Map Light and Low Tire Pressure Warning

Hi All;
A couple of things have happened over the last few days.
This evening, when I started my car (hadn't been driven since yesterday afternoon) both map lights were illuminated. I had to manually turn them off.
The other thing thing was that the LTP warning light and chime came on. I haven't checked the tyres with my gauge yet but they appear to all be properly inflated although it has been quite cold recently. I did have one wheel replaced a few weeks ago.
I have a 2012 MINI Cooper with 18,000 Km on it.
Thank you for your help in advance.

Over x-mas, it was below freezing and I had the TPMS light come on as well. I just reset it and it didn't come back.

My map lights have done that too a couple times but I definitely did not turn them on the night before. I think I'd remember reaching behind my head to press two little buttons on the ceiling.

I don't know why it happens but I wish they would always turn on with the dome light.
