With a medium load:
2 persons, cargo bay full, or 4 persons
without luggage:
approx. 94 miles/150 km

With a full load:
4 persons, load compartment full:
approx. 30 miles/50 km

Drive cautiously and do not exceed a
speed of 50 mph or 80 km/h; otherwise,

an accident may occur. In the event of pressure
loss, vehicle handling changes. This includes
reduced tracking stability in braking, extended
braking distance and altered natural steering
characteristics.
If unusual vibration or loud noises occur during
the journey, this may be an indication that the
damaged tire has finally failed. Reduce the vehi-
cle speed and stop as soon as possible. Other-
wise, sections of the tire may come loose and
cause accidents. Do not continue driving and
contact your MINI dealer.

Tire Pressure Monitor
TPM*

The concept

TPM checks the tire pressure in the four
mounted tires during driving. The system noti-
fies you if there is a significant loss of pressure in
one or more tires.

Functional requirement

In order to assure the reliable reporting of a flat
tire, the system must be reset while all tire infla-
tion pressures are correct.
Always use wheels with TPM electronics. Other-
wise, the system may malfunction.

Each time a tire inflation pressure has
been corrected or a wheel or tire has been

changed, reset the system.

System limitations

TPM cannot warn you in advance of sud-
den severe tire damage caused by outside

influences.

The system does not work correctly if it has not
been reset; for example, a flat tire may be indi-
cated even though the tire inflation pressures
are correct.
The system is inactive and cannot indicate a flat
tire if a wheel without TPM electronics, such as a
compact spare wheel

, has been mounted, or if

TPM is temporarily malfunctioning due to other
systems or devices using the same radio fre-
quency.

Resetting the system

Each time a tire inflation pressure has
been corrected or a wheel or tire has been

changed, reset the system.
