Functional requirement
All wheels yellow
In order to assure the reliable reporting of a flat
tire, the system must be reset while all tire infla-
tion pressures are correct.
There is a flat tire or substantial loss of tire pres-
sure in several tires. A message appears on the
Control Display.
Always use wheels with TPM electronics. Oth-
erwise, the system may malfunction.
Gray
The system cannot detect a puncture.
Possible reasons for this:
Each time a tire inflation pressure has
been corrected or a wheel or tire has been
changed, reset the system.<
>
>
TPM is being reset
Temporary malfunction caused by systems
or devices using the same radio frequency
System limitations
TPM cannot warn you in advance of sud-
den severe tire damage caused by out-
side influences.<
>
Malfunction
Resetting the system
The system does not work correctly if it has not
been reset; for example, a flat tire may be indi-
cated even though the tire inflation pressures
are correct.
Each time a tire inflation pressure has
been corrected or a wheel or tire has been
changed, reset the system.<
iDrive, for operating principle refer to page 16.
The system is inactive and cannot indicate a flat
tire if a wheel without TPM electronics, such as
a compact spare wheel, has been mounted, or if
TPM is temporarily malfunctioning due to other
systems or devices using the same radio fre-
quency.

"Reset TPM"
Status indicator on the Control Display
The color of the tires represents the status of
the tires and the system.
TPM takes into account that tire pressures
change while the vehicle is being driven. The
tire pressures do not need to be corrected
unless the TPM instructs you to do so by means
of color indicators.

Green
Start to drive.
The tire inflation pressure corresponds to the
established target value.
The tires are shown in gray and "Resetting
TPM..." is displayed.
"TPM active" appears on the Control Display.
After driving a few minutes, the set inflation
pressures in the tires are accepted as the target
values to be monitored. The system reset is
completed during your drive, and can be inter-
rupted at any time. When driving resumes, the
reset is continued automatically. On the Control
Display, the tires are shown in green and
"Status: TPM active" is displayed again.

I need to find out more about my 323i.
I'm having computer cluster.
The 2009 BMW 3-Series is an enthusiast's dream, yet not-quite-perfect safety ratings, smallish rear seats, and some fussy controls might wrinkle potential buyers' noses
