Low tire pressure message
> With a medium load:
2 persons, luggage compartment full, or
4 persons without luggage:
approx. 95 miles/150 km
The warning lamp lights up yellow. A
message appears on the Control Dis-
play. In addition, a signal sounds. A flat
tire or a major air loss has occurred.

ment full:
approx. 30 miles/50 km
1.
Reduce speed and stop the vehicle care-
fully. Avoid sudden braking and steering
maneuvers.
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 occur while the vehicle is
being driven, this can indicate final failure of the
damaged tire. Reduce speed and stop as soon
as possible; otherwise, pieces of the tire could
come loose and cause an accident. Do not con-
tinue driving, but instead contact your BMW
center.<
2.
Check whether your vehicle is equipped
with standard tires or run-flat tires.
You will recognize run-flat tires by a
circular symbol containing the letters
RSC on the side of the tire, refer to
page 199.<
Standard tires
1.
If all four wheels are shown in yellow, iden-
tify the damaged tire on the vehicle.
2.
Replace the damaged wheel or wheels,
refer to Changing wheels on page 209.
The spare wheel is equipped with the neces-
sary TPM electronics and when mounted, will
also be monitored once the system has been
reset.
Malfunction
The yellow warning light flashes and
then lights up continuously. The tires
are shown in gray on the Control Dis-
play and a message is displayed. No flat tire can
be detected. Have system checked.
Have the tire replaced by a BMW center or a
workshop that is familiar with handling TPM and
works according to BMW repair procedures
with correspondingly trained personnel.
A message like this is displayed in the following
situations:

mph/80 km/h.
If TPM is temporarily interfered with by
other systems or devices which use the
same radio frequency.
If the vehicle is not equipped with run-
flat tires, refer to page 199, do not
continue to drive. Continued driving after a
flat tire can result in serious accidents.<
2.
In the event of complete tire pressure loss,
0
psi/0 kPa, you can estimate the possible
distance for continued driving on the basis
of the following guide values:
