At the next opportunity, check the air pres-
sure in all four tires.
If all four tires are inflated to the cor-
rect pressures, the Flat Tire Monitor
might 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 distance
for which you can continue driving on the
basis of the following guidelines:

Drive cautiously and do not exceed a
speed of 50 mph/80 km/h; otherwise,
there is a risk of 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 vibration or loud noises occur during
the journey, this may be an indication that the
damaged tire has finally failed. Reduce your
speed and pull over as soon as possible at a
suitable location. Otherwise, parts of the tire
could come loose, resulting in an accident. Do
not continue driving. Instead, contact your
BMW center.<

Start driving.
Initialization is completed while the car is on
the move, without any feedback.
