The tyre-pressure warning on your Skoda Kamiq (NW4, 2019–present) comes on when one or more tyres no longer match the reference the car holds — usually after a top-up, a wheel swap, or a cold spell. It is a monitoring alert, not a mechanical fault, and it does not mean a tyre is failing. Once the pressures are correct you store them again as the new baseline. The whole job is done from the driver’s seat: no tool, no jacking, no sensor pairing.
How the System Works on This Model
This generation generally uses an indirect system: rather than a sensor inside each wheel, it monitors wheel speed through the ABS sensors. When a tyre loses pressure it shrinks slightly in rolling diameter and turns a fraction faster than the rest, and that difference is what raises the alert. Because it is a comparison against a stored reference — not a direct pressure reading — you have to re-store the pressures each time you deliberately change them, or the car keeps measuring the new pressures against the old baseline. If your Kamiq shows a live pressure figure for each corner, it has in-wheel sensors instead, and the store step just confirms the correct values.
First, a Few Checks
- Adjust pressures on cold tyres — the car parked a couple of hours, or driven under about two miles.
- Use the figure on the driver’s door-pillar label or fuel-flap, matched to your load and wheel size.
- Set all four corners, plus a full-size spare if fitted.
- Store only once every pressure is right, so you don’t bake in a wrong baseline.
Inflate First
Set all four tyres cold to the door-pillar label figure, then store the reference.
Storing via the Menu
- With pressures set, switch the ignition on.
- Open ‘Car’ / ‘Vehicle’ → ‘Settings’ on the touchscreen.
- Choose ‘Tyres’ → ‘Store tyre pressures’ (SET) and confirm.
Or via the Button
If a physical TPMS button is fitted, set the pressures, ignition on, then hold the button until it confirms.
If the Light Won’t Clear or Won’t Stay Off
- Check every tyre — the system reacts to a single odd corner, so one that reads a few PSI low keeps the warning up.
- Re-store after any change — inflating, deflating, rotating or fitting a different wheel all move you off the stored baseline.
- Cold mornings can drop pressure enough to trip the light overnight; top up and re-store rather than chasing a fault.
- A space-saver or odd-size spare spins at a different rate and can trigger an indirect system until the normal wheel is back on.
- A slow puncture brings the light back within a day or two of storing; have the tyre checked for a nail or a leaking valve.
- On sensor-equipped cars, a flat sensor battery or a damaged sensor holds the light on despite correct pressures — that needs a specialist.
Once It’s Done
Once you confirm the store, the warning should clear straight away, or within a short drive as the system settles on the new reference. It then stays off for the trip and afterwards, as long as the pressures hold. If it clears and returns a few days later, that is the monitor doing its job — something has genuinely changed, so recheck and re-store.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I reset the tyre pressure light on a Skoda Kamiq?
Set all four tyres to the correct cold pressures first, then go to Car/Vehicle → Settings → Tyres → Store tyre pressures and confirm, or hold the TPMS button if one is fitted. Storing tells the car the current pressures are the new normal, and the light goes out once it accepts them.
Any tool needed?
No — the Kamiq stores the reference itself from the touchscreen, so there is nothing to plug in and no need to book it in. A tool only comes into play if the car has in-wheel sensors and one of them fails or is replaced, which is a separate repair rather than a routine reset.
Why does it trigger in the cold?
Air contracts as it cools, so pressures fall a little on a cold night and can drop below the stored reference by morning. That is normal seasonal behaviour, not a leak. Top the tyres back up to the door-pillar figure while they are cold, then re-store, and the light should settle.
It lit after a wheel swap — normal?
Yes. The moment you rotate the tyres or fit different wheels, the rolling behaviour the system had learned no longer matches. Confirm every pressure is correct and run the store step so the new arrangement becomes the baseline, and the warning clears once the reference is updated.
How long before the light goes out?
Usually as soon as you confirm the store, though an indirect system may need a few minutes of driving for the readings to average out before the light drops. If it is still on after a normal drive with all pressures correct, recheck each corner — one low tyre is the most common reason it hangs on.
Can I keep driving with the warning showing?
Treat it as a prompt to check, not to ignore. A steady light usually means a mild deviation, but it can also flag a genuine slow puncture. Pull over when it is safe, look for an obviously soft tyre, and set the pressures at the next opportunity before storing the reference again.
