What are the steps to reset the MINI tire pressure light?

MINI tire pressure light reset method: First, turn on the ignition switch, then press and hold the tire pressure monitoring reset button. Release the button after hearing a "ding" sound. The tire pressure monitoring system will then store the current normal tire pressure data, automatically clear the previous data, and finally, the warning light on the dashboard will turn off. Tire pressure reset is an operation performed on the tire pressure monitoring system after resolving a tire pressure fault, to reset the system. Tire pressure monitoring involves real-time automatic monitoring of tire pressure while driving, alerting the driver to tire leaks or low pressure to ensure driving safety. There are three commonly used tire pressure monitoring methods: Direct tire pressure monitoring: This method uses pressure sensors installed in each tire to directly measure tire pressure. The pressure information is transmitted from inside the tire to a central receiver module via wireless transmitters, and then the tire pressure data is displayed. The system automatically alerts when tire pressure is too low or there is a leak. Indirect tire pressure monitoring: When the pressure in a tire decreases, the vehicle's weight causes the rolling radius of that tire to become smaller, making it rotate faster than the other wheels. By comparing the rotational speed differences between tires, the system monitors tire pressure. Indirect tire pressure warning systems essentially rely on calculating the rolling radius of tires to monitor pressure. Introduction to Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS): TPMS combines the advantages of both systems mentioned above. It equips direct sensors in two diagonally opposite tires and includes a 4-wheel indirect system. Compared to a full direct system, this hybrid system reduces costs and overcomes the indirect system's inability to detect simultaneous low pressure in multiple tires. However, it still cannot provide real-time data on the actual pressure in all four tires like a direct system.
