Label
Do not initialize the Flat Tire Monitor after
mounting snow chains, as doing so may result
in incorrect readings.

Maximum speed with snow chains

Snow chain detection*
The concept
The support of the sidewall allows the tire to re‐
main drivable to a restricted degree in the event
of a pressure loss.
When using snow chains, you should set
whether you are driving with or without snow
chains via the iDrive.
Continued driving with damaged tires, refer to
page 96.
The snow chain detection system supports you
by automatically showing the detected state on
the Control Display.
Changing run-flat tires
For your own safety, only use run-flat tires. No
sparetireisavailableinthecaseofaflattire.Your
authorized dealership will be glad to advise you.
When snow chains are in use, the rear axle steer‐
ing of the Integral Active Steering* is deacti‐
vated automatically.
At speeds above the maximum allowable speed
with snow chains of 30 mph/50 km/h, the rear
axle steering is activated again automatically.
