How to reset the tire pressure on a BMW 525?

[LeAutumn]

When the ignition is turned off, press and hold the "Reset" button. Turn on the ignition. Release the "Reset" button and briefly press the "Clock Adjustment" button once. The tire pressure reset light will indicate that it is in reset mode, and after a few seconds, it will return to the normal view. After the reset is complete, you can check the interval mileage until the next maintenance by pressing the "Clock Adjustment" button 4 times. The multifunction display will show the interval mileage until the next maintenance. There is a tire pressure reset switch on the side of the gear lever.

After driving the BMW 525 for so long, I've figured out a simple method for tire pressure reset. First, turn the key to the power position without starting the engine; then press the menu button on the steering wheel to enter the iDrive system, select "Vehicle Settings," find "Tire Pressure Monitoring," click the "Reset" option, and hold the confirmation button for about 5 seconds. Once completed, the light will turn off. Before resetting, make sure all tire pressures are adjusted to the standard values—check the recommended psi or bar in the manual when the car is cold. If the light remains on after resetting, it might be a sensor malfunction or a tire leak, requiring a professional inspection. Handling such minor tasks yourself saves time and effort, but don't compromise on safety.

Resetting the tire pressure on a BMW 525 is not difficult. I often use this method: After getting in the car, press the brake and push the start button to ACC mode; then use the iDrive controller to enter the main menu, select the "Settings" submenu, scroll to "Tires," and click "Tire Pressure Reset" to confirm. Wait a few seconds for the system to reset. Before resetting, it's best to use a tire pressure gauge to check each tire to ensure the values are correct and avoid false alarms. After completion, take a short drive to allow the system to automatically calibrate. I've encountered situations where the light still flashes after resetting, and it turned out to be a small stone puncturing the tire. It's advisable to keep a portable pump for emergencies.

For vehicle maintenance, I recommend operating the iDrive directly: After powering on, select 'Vehicle Information' from the main menu, then enter the tire pressure settings and click 'Reset'. After resetting, immediately check if the pressure in all four tires is consistent and meets the standard. Otherwise, the system may trigger the warning light again, affecting driving stability. Prolonged neglect could lead to sensor damage and higher repair costs. Safety comes first—resetting is a temporary measure; address any issues promptly.
