Today suddenly the warning Lamp for Flat Tire Monitor FTM has lighted on red.
I have read the manual and says that it is when one of the tires is flat or has lost significantly pressure.
When I entered the gas station to check the pressure, all my tires were fine. 2.3 bar pressure the fronts and 2.5 the back.
Before I buy my new Michelin PSS tires, I had issues with the pressure on one front tire and this light never lighted on.
Anyone has any idea what may cause this?

Correct procedure is -
Engine running, car stationary.
Press and hold button until indicator light turns yellow.
Release button and drive off.
System is recalibrating and light will go off in a few hundred metres.

I love this forum
Guys thank you, everything solved like you told me.
As Mike mentions, the car has to be stationary, otherwise the press of the button doesn't do anything.
After some seconds of pressure the red light became yellow and then repressed it once and it turned off.
