Reset the Tyre Pressure Warning

Last updated: June 6, 2026

After adjusting pressures or changing a wheel on your Volvo XC40 (536, 2017–present), you store the new values as the system’s reference from the centre touchscreen. No tool needed.

Set the Pressures First

Inflate all four tyres cold to the door-pillar label figures, then store — the system takes whatever is in the tyres at that moment as ‘correct’.

Storing the Pressures

1. With the engine off, adjust the tyre pressures to the label values.
2. Start the engine.
3. On the centre touchscreen, select ‘Car status’ → ‘Tyre pressure’ → ‘Store tyre pressures’ and press OK.
4. Drive for about 10 minutes, exceeding 35 km/h (22 mph) where safe — the system is then reset.

If the Light Stays On

• Recheck every tyre — one low corner triggers it.
• Complete the drive cycle — the reset needs the short run.
• A genuine slow puncture keeps the warning on — inspect before resetting.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I reset the tyre pressure light on a Volvo XC40?

Set the pressures, start the engine, then Car status → Tyre pressure → Store tyre pressures → OK, and drive ~10 minutes above 35 km/h.

Is a tool needed?

No — the XC40 stores the reference itself.

Why did it light up in cold weather?

Cold air lowers pressure; top up to the label figure and re-store.

It lit after a wheel change — normal?

Yes — store the new pressures so they become the reference.
