the controller.
Run-flat tires*
1.
Cautiously reduce speed to below 50 mph/
80
km/h. Avoid severe braking and steering
maneuvers and do not exceed a speed of
50
mph/80 km/h.
If the vehicle is not equipped with run-
flat tires, refer to page 229, do not
continue driving. Continuing to drive with a
flat tire could cause severe accidents.<
2.
3.
At the next opportunity, check the air pres-
sure in all four tires.
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.<
6.
7.
8.
Start the engine, but do not start driving.
Select "Reset" and press the controller.
Select "Yes" and press the controller.
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:
>
With a light load:
1 to 2 persons without luggage:
approx. 155 miles/250 km
>
With a medium load:
2 persons, cargo bay full, or
4 persons without luggage:
approx. 94 miles/150 km
9.
Start to drive.
"resetting FTM …" is displayed.
>
With a full load:
4 or more persons, cargo bay full:
approx. 30 miles/50 km
The initialization finishes during driving.
Indication of a flat tire
Drive cautiously and do not exceed
The warning lamp lights up red. A mes-
sage appears on the Control Display.
In addition, an acoustic signal sounds.
There is a flat tire or extensive inflation pressure
loss.
50
mph/80 km/h or else you run the risk of
causing an accident. 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.<
1.
Reduce speed and stop the vehicle care-
fully. Avoid sudden braking and steering
maneuvers.
2.
Identify damaged tire.
If identification is not possible, con-
tact a BMW center.<
3.
Replace the damaged wheel, refer to
Changing wheels on page 248.
