MINI COOPER The Tire Pressure Monitoring System Light (TPMS)

The purpose of the TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System) on MINI COOPER is to alert you when tire pressure is too low and could to create unsafe driving conditions.

If the light is illuminated, it means your tires could be underinflated, which can lead to undue tire wear and possible tire failure. It’s important to understand the importance of proper tire inflation, and how TPMS can help you maintain your tires.
