There is a flat tire or a major loss in tire inflation
pressure.
▷
With a full load: 4 people, trunk full: approx.
30 miles/50 km.
If there is minor tire damage, especially on the
tire tread, the distance that you can travel with
the damaged tire can be extended.
1.
Reduce your speed and stop cautiously.
Avoid sudden braking and steering maneu‐
vers.
After notification, inflate the damaged tire to a
maximum of 3.5 bar at the next opportunity.
2.
Check whether the vehicle is fitted with reg‐
ular tires* or run-flat tires*.
Do not reinitialize the Flat Tire Monitor. The ex‐
isting flat tire notification will continue to act as
a reminder of the defective tire. The procedure
can be repeated several times.
Run-flat tires are labeled with a circular sym‐
bol containing the letters RSC marked on
the tire sidewall.
Normal tires*
Continued driving with a flat tire
1.
Identify the damaged wheel.
Drive moderately and do not exceed a
speed of 50 mph/80 km/h.
If an identification is not possible, please
contact the service center.
A loss of tire inflation pressure results in a
change in the handling characteristics, e.g., re‐
duced lane stability during braking, a longer
braking distance and altered self-steering prop‐
erties.◀
2.
Check the air pressure in all four tires at the
next opportunity.
If the tire inflation pressure in all four tires is
correct, the Flat Tire Monitor may not have
been initialized. In this case, initialize the
system.
Final tire failure
Vibrations or loud noises while driving can
indicate the final failure of the tire. Reduce speed
and stop; otherwise, pieces of the tire could
come loose and cause an accident. Do not con‐
tinue driving, and contact your service center.◀
Run-flat tires*
1.
Carefully reduce your speed to a maximum
of 50 mph/80 km/h.
Avoid sudden braking and steering maneu‐
vers.
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.
Do not exceed a speed of 50 mph/80 km/h.
Do not continue driving without run-
flat tires

Automotive readers have rated 2011 BMW 5-Series 528i 535i 550i F10 Sedan Owners Manual 3.5 out of 5.0 based on 4 product reviews. Don't have any comments before seeing it. Lovely website though,
Holy crap, I didn't see anything to review yet.
Name and email states optional but its not
The GPS does not street names as you go
Does this manual also apply to the 2012 model?
