Drive-off assistant
System limitations
It is impossible to provide advance warn-
ing of sudden, severe tire damage caused
by outside influences.<
The drive-off assistant enables you to drive off
smoothly on uphill gradients. It is not necessary
to use the parking brake for this.
The system will not detect a natural, uniform
pressure loss in all four tires. Therefore you
should check the inflation pressure regularly.
1.
Hold the car in place by depressing the
brake.
2.
Release the brake and drive off without
delay.
In the following situations, the system could be
delayed or malfunction:
The drive-off assistant holds the car in
place for approx. 2 seconds after the
>

System has not been initialized
Driving on snowy or slippery road surface
brake is released. Drive off without delay after
releasing the brake. Otherwise, the drive-off >
assistant will no longer hold the car in place
Performance-oriented style of driving: slip
in the drive wheels, high lateral acceleration
after approx. 2 seconds and the car will start to
roll backwards.<

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.

The concept
1.
"Vehicle Info"
The system does not measure the actual infla-
tion pressure in the tires.
2.
3.
"Vehicle status"
"Flat Tire Monitor"
The system detects a tire pressure loss due to
speed comparisons among the individual
wheels as you drive.
In the event of pressure loss, the rolling circum-
ference changes and, thus, the rotating speed
of the affected wheel. The system detects this
and reports it as a flat tire.
Functional requirement
The system has to have been initialized at the
correct inflation pressure; otherwise, a reliable
reporting of a flat tire is not assured.
The status is displayed.
Each time a tire inflation pressure has been cor-
rected or a wheel or tire has been changed,
reinitialize the system.

Automotive readers have rated 2011 BMW 3-Series M3 E90 E92 E93 Owners Manual 4.4 out of 5.0 based on 5 product reviews. Great car, need a manual. Don't know how to set door settings.
Hello not quite sure what I can review as I can't download until I have written this
It is a very good car with high efficiency. It required a maintenance activity. I am a human
It was easy to order, easy to use pages etc.
Good to find the manual on the web
