How to turn off tyre pressure warning?. 2004 model

[johnbaltic]

Hi guys

I'm brand new here - so thanks for letting me in to the group

Just bought a Z4 (its an old lady c2004) but lovely thing.

Tyre pressure warning light came on, checked pressure and yep, they needed sorting. Now its done, the light is still on and there is no manual in the car and I'm googled out.

Must be a simple solution

Cheers all

Welcome to the forum.
Ignition to position 2. Press the tyre button in front of the ashtray for about 6 seconds and the yellow tyre warning light should come on. Start up and drive off. The system should reset itself after a mile or two.
Then, pull over, take some nice pics of your car and give us a proper intro. :wink:

Welcome!
Don't think the car has to be off, I just have the car running, press and hold the button till the light goes yellow and then I drive off.

My understanding is the system uses the rolling dimension of the tyre to calibrate itself (rather than actually monitoring the in tyre pressure) so you need to get the pressure correct first otherwise you are setting the car to see the underinflated tyre as "correct"

Not necessarily.
Just not quite right

Is that the E89 manual?
I just checked mine and it advises to start the car, not that it likely makes any difference mind you

This is my E85 manual from 2004. Weird. Doubt it makes a difference though, as long as its at least pos 2.

 

[enuff_zed]

Yup, as the OP stated 2004 I referred to my E85 manual, not my E89 one. oke:

But if both those above are E85 manuals then they must have updated it later on?

Or maybe................... that first one is for E86 owners.
If they can't be trusted with a folding roof then probably best not to confuse them with too many key positions. :rofl:

Oi, that's enough of your prejudice. oke:

Tha handbook is the same as for the E85 owners with no taste. :lol:

Thats nuts :rofl:
But I agree it very much doubt it matters, just make sure the light goes yellow/amber and you should be golden.. or amber
