Wierd Tire Pressure Indicator not in owner's manual

On the way to work this morning I received an icon on my tach/computer readout on my Countryman ALL4 2014 that had a picture of the top of the car with arrows pointing at all four tires - red. The Low Tire Pressure yellow "cup with exclamation point" light was on on the large central speedometer. So I guess I have a running flat. Anyway, getting it fixed this morning BUT...

The icon on the tach shows up NOWHERE in the manual that I have or the online manuals. Since it has four arrows one pointing toward each wheel it seems to indicate that all four tires are flat??? Or does it just show that instead of indicating which tire is flat (which would be extremely helpful)? Why doesn't the manual show what the heck this means?

Well, mystery solved. All 4 tire pressures were a little low, mostly due to temperature change with Fall.

So that icon that's not noted anywhere in the world showed all four tires low as it should. Put some air in and as I was driving back to work, all but one turned off, then the last one - SO

GOOD: nice computer display shows you which tires are low
BAD: Owner's manual sucks.

+1 on the weather change, you will get an all four triangle ( pointing to tires ) on the display when the temp changes from warm weather to cool really quick.

Mine dipped down to 28 pounds and that set them off. Pumped with air back up ~32.5 and then did the TPSM reset procedure and drive till the reset confirm.

I keep this just encase the sensor if off or the gauge on the pumps are incorrect.
