Initialization
What to do in case of a flat tire
Run-flat tires
In the initialization, the set inflation pressures
are adopted as reference values for the detec-
tion of a flat tire. The initialization is begun by
confirmation of the inflation pressures.
With a damaged tire, is possible to continue
driving at speeds of up to 50 mph/80 km/h.
Do not initialize the system while snow chains
are attached.
Do not continue driving if the vehicle is
not equipped with run-flat tires, refer to
page 220; continued driving could result in a
severe accident.<

When continuing to drive with a damaged tire:
1.
Avoid sudden braking and steering maneu-
vers.

Do not exceed a speed of 50 mph/80 km/h.
At the next opportunity, check the air pres-
sure in all four tires.
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.<

acoustic signal sounds. There is a flat
tire or substantial loss of tire pressure.
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.<
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.<
