Warning light from 06 vibe on the gas gauge

Post by kanata_matrix »

Hey, My friend car is 06 vibe and she show me this picture of the warning light on the gas gauge. I have 04 Matrix so I don't think my gauge has that thing. Any idea? And how to reset it?Thanks

It's the tire pressure warning indicator.

1) Make sure all tires are properly inflated.2) Park on a flat surface3) Press and hold the reset button, with the same picture on it, to the left of the steering wheel below the vent and light controls. - until the warning light goes off.Done - now go have a beer and marvel in your accomplishment!

No and there is no reason to. Wouldn't you want to know if one of your tires is getting low before it went flat? I'm pretty sure everyone would.

I'm pretty sure everyone would.There would be if a tire shop or you screwed up the tpms on the wheel. It would make the light be on continuously unless you spent the 150 to get a new tpms sensor.

Yes, I've "disabled" my TPMS warning light with a 1/2" x 1/2" square of black vinyl electrical tape. When the stock wheels with sensors go back on, I simply "enable" the warning light by peeling off the tape. PlatinumVibe08
