TPMS Reset Procedures

NOTE: If a tire pressure has been adjusted to a new value, or a wheel, tire, or tire pressure sensor has been replaced, the TPM system must be reset.

CAUTION: When a low inflation pressure is indicated, DSC (Dynamic Stability Control) is switched on, if necessary.

CAUTION: When driving with snow chains, DO NOT reset the system.

CAUTION: The system is inactive and cannot display a flat tire if a wheel has been mounted without TPM electronics or if TPM experiences temporary interference from other systems or devices that use the same radio frequency.

NOTE: The reset process finishes during driving, which can be interrupted at any time. When driving resumes, resetting is continued automatically.

Resetting the system using iDrive:

Set the tire pressure of all wheels to specification.
On iDrive Control Center, select MY VEHICLE.
Select VEHICLE STATUS.
Select TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR.
Start the engine, but do not begin to drive.
Select PERFORM RESET.
Drive vehicle. The tires are shown in gray and "Resetting TPM..." is displayed.
After driving faster than 19 mph/30 km/h for a short period, the set tire inflation pressures are accepted as reference values. The reset is completed automatically while driving. After a successfully completed reset, the wheels on the Control Display are shown in green and "Tire Pressure Monitor Active. See Label For Recommended Pressures" is displayed.

NOTE: If there is a problem resetting and applying the tire inflation pressures, all tires are shown in yellow on the Control Display, and a message is displayed.
