 bar (33 / 34 psi) |
| 155/70 R13 (base steel wheels) | 2.5 / 2.5 bar (36 / 36 psi) | 2.5 / 2.5 bar (36 / 36 psi) |
| Space-saver spare (T115/70 D15) | 4.2 bar (60 psi) | |
Always set them cold — before driving, or after the car has stood a few hours. A warm tyre reads a couple of psi high, so topping up to the figure when hot leaves you under-inflated once it cools. “Full load” means five people plus luggage; for everyday running with one or two aboard, the normal-load figure is right.
How the i10 System Works
The i10 Mk2 uses a direct system with a sensor in each wheel. After a pressure change it simply needs a short drive to read the new values and clear the warning — there is no menu step or button to press.
How to Reset (Relearn) the i10 TPMS
- Make sure all four tyres are at the correct cold pressure (about 2.2 bar / 32 psi for normal load, or the placard figure for your tyre size).
- Start the car and drive normally for about 10 minutes.
- Keep your speed above 25 km/h (15 mph) for as much of that as possible — the sensors report while the wheels are turning.
- The warning light goes out once the system has read all four correct pressures.
Light Won’t Go Out? Work Through This
- A tyre is genuinely low: the system is doing its job — find and fix the leak, re-inflate to the placard figure, then drive again.
- Not driven far enough: give it a continuous 10-minute run above 25 km/h rather than short stop-start trips.
- Light flashes for about a minute then stays on: that signals a sensor fault (often a flat sensor battery, typically after 5–7 years) rather than a low tyre. A code may be stored that you can look up on autodtcs.com.
Frequently Asked Questions
What pressure should the i10 Mk2 tyres be?
On the common 175/65 R14 and 185/55 R15 tyres, Hyundai specifies 2.2 bar (32 psi) front and rear at normal load, rising to 2.3 bar (33 psi) front and 2.4 bar (34 psi) rear for a full car. The base 155/70 R13 steel-wheel tyres take a higher 2.5 bar (36 psi) all round. Your exact figure is on the placard in the driver’s door aperture; always set pressures cold.
Where is the TPMS reset button on an i10?
There isn’t one. The i10 relearns automatically — just set the correct pressures and drive for about 10 minutes above 25 km/h.
Why does the light come back a few days later?
Either a tyre is slowly losing air, or it was a little low when the system last read it. Re-check all four cold pressures against the placard and drive again.
Do I need to reset after just topping up the air?
The system relearns on its own, but a short drive after any adjustment lets it confirm the new pressures and clear the light.
The light flashes then stays on with correct pressures — why?
A flashing-then-steady TPMS light points to a sensor fault, not a low tyre. Have the sensors checked — a flat sensor battery is the usual cause.
After tyre or seasonal-wheel work it is worth confirming the service reminder is clear — see our Hyundai i10 service indicator reset guide.
