What to do in case of a flat tire
Run-flat tires
For operating principle refer to page 65.
With a damaged tire, is possible to continue
driving at speeds of up to 50 mph/80 km/h.
1.
Start the engine immediately before pulling
away, but do not drive off yet.
Do not continue driving if the vehicle is
not equipped with run-flat tires, refer to
page 120; continued driving could result in a
severe accident.<
When continuing to drive with a damaged tire:
1.
Avoid sudden braking and steering maneu-
vers.
2.
3.
Do not exceed a speed of 50 mph/80 km/h.
At the next opportunity, check the air pres-
sure in all four tires.
2.
Briefly press the button 1 in the turn signal/
high beam lever repeatedly until the corre-
sponding symbol and "RESET" appear.
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.<
3.
4.
Press button 2 to confirm your choice of the
Flat Tire Monitor.
Press button 2 for approx. 5 seconds, until
the reading shown below is displayed:
Possible travel distance with complete tire
pressure loss:
>
With a light load:
1 to 2 persons without luggage:
approx. 155 miles/250 km
>
With a medium load:
2 persons, cargo area full, or 4 persons
without luggage:
approx. 90 miles/150 km
>
With a full load:
4 persons, cargo area full:
approx. 30 miles/50 km
5.
Start driving.
Drive cautiously and do not exceed a
speed of 50 mph/80 km/h.
The initialization is completed during driv-
ing, which can be interrupted at any time.
When there is a tire pressure loss, the handling
characteristics change, e.g. there will be
reduced directional stability during braking,
braking distances will be longer, and self-steer-
ing response will change.<
When driving resumes, the initialization is con-
tinued automatically.<
Indication of a flat tire
The warning lamps come on in yellow
and red. In addition, a signal sounds.
There is a flat tire or substantial loss
of tire pressure.
Vibrations or loud noises during driving
may indicate the final failure of the tire.
Reduce your speed and bring the vehicle to a
stop; otherwise, tire components may become
detached, which could result in an accident. Do
not continue driving; instead, contact your
BMW center.<
