Technology for driving comfort and safety

62

The Tire Pressure Monitor can be reset by

selecting "RESET".

5. Press and hold the button until "RESETTING"

is displayed.

6. Start driving.

After driving a few minutes, the set inflation

pressures in the tires are accepted as the tar-

get values to be monitored. The system

reset is completed during your drive, and

can be interrupte d at any time. When driving

resumes, the reset is continued automati-

cally. The indicator lamp goes out after the

system reset is completed.

Message for low tire inflation pressure

The warning lamps come on in yellow

and red. An acoustic signal also sounds.

There is a flat tire or substantial loss of

tire pressure.

1. Reduce speed and stop the vehicle with cau-

tion. Avoid sudden braking and steering

maneuvers.

2. Check whether your vehicle is equipped

with normal tires or run-flat tires.

The symbol identifying run-flat tires is

a circle with the letters RSC on the

sidewall, page 103.<

Normal tires

1. Determine which tire is damaged.

If this cannot be determined, contact

your MINI dealer.<

2. Repair the flat tire or change the damaged

tire, refer to page 121.

Run-flat tires*

1. Cautiously reduce speed to below 50 mph/

80 km/h. Avoid sudden braking and steering

maneuvers. Do not exceed a speed of

50 mph/80 km/h.

Do not continue driving if the vehicle is

not equipped with run-flat tires; oth-

erwise, a serious accident could result.<

2. In the event of complete tire pressure loss,

0 psi/0 kPa, you can estimate the possible

distance for continued driving on the basis

of the following guidelines:

> With a light load:

1 to 2 persons without luggage:

approx. 155 miles/250 km

> 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/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.<
