Hi folks! Just curious as to whether or not I have to reset the tire pressure monitor/flat tire warning in my iDrive when switching to my winter set-up? I scrolled through the iDrive and found a prompt for the flat tire monitor system and allows you to set the tire pressure and was wondering if this needs to be done when I switch?
Thanks!
Thanks!

Yes, put on your winters, inflate to the suggested psi, then initialize the Monitor. You'll also need to do that every time you change your tire pressure. cheers, Calvin

Every time when one changes tire(s) and or check tire pressures it needs initializing.
