How to reset the tire pressure warning light on a 2013 Mini?

Method to reset the tire pressure light on a 2013 Mini: First, press the one-touch start button in the center console to start the vehicle's engine. After starting the engine, press the button on the left side of the steering wheel to enter the tire pressure setting interface. Select the corresponding button on the instrument panel, then press and hold the custom button on the right side of the steering wheel until you hear a beep before releasing. Observe the instrument panel, and you will see that the tire pressure warning light has been cleared. What to do when tire pressure is low: If no damage is visible on the car's tires, simply inflate them to the normal pressure and reset the tire pressure system. If inspection reveals that a tire has been punctured, drive to a repair shop immediately to have it patched before reinflating. If the low tire pressure warning appears again some time after inflation without any punctures, it may be due to air leakage caused by a deformed wheel rim. It is recommended to check the wheel rim and replace it if necessary.

As a 2013 Mini owner, I've also encountered the tire pressure warning light issue. That time, I checked all four tires and found one slightly underinflated. I immediately went to a gas station to measure with a pressure gauge and refilled to the standard value (specific parameters are on the door label), then drove about 10 minutes in city traffic to test. In most cases, the light turns off automatically when pressure normalizes. If not, I'd use the multifunction steering wheel buttons to access the dashboard menu, locate the TPMS option and perform a reset. Mini's tire pressure system is quite sensitive - sometimes minor pressure fluctuations trigger warnings. I recommend keeping a portable car inflator for quick checks to minimize such hassles. Since buying the car new, I've made it a habit to check tire pressure every two weeks - preventive maintenance brings peace of mind against unexpected light alerts.

As a car enthusiast, I've dealt with the tire pressure light on my friend's 2013 Mini. First, make sure the tire pressures are consistent and meet the standard, with no leaks. Then inside the car, use the steering wheel buttons to access the settings menu, navigate to the tire pressure monitoring section, and select the reset function. The Mini system is intuitively designed - it only takes a minute or two. If the light stays on after resetting, the sensor battery might be depleted or worn out. During regular maintenance, avoid parking on hard surfaces that could damage the rims to extend sensor life. Don't panic if you encounter persistent issues - keep an OBD tool handy to read fault codes and help identify the cause, saving you a trip to the repair shop by DIYing it.

The tire pressure warning light is quite common on Minis. First, ensure the pressure in each tire is correct to avoid safety risks. I usually go to a repair shop for a free pressure check and proper inflation. Then, after driving a few kilometers, the light often turns off by itself. The 2013 Mini supports a system reset—just confirm the tire pressure settings via the center console screen. Long-term neglect may accelerate tire wear, so I perform regular maintenance to prevent it.
