Flat Tire Monitor
68n
Activating/deactivating the
system
The system is automatically active in
ignition key position 2 and is therefore
always on during driving.
To deactivate the system: tap the
button, the indicator lamp will light up.
To activate the system: tap the button
again, the indicator lamp goes out.
Deactivate the system while driving
with snow chains, since false warnings
and undetected losses in pressure are
possible under these kinds of condi-
tions.
Flat tire
The indicator lamp in the instru-
ment cluster will flash in the
event of tire pressure loss.
Reduce your speed immediately, and
steer and brake gently as you bring the
vehicle to a stop.
Fixing a flat tire using the M Mobility
system, refer to page 129.
Reset the indicator lamp:
The indicator lamp must be switched
off manually after mounting a new
wheel. To do this, maintain pressure on
the Flat Tire Monitor button until the
warning lamp goes out. Then reinitialize
the system.
The Flat Tire Monitor cannot alert
you to severe and sudden tire
damage caused by external factors.
The Flat Tire Monitor will not identify
the natural loss of pressure in all four
tires,
either.<
Check the tire inflation pressure
on a regular basis and correct if
necessary, refer to page 26.
Under certain circumstances, there
may be false warnings or a delayed
detection of pressure losses when
driving on snow-covered or slippery
road surfaces.
A sporty driving style (slip at the wheels
receiving the torque, high lateral accel-
eration) can lead to delayed Flat Tire
Monitor
warnings.<
System malfunction
As long as there is still a malfunction,
the indicator lamp in the instrument
cluster will stay lit.
Please contact your BMW center for
assistance.
