1, Put the key to position 2 (just before starting)
2, Press and hold the button below the handbrake til the light on the dash changes colour then it will go out when the car is started!

If it comes on while driving check the pressure ASAP, also never trust the pressure readout on a garages tyre inflator, some have been known to be out by 10PSI. A personal one in the boot is a good idea!

Ohh and the GP Replicas are not the best of quality, id personally stay clear of them and go for something better! Dont get me wrong they look awesome on a GP
