HOW CAN WE HELP?

The MINI Digital Key uses "Near Field Communication" (NFC), a mobile standard for wireless data transfer between two devices within a distance of a few centimetres. To unlock the driver's door using the MINI Digital Key, hold the top back of your smartphone or your Apple Watch near the door handle (about 2 cm) until you see a confirmation on your mobile device. To start the engine, place your mobile device in your MINI's smartphone tray and press the Start-Stop button. The MINI Digital Key Plus, on the other hand, uses "ultra-wideband" (UWB) digital mobile technology and Bluetooth®. When you approach your MINI, it is automatically unlocked, starts a welcome scenario and activates all functions for the vehicle start. To start the engine, your mobile device must be in the passenger area. The availability and the range of functions of the MINI Digital Key can vary depending on the country of delivery, the model and the equipment of your MINI and the model and software version of your smartphone.

To reset the tyre inflation pressure in your MINI, select the following in the MINI system:

"My MINI" > "Vehicle status" > "Tyre Pressure Monitor".

Apply the drive-ready state and do not drive off. Then select "Reset" and drive off.

The wheels are shown in grey on the control display and a message "Tyre Pressure Monitor reset is being carried out..." appears.

After a driving time of several minutes, the set tyre inflation pressures are adopted as setpoint values.

Note: The reset is automatically completed while driving.

After successfully completing the reset, the tyres are shown green on the control display and "Tyre Pressure Monitor active.

If the tyres are still displayed as grey after driving, either the system is still performing a reset to measure tyre inflation pressure or there may be a malfunction.
