MINI Cooper Tyre Pressure Light

The tire pressure light is a signal from your car's tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS), which typically lights up if your tires are low in pressure. The icon is shaped like a flat-bottomed tire with an exclamation mark in the center. If your TPMS light goes on, add air to the tires according to the recommended MINI Cooper tire pressure, which is around 35 psi; refer to your owner's manual to make sure. Low tire pressure may be caused by any number of factors, such as:

• Flat tire

• Puncture

• Leakage

• Extreme heat or cold weather

Sometimes, the TPMS light illuminates if one of the sensors of the system is not working properly. If the light remains on even after the tires have been filled with air, visit our center for further guidance to get it serviced.
