Resetting the tyre pressure warning light on your BMW

BMW has two systems: the indirect Flat Tyre Monitor, common on older cars and those with run-flat tyres, and the Tyre Pressure Monitor, with sensors in the wheels, on most recent cars. Both need a reset after the pressures change.

  1. Set all four tyres to the correct cold pressure.
  2. In iDrive, go to My Vehicle (or Vehicle info) > Vehicle status > Tyre Pressure Monitor (or Flat Tyre Monitor).
  3. Start the engine but don't drive off, then select Perform reset.
  4. Drive off. Above about 19 mph the new pressures are accepted; on the sensor system the tyres turn green on the screen when it's done.

Older cars without iDrive

  1. Use the button on the end of the indicator stalk to scroll to the tyre reset item and hold it, or press the separate RESET button, then drive.

When to reset: Reset after every pressure adjustment and every tyre or wheel change.

Exact menu names on the newest iDrive versions may differ. Check the handbook in the car's menu.

Menu names vary by model and year, so check your handbook if yours looks different. More in what the warning light means.
