Resetting the Flat Tire Monitor / Indicator

Resetting your MINI Cooper Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) is a fairly simple and basic process.  Working in concert with the MINI Cooper's ABS brakes system, the TPMS warns you when the tire pressure drops significantly below the recommended pressure for any of your road surface tires.  Therefore, any time you change your tires or even adjust the tire pressure, or your MINI, should also reset your MINI's Tire Pressure Monitoring System.

PLEASE NOTE:  Set all the tire pressures to the recommended pressures.  A sticker attached to the inside of the driver's door frame door will tell you the recommended tire pressures for your MINI Cooper or Cooper S.
