Method to cancel the tire pressure monitoring in a Mini: Briefly press the button on the left side of the dashboard until "setinfo" appears, then press and hold to enter. Briefly press until the tire pressure monitoring symbol appears, followed by "reset." Press and hold this button to turn off the tire pressure warning light. The BMW Mini is a compact car with a 3-door, 4-seat hatchback body structure. Its dimensions are 3832mm in length, 1727mm in width, and 1453mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2495mm. It features front-wheel drive, with a MacPherson strut independent front suspension and a multi-link independent rear suspension.
To deactivate the tire pressure monitoring system on a MINI, first start the engine, then press the button on the steering wheel to access the vehicle menu. Locate the tire pressure settings option to reset or turn it off. This usually involves selecting to reset alerts or deactivate the sensors, but I don't recommend permanently disabling it. The tire pressure monitoring system is a life-saving feature in critical moments. Low tire pressure can lead to increased tire wear, higher fuel consumption, and in severe cases, tire blowouts causing accidents. As a mechanic, I've seen too many cases of accidents resulting from ignored warnings. If the sensor is faulty, it's best to have it repaired or replaced at a 4S shop rather than risking turning off the system yourself—safety should always come first. Develop a habit of manually checking tire pressure regularly and keep a portable pressure gauge in the car.
