You have to go into the trip menu, and go down to when it says reset. If you hit that, then drive at a steady speed for a small distance, it will reset the light for you.

Don't do what I did and think...stupid computer, I know I don't have a punction, then discover a week later I do....DOH! Although you've said you have just got new tyres!

hmmmm, mine just turned off after I did that. Possibly a fault with the trip, in which case will mean another "trip" sorry, horrendous pun, to get it looked at!

Its on page 62 on my Manual. I had to do it coming back from the Dealers as they had given me a new tyre and alloy when I found out that one wheel was odd and a recondition job when i got my car home.

1. start the engine but do not drive off
2.briefly press button on the indicator lever repeatedly until you see "set info"
3.keep the button pressed till the display changes. (Press button and keep it pressed till display changes.)
4.briefly press button repeatedly untill the Runflat tyre symbol and reset appear.
5.Press button and keep it pressed till display changes.
6. Drive off (Initialisation when the car is on the move without any feedback) Ie ( take a short drive)
