Page 154 in the 2026 manual →What should I do when the flat tire monitor warning light comes on?

- Have everyone leave the vehicle and remain in a safe place outside the immediate area, such as behind a guardrail.
- Set up a warning triangle at an appropriate distance if necessary.
What should I do if I lose a vehicle key?
2025–2026
For a lost vehicle key, have an authorized service center, qualified service center, or repair shop disable it and provide a replacement.
When a MINI ID or driver profile was linked to the lost key, the link must be deleted before a new vehicle key can be assigned to that MINI ID or driver profile.
