Continuing to drive with a flat tire could
cause severe accidents.<

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.<
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:

Start the engine, but do not start driving.
Select "Reset" and press the controller.

With a full load:
4 or more persons, cargo bay full:
approx. 30 miles/50 km
Drive cautiously and do not exceed
speeds of 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.
9.
Start to drive.
The initialization finishes during driving.
Indication of a flat tire
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 the BMW
Sports Activity Vehicle Center.<
The warning lamp lights up red. A
message appears on the Control Dis-
play. In addition, an acoustic signal
sounds. There is a flat tire or extensive inflation
pressure loss.
If you have deactivated DSC, it will be activated
automatically.

Cautiously reduce speed to below 50 mph/
80
km/h. Avoid sudden braking and steer-
ing maneuvers. Do not exceed a speed of

50
mph/80 km/h.
In case of further air loss of the defective
wheel, its position will be indicated to you
on the Control Display.

TPM checks the tire inflation pressure in the
four mounted tires. The system reports when
