Puncture - Warning Light

Post by Withnail »

Had an orange warning light ( an exclamation mark ) and car seemed to be pulling to the left. Lo and behold a front nearside flat.

But there is still a warning light even after the spacesaver has been put on. Is this normal ?

Hope someone can put my mind at ease.

To get the warning light to go out you have to reset the system by pushing and holding the reset button for 2 secs until you hear a chime and the light will go out.

You will need to do this again when the original wheel goes back on. You need to reset each time you adjust tyre pressures or move wheels around.

Depending on the age of your car, the button is either in the glovebox or in front of the gearstick.

It's all in the manual.
