Afternoon all,

I wonder if you can help - I have a 67 plate Kia Stonic and I have just had the front two tyres replaced today.

Since doing so the tyre pressure warning has appeared on my dashboard (see attached)

I have tried following the instructions by holding down the ‘set’ button on the steering wheel but nothing happens and the warning persists.

Has anyone had similar? Or does anyone know how to resolve this?

Thanks guys! (Ps excuse the state of my car with the dust in it!)

On our 16 plate kia ceed, you just have to drive normally for a couple of minutes and the system should reset itself (assuming the pressure is within tolerance). We don't have a reset button on our car though.

Have you checked your tyre pressures?

I have just driven the car for around 40 minutes on the motorway and then got home and turned the ignition off and back on again but the issue is still persisting.

Not really sure how to fix it?

You are pressing the Set button on the steering wheel, but is there a dedicated TPMS set button on the dashboard to press instead?

The Set button on the steering wheel is for the cruise control.
As the poster before me suggested, there will be a dedicated set button for the tyre pressures, probably in the switch panel to the right.

All it does is recalibrate by confirming the pressure is correct, then the system will give a warning if pressure goes a certain amount above or below its current value.

As others have said, you're pressing the wrong button. The TPMS button is dedicated to that function and it's not on the steering wheel. From the Stonic manual PDF page 2 available on Kia's website:
