are you sure your tire pressure isn't low? my light came on, i put air in the tire, and it went off immediately.

Inflating my tires to the correct pressure is how I turn mine off. The correct pressure is found in the manual.

If you want to keep them a lower pressure (a day at the track or whatever)...you can turn off the warning light by going into your options (the scrollable options on your dash).

Go to the screen that says initial tire pressure.
Press and hold the button to set the desired pressure to what it is now.

But still know that your tires are below what they should be.

I think page 283 in your manual explains how to reset this. Mine came on this week as well...due to the colder temps...I just made sure my fronts were at 35psi and rears at 37psi.

What pressure did you put in your tires? Did you use a gauge?

Yes that's the recommended pressure - measured cold! There's a label on the rear of the driver side door jam stating the recommended pressure.
