Reset the Tyre Pressure Warning

Last updated: June 6, 2026

After adjusting pressures, rotating wheels or fitting a different set on your BMW 2 Series (G42, 2021–present), you tell the system to learn the new values as its reference. BMW does this through the iDrive screen — no tool required.

Set the Pressures First

Inflate all four tyres cold to the figures on the door-pillar label, then reset. The system memorises whatever is in the tyres at reset time, so get them right first.

Resetting via iDrive

1. Set the correct cold pressures and switch the ignition on.
2. Open iDrive → Vehicle / Vehicle settings → Tyre Pressure Monitor.
3. Select ‘Reset’ / ‘Perform Reset’ and confirm.
4. Drive off — the system establishes the new baseline as you go.

If the Light Stays On

• Recheck every tyre — one odd corner triggers it.
• Always reset after inflating so the reference matches.
• A genuine slow puncture keeps the warning on — inspect before resetting.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I reset the tyre pressure light on a BMW 2 Series?

Set the pressures, then in iDrive go to Vehicle → Tyre Pressure Monitor → Reset and confirm; drive to complete it.

Is a tool needed?

No — the G42 relearns through iDrive and driving.

Why did it light up in cold weather?

Cold air lowers pressure; top up to the label figure and reset.

It lit after a wheel swap — normal?

Yes — reset so the new wheels become the reference.
