Page 56 of the manual. Click the OBC on the turn stalk until the tire lite says reset. Press and hold until it changes.
Drive happy.

What they said. First check your pressures though. You may have to pull the key once you get teh light to remain steady to reset it.

No, we don't have a tire pressure monitor. The car monitors tire rotational speed and alerts if a wheel rotates at a different speed (which it should if it is low on pressure).

another piece of advice, practice this routine, you'll have to do it many times over the course of ownership, it gives false alarms all the time. However, I suppose its better to have false alarms than it is for it to miss a low tire. I have direct monitors on my mazda, and 3 times I have had a slow leak in my tires, 2 of those times the monitor was to blame.

False alarms are one of the reasons I got rid of the R/Fs. It would happen so often I quit checking the pressure and just reset it. A rea PITA!!
