1. Ensure that the vehicle is in the "_park_" position and that the ignition is in the "_On_" position.
2. Locate the "_TPM_" button.
-In _BMW X5 models from 2008 to 2013_, it is typically found in the center console (next to the iDrive controller).
-In _BMW X5 models from 2014 onwards_, it is usually close to the hazard light button on the dashboard.
3. Press and hold the "_TPM_" button for about _5 seconds_. The indicator light on the button should start flashing rapidly to confirm the reset process has begun.
4. Continue holding the button until the indicator light changes from _rapidly flashing_ to _slow flashing_.
-In older models, this may take around 15-20 seconds, while newer models may take up to 30-40 seconds.
-If the light doesn't change to slow flashing, repeat the process.
5. The indicator light will then stay solid for a few seconds before turning off completely, indicating that the _TPM_ has been successfully reset.
6. Start the vehicle and drive it for a short distance (~5-10 minutes or several miles). This allows the _TPM_ system to re-calibrate and detect the current tire pressures.
_After resetting the _TPM_, it's essential to check the individual tire pressures._ Using a _quality tire pressure gauge, ensure each tire is inflated to the recommended pressure stated in your vehicle's owner's manual or on the sidewall of your tires._
-Properly inflated tires provide optimum performance, safety, and fuel efficiency._
>Note: If the _TPM_ indicator light doesn't reset or if you encounter any issues during the process, consult your vehicle's owner's manual or contact your local BMW dealership for assistance.
