The concept
The support of the sidewall allows the tire to re‐
main drivable to a restricted degree in the event
of a pressure loss.
When using snow chains, you should set
whether you are driving with or without snow
chains via the iDrive.
Continued driving with damaged tires, refer to
page 92.
The snow chain detection system supports you
by automatically showing the detected state on
the Control Display.
