BMW serie 3 sport wagon 2002 Manual Do Utilizador

Tire inflation pressures

The specified inflation pressures are
provided on a sticker attached to the
B-pillar and visible with the driver's
door open.

Checking tire pressures

All pressures are specified in the stan-
dard units of pressure for your country,
psi or kilopascal, and apply to cold tires
(tires at ambient temperature, refer to
tire pressure table on the following
page).

Vehicles with Tire Pressure Monitor
(RDC)/Flat Tire Monitor:
After correcting the inflation pressures,
reactivate the system, refer to
pages

Another instruction plate regarding
inflation pressures on the door pillar
indicates which system is equipped on
your vehicle.

Check the tire pressures on a
regular basis – at least twice a

month – and before every extended
journey. Otherwise, incorrect tire pres-
sure can lead to driving instability, tire
damage and accidents.
Remember to check the inflation pres-
sure in the space-saver or standard
spare tire.

Inflate the spare tire to the highest infla-
tion pressure of any tire on your
vehicle.

Comply with tire approval
specifications

The inflation pressures in the table
apply to BMW approved tire sizes and
tire manufacturers. Your BMW center is
familiar with these pressures. Higher
pressures may be specified for tires
made by other manufacturers.

Your vehicle is equipped with tires that
not only meet US standards, but also
European standards. We recommend
the exclusive use of BMW approved
tires.
