Resetting the tyre pressure warning light on your Land Rover
Land Rovers with a warning system have sensors in each wheel; you can spot them by the metal valve with a lock nut. All new Land Rovers have had one since 2014. The classic Defender (up to 2016) and older models such as the Discovery 1 and 2 and Freelander 1 don't have one at all.
- Inflate all four tyres, cold, to the label pressures for the load you're carrying.
- There's no reset button. Drive above about 16 mph and the warning should clear within about 5 minutes.
- If your car has a load setting (Vehicle Info > Tyre Information > TPM Load Setting), set it to match: Normal (light) or Heavy.
When to reset: No reset needed. After changing a wheel or tyre, leave the car parked for 15 minutes so the system can pick up the change.
Menu names vary by model and year, so check your handbook if yours looks different. More in what the warning light means.

Put your reg in and we'll show the figures for your exact car, including the wheel size it left the factory on.
What tyre pressure should a Discovery Sport PHEV have?
35 psi at the front and 30 psi at the rear (2.4 and 2.1 bar) on the standard 18-inch wheels, with the tyres cold. Larger optional wheels use slightly different figures — see the table above.
Should I use a higher pressure when the car is loaded?
The manufacturer gives one figure for this car, so no. If you're carrying a full load for a long motorway run, the label on the door pillar may show a higher figure — follow that if it does.
What tyre size does the Discovery Sport PHEV use?
235/60R18, 235/50R20 or 235/55R19, depending on the wheels it was ordered with. The size is on the tyre's sidewall, e.g. 235/40R18.
Check them cold. Pressures are set for tyres that haven't been driven more than a mile or two. After a run they read 3–4 psi high.
Once a month, and before a long trip. Tyres lose about 1 psi a month on their own.
The sticker wins. If your car's door-pillar or fuel-flap label says something different, go with that — it knows your exact spec.
