How to reset the tire pressure on a BMW 320?
3 Answers
The steps to reset the tire pressure on a BMW 320 are: 1. Use the up and down selection buttons on the light switch to select the tire pressure loss display icon; 2. Press the BC button briefly, then press and hold the BC button; 3. A checkmark will appear below the instrument cluster, and the initialization will be completed after driving at a constant speed for 3 kilometers. The reset can only be performed when the ignition is in position 2 or the engine is idling. The BMW 3 Series is a new generation of sedan products from the BMW Group, with a body weight of 1465 kg, an inline 4-cylinder gasoline engine, dimensions of 4734mm in length, 1811mm in width, and 1455mm in height, a wheelbase of 2920mm, a fuel tank capacity of 63 liters, and a top speed of 218 to 250 km/h.
I just performed a tire pressure reset on my friend's BMW 320, and the process was quite straightforward. First, ensure the car is parked in a safe location, start the engine, and wait for the dashboard to light up. Then, use the steering wheel buttons to navigate to the onboard settings menu, find the tire pressure option under driving assistance or vehicle information. After selecting reset and confirming, you'll need to drive a short distance (about 5 to 10 minutes at a speed above 30km/h) for the system to automatically learn the new tire pressure data. Normally, tire leaks or tire changes will trigger an alarm, so before resetting, check if the tire pressure is normal, use a tire pressure gauge to measure the actual values, and ensure all four tires are consistent, otherwise the alarm may come on again. Regular tire maintenance can avoid this issue, especially in winter when pressure changes are more likely. After resetting, make it a habit to check the tire pressure monthly to extend tire life.
Last time when I was driving my BMW 320, the tire pressure warning light came on. I immediately went to the 4S store for advice and resolved it with a few simple steps. After starting the car, don't rush to drive. Click the settings icon on the central screen, then select the vehicle status or driver assistance menu; enter the tire pressure reset section and click confirm. It will prompt you to continue driving to allow the system to recalibrate; drive at a steady speed for at least five minutes, with the speed not lower than 20 km/h before the sensors start recording data. The light will turn off once the reset is successful, indicating the system has accepted the new settings. It's recommended to regularly check and maintain the tire pressure at the manufacturer's recommended value (for example, the label on the B-pillar might indicate 2.2-2.5 bar) to avoid false alarms caused by rough roads. Tire wear or aging can also affect the frequency of alarms, so resetting after changing tires or inflating is essential for routine maintenance.
