    I've been trying to locate the TPMS Reset Button on my 2013 PIP. I've searched and saw that it's near the bottom of the steering column but I didn't see it. Can someone help me out? Maybe a pic? Thanks

    It's WAY down under there. Practically to the brake pedal. I had a hard time finding it the first time, having been used to it being more obvious on my Gen2 Prius. Look with a flashlight :)

    Unless you want to increase (or decrease) the factory or dealer set tire pressure. For example, I run my tires at 42/40, so I reset the TPMS with the tires at those pressures.
