(RDC) :
After correcting tire inflation pressures,
reactivate the system, refer to
page 101.
Check tire inflation pressures on a
regular basis – at least twice a
month – and before every extended
journey. Incorrect tire pressure can lead
to driving instability, tire damage and
accidents.
Check the inflation pressure of the
spare tire also. Inflate the spare tire to
the highest pressure of any tire on your
vehicle.<
Comply with tire approval
specifications
The inflation pressures in the tables
apply to BMW approved tire sizes and
tire manufacturers. Your BMW center is
familiar with these pressures. Higher
pressures may be specified for tires
from other manufacturers.
Your vehicle is equipped with tires that
not only meet US, but also European
standards. We recommend the exclu-
sive use of BMW approved tires.
