Indication of a flat tire
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.<
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.
What to do in case of a flat tire
Run-flat tires
Tire Pressure Monitor TPM*
With a damaged tire, is possible to continue
driving at speeds of up to 50 mph/80 km/h.
The concept
Check the inflation pressure in the four installed
tires. The system notifies you if there is a signif-
icant loss of pressure in one or more tires.
Do not continue driving if the vehicle is
not equipped with run-flat tires, refer to
page 223; continued driving could result in a
severe accident.<
Functional requirement
When continuing to drive with a damaged tire:
The system has to have been reset at the cor-
rect inflation pressure; otherwise, a reliable
reporting of a flat tire is not assured.
1.
Avoid sudden braking and steering maneu-
vers.
2.
3.
Do not exceed a speed of 50 mph/80 km/h.
Always use wheels with TPM electronics to
assure a trouble-free function of the system.
At the next opportunity, check the air pres-
sure in all four tires.
Each time a tire inflation pressure has
been corrected or a wheel or tire has been
changed, reset the system.<
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.<
System limitations
Possible travel distance with complete tire
pressure loss:
It is impossible to provide advance warn-
ing of sudden, severe tire damage caused
by outside influences.<
>
With a light load:
1 to 2 persons without luggage:
Approx. 155 miles/250 km
The system does not function correctly if it has
not been reset. For example, a flat tire may be
indicated even though the tire inflation pres-
sures are correct.
>
With a medium load:
2 persons, cargo area full, or 4 persons
without luggage:
The system is inactive and cannot indicate a flat
tire:
Approx. 94 miles/150 km
>
With a full load:
4 or more persons, cargo area full:
Approx. 30 miles/50 km
>
when a wheel without TPM electronics is
installed.
>
when other systems or devices that use the
same radio frequency interfere with TPM.
Drive cautiously and do not exceed a
speed of 50 mph/80 km/h.
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.<
