wasn't there just a thread on this?
You press the button on the dash, it will say "tire pressure inactive" on the MID, and then it's off.

Yes, I tried to reset it and nothing happens. Turn the key to #2 position and then hold the button for 15 seconds? I could hold it for 15 hours and nothing happens.

Pushing the button to deactivate it every time I start the car is annoying. I hate how the display on the cluster has the fault arrows on it.

Thanks anyways.

I don't remember if it is 15 second or not,
but the procedure is:

Turn the key to #2 position and then hold the button until the message "SET TIRE PRESSURE" appear on the display. (check page 82 on the manual book).

Pretty sure you need the seat belt engaged before you start the TPM process.

Maybe it's a US spec car thing? The fasten seat belt message will not go away on my car until I engage the belt.
