How to Check the Tire Pressure in a MINI Cooper

It is important to periodically check your MINI Cooper tire pressure. You can use a tire pressure gauge which can be purchased at most auto parts stores and hardware shops in the St Louis Park area. If you don’t have a tire pressure gauge, you’ll find that most gas stations will have air hoses with a tire pressure gauge attached. To check your MINI Cooper tire pressure just unscrew the cap on the valve stem on each tire, carefully insert the gauge, and adjust the pressure as needed.

How to Reset Tire Pressure on a MINI Cooper

All new MINI Cooper models come equipped with a Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) that will alert you if and when your MINI Cooper tire pressure is outside of the recommended range. If the TPMS light is activated, it means that one or more of your tires is either under or over inflated.

Are your MINI dashboard warning lights indicating an issue with the TPMS? You should check your tire pressure as soon as possible. Once you have addressed the problem by adding or releasing air from your tires, your TPMS light should reset automatically. If it doesn’t you may need to manually reset it. Here’s how to reset tire pressure on a MINI Cooper:

1. Start the engine and push the button on the end of the turn signal lever until “SET/INFO” is displayed in the dashboard vehicle message center next to your odometer display.
2. Press and hold the button until the message changes and continue scrolling through messages by pushing the button until you see the tire monitor symbol and reset is displayed.
3. Press and hold the button until the display changes.
4. The vehicle is now ready to recalibrate the TPMS system on your next drive. After a few minutes of driving, the system will calibrate to the newly-installed or adjusted tires and properly set the pressures to be monitored.
