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.<
Initializing the system
The initialization is completed during driv-
ing, which can be interrupted at any time.
When driving resumes, the initialization is con-
tinued automatically.
Do not initialize the system while snow chains
are attached.<
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 guidelines:

Drive cautiously and do not exceed a
speed of 50 mph or 80 km/h; otherwise,
there is a risk of an accident. In the event of

includes reduced tracking stability in braking,
extended braking distance and altered natural
steering characteristics.

Start the engine – do not drive away.
Start the initialization using "Reset".
Start driving.
The initialization is completed during the trip.
"Status: Flat Tire Monitor active" is displayed
again on the Control Display.
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.<
Indication of a flat tire
The warning lamps come on in yellow
and red. A message appears on the
Control Display. In addition, an
acoustic signal sounds. There is a flat
tire or substantial loss of tire pressure.
Status display
The current status of the Flat Tire Monitor can
be displayed on the Control Display, e.g.
whether or not the FTM is active.
1.
Cautiously reduce speed to below 50 mph
or 80 km/h. Avoid sudden braking and
steering maneuvers. Do not exceed a speed
of 50 mph or 80 km/h.
