If the tire inflation pressure in all four
tires is correct, the Flat Tire Monitor
may not have been initialized. The system
must then be initialized.<
Functional requirement
In order to assure the reliable reporting of a flat
tire, the system must have been reset with the
correct tire inflation pressure.
3.
In the event of complete tire pressure loss,
Always use wheels with TPM electronics, as
otherwise fault-free operation of the system is
not ensured.
0
psi/0 kPa, you can estimate the possible
distance for continued driving on the basis
of the following guide values:
Reset the system again after each correc-
tion of the tire inflation pressure and after
every tire or wheel change.<
>
With a light load:
1 to 2 persons without luggage:
approx. 155 miles/250 km
>
With a medium load:
System limits
2 persons, luggage compartment or
cargo area full, or 4 persons without
luggage:
TPM cannot announce sudden serious
tire damage caused by external influ-
ences.<
approx. 94 miles/150 km
The system does not function properly if it has
not been reset, e.g. a flat tire is reported despite
correct tire inflation pressures.
>
With a full load:
from 4 persons, luggage compartment
or cargo area full:
The system is inactive and cannot display a flat
tire if a wheel has been mounted without TPM
electronics, e.g. a compact wheel, or if TPM is
temporarily interfered with by other systems or
devices which use the same radio frequency.
approx. 30 miles/50 km
Drive reservedly and do not exceed a
speed of 50 mph/80 km/h. In the event of
pressure loss, vehicle handling changes. This
includes reduced tracking stability in braking,
extended braking distance and altered natural
steering characteristics.
If unusual vibrations or loud noises occur while
the vehicle is being driven, this can indicate final
failure of the damaged tire. Reduce speed and
stop at a suitable location as soon as possible,
otherwise pieces of the tire could become
detached and cause an accident. Do not con-
tinue driving, but instead contact your BMW
center.<
Status display on Control Display
The tire and system status is indicated by the
color of the tires.
TPM takes the fact that the tire pressure
changes during driving into account. A correc-
tion is only required if requested by TPM with
the color.
Green
The tire pressure matches the learned set state.
"TPM active" is displayed on the Control Dis-
play.
TPM Tire Pressure Monitor*
The concept
A wheel is yellow
TPM checks the tire inflation pressure in the
four mounted tires. The system reports when
the tire inflation pressure has dropped consid-
erably in one or several tires.
Flat tire or a major drop in inflation pressure in
the indicated tire. A message appears on the
Control Display.
