Can anyone shed some light on what this symbol means? Appeared on a 1 series dashboard, courtesy car so no manual in the car to help!



Thanks smile

Was on the door still, I'm assuming "2,2" = 22PSI?

Also anyone know how to cancel the warning light on the onboard computer. apparently the instructions on how to do it are in the manual banghead

Thanks guys thumbup

2,2 = 2.2 bar = 32psi.

BMW tyre pressures are in BAR, not PSI.
Try pumping it up and see if the light goes out, if not I'm sure your dealer would be more than happy to advise you.

Somewhere (it was by the handbrake on the MINI) there should be a button with a symbol on it like the one shown, press and hold that in and it will go.

If its the same system as the MINI, obviously.

if you use one of the new type pumps (where to put in what psi you want and it only fills up to that) theres a button to change it to bar

There's something you have to reset once you've refilled it as well I think, from when I had my 5 series anyway. The sensor that checks the pressure needs resetting is what I'm trying to say

yep sometimes it happens even if the tyres are to pressure... had it a couple of times... fill 'em up and then reset as advised (button with teh same symbol as the dash warning light)
