Friends: 0 |  What does the SET button under dash do? What does the button under the drivers side of the dash marked "SET" do? I pushed it and nothing happened.  Not that I was expecting anything. Just curious what it sets. |

Friends: 2 | Re: What does the SET button under dash do? This "RESET" button is important if you modify your tire pressures. For example, if you were to increase your tire pressures from, let's say 35psi front and 34psi rear, to 41psi front and 40psi rear, that would mean an increase in pressures of 6psi each tire. To the best of my memory, the TPMS warning light/symbol are triggered at a pressure of 7psi lower than that of the tires memorized pressure. If this were the case, at your current NEW tire pressures (each tire having been raised by 6psi), the next time you started your car, you'd get a Low Pressure warning, because the TPMS was set to alarm at 28psi front and 26psi rear, and your NEW values are now 13psi above your current set Low Pressure warning value, therefore, you'll get a WARNING! What the "SET" button does, is to teach the system a new alarm point whenever pressures are changed. Best I remember, set the NEW cold tire pressures, turn the car OFF, turn it back ON, Press the "SET" button and hold it for 3 seconds-I believe until the TPMS light begins to blink, let up the button and turn OFF the Power...your NEW tire pressure warning is now set (Initialized) to alarm at 34psi instead of 28psi.
