Tire Pressure Monitor (RDC)

In the event of a flat tire

If there is a tire failure with loss of pres-
sure, the indicator lamp comes on with
a red lamp. In addition, an acoustic
signal is sounded.

If this occurs, reduce vehicle speed
immediately and stop the vehicle in a
safe location. Avoid hard brake applica-
tions. Do not oversteer. Replace the
wheel and flat tire.

The space-saver spare tire is
provided for temporary use only in

the case of a tire failure. It does not
have RDC electronics and is not moni-
tored. The spare tire

that has the same

dimensions as the tires already
mounted on the vehicle is equipped
with the necessary RDC electronics
and will be also monitored once the
tires have been mounted and the
system activated.

RDC cannot alert you to severe
and sudden tire damage caused

by external factors.

Have the tires changed by your
BMW center.

Your BMW center has the information
needed for working with RDC and is
equipped with the necessary special
tools.

System interference

Local devices using the same radio
frequency can interfere with RDC.

The yellow indicator lamp will come on
during the malfunction.

The indicator lamp also comes on

in the event of a system fault

if a wheel is mounted without the
appropriate electronics

if, in addition to the spare tire, addi-
tional wheels with RDC electronics
are on board.

Please contact your BMW center for
additional information.
