All you need to do is check the tire pressure on all 5 tires, if it is correct then the light will turn off. Probably your problem is the spare tire. You can remove the spare tire by taking off the little plastic cap under the compartment in the trunk, towards the right side, very close to the back of the car. There is a tool to turn the nut that you will find under the round plastic cap (approx 3") and the spare tire will lower to the ground. I've had the TMPS turn on my car twice and it was always the spare tire. IMPORTANT: Make sure you are not missing the aluminum tire valve caps. Plastic replacements (or none) will cause the warning light to come on.

The tire pressure switch is located in the glove box. To turn it off, turn the car on and hold the switch/button down for 3-5 seconds.

if you filled it to or near the proper pressure and it did not correct itself, you may want to have your sensors looked at or replaced by your local mechanic

The light is due to low tire pressure. Some of the newer models (late 2000's and on) have issues where the low tire pressure light will come on when the tire pressure is fine.

It's an oil pressure warning light, not an oil level warning light. If your oil level gets low enough to cause a drop in oil pressure, you're basically running dry.Take it to a mechanic.

Low oil pressure is serious. The first thing to do is make sure that oil pressure is actually correct. If the pressure is ok, then the most common causes of an oil light staying on is either a loose connection at the oil pressure sensor or a faulty sensor itself.
