The main duty of the TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System) on Mini is to inform the driver whenever tire pressure becomes too low which could curse unsafe driving.
It is a system that works in collaboration with the MINI’s ABS braking system to watch over tire pressure. So whenever there’s tire change, or you adjust your tire pressure, you must reset the TPS system.
So whenever the light is illuminated, it simply shows to inform you that your tires could be underinflated. This could lead to undue tire wear or possible tire failure if neglected.
