In the following situations, the system could be
delayed or malfunction:
1.
Cautiously reduce speed to below 50 mph/
80 km/h. Avoid sudden braking and steer-
ing maneuvers. Do not exceed a speed of

System has not been initialized
50
mph/80 km/h.
Driving on snowy or slippery road surface
In case of further air loss of the defective
wheel, its position will be indicated to you
on the Control Display.
Sporty driving style: slip in the drive wheels,
high lateral acceleration
>
Driving with snow chains*
If the vehicle is not equipped with run-
flat tires as provided at the factory,
refer to page 237, do not continue driving.
Continuing to drive with a flat tire could
cause severe accidents.<
When you are driving with the compact wheel*
the Flat Tire Monitor is unable to function.
Initializing system
The initialization finishes during driving,
which can be interrupted at any time.
When driving resumes, the initialization is con-
tinued automatically. Do not initialize the sys-
tem when driving with snow chains* or with the
compact wheel*.<

3.
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:
>
With a light load:
1 to 2 persons without luggage:
approx. 155 miles/250 km
>
With a medium load:
2 persons, cargo bay full, or
4
persons without luggage:
approx. 95 miles/150 km
>
With a full load:
4 or more persons, cargo bay full:
approx. 30 miles/50 km

6.
Start the engine – do not drive away.
Start the initialization using "Reset".
Start to drive.
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.
The initialization finishes during driving. "Sta-
tus: Flat Tire Monitor active " is displayed again
on the Control Display.
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.
