Default low tire pressure

does anyone know how to get rid of the low tire pressure message? it keeps flashing, along with the change engine oil message. Is there a way to reset them? thanks in advance

yep 40 psi per tire, and I changed the oil a few weeks ago. The change oil soon light has always been on, but the tire pressure light just happened the other day. And it has a chime that goes off 3 times when I start it

the tire pressure i believe is. turn the key to "on" and pull the light switch out just one click 3 times. and then turn the car off. and start it and it should be good to go. mine did that when i put my new rims on. but i could use help with the change oil lightt as well

Why do you have the tires at 40psi? I thought our cars only called for 30-32psi.

thanks for the replys all. I was exploring the site and found a page that explains how to re set all of the messages by using the radio in the 6th gen technical section

MAX means when they are hot such as running at speeds on a highway.

If you are setting them at 40 and the air hasn't even been hot and expanded you risk blowing out that tire on the freeway.
