Perhaps niaively, I'd not heard of tyres being filled with nitrogen. After a quick Google however, seems there are quite a lot of advantages. I'll have to explain to my wife that we now need a nitrogen tank alongside our Raceglaze purified water tank!

Sorry - this has probably been covered before but I can't find the answer...

Both yellow tyre pressure warning lights came on indicating the rear off side tyre was low on pressure...
It looked ok, however, I checked all tyres and set them just right..

As you'll see from my picture the rears are equal and so are the fronts..

I just can't get the warning lights to go off..

Is there a way to reset them or turn them off?

Thanks




Do you need the OPC to swap your speedo? Or are we adopting Km/h in Yorkshire? If it can be changed through button pushing I have missed that completely!!!

Very well spotted B737NGWS, this Macan was indeed a European import...
I have the replacement dial - just trying to find someone decent to replace it...

Unless of course km becomes the new Yorkshire standard....

Back to tyre pressures..

Thanks for everyone's input.

The way I sorted the problem was much as described by Triple7...:

1 Change the tyre size in the menu to the wrong size.

2 Drive around for a bit

3 Change wheel / tyre size back to the correct ones

4 Drive around a bit more

Voila - warning light went out.
