Tire Pressure Monitor (RDC)

Adaptive brake light

Flat tire

If there is a tire failure with a loss of
inflation pressure, the red indicator
lamp comes on or the message "TIRE
DEFECTIVE" appears in the Check
Control. In addition, a gong sounds.

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 flat
tire.

The spare tire which is available in
your vehicle as standard equip-

ment is equipped with the electronics
required for RDC and, following activa-
tion of the system, is also monitored
after it is mounted.

RDC cannot alert you to severe
and sudden tire damage caused

by external factors.

Have the tires changed at your
BMW Sports Activity Vehicle

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

System malfunction

During the period of the malfunction,
the yellow indicator lamp comes on or
the message "TIRECONTROL INAC-
TIVE" appears in the Check Control.

You will also see the same message

in the event of a system malfunction

if a wheel is mounted without the
RDC electronics

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

Please contact your BMW Sports
Activity Vehicle center for additional
information.

The adaptive brake light (in preparation)
provides drivers of following vehicles
with an indication of the intensity with
which the brakes are being applied in
your own vehicle.

The display occurs in two stages:

Normal braking:
The brake light units within the tail-
light clusters and the high-mount
brake light integrated within the rear
spoiler both light up with normal
intensity

Hard braking or braking with ABS
active:
The taillights also come on, lighting
up with the same intensity as the
brake lights to provide a larger a
more conspicuous warning.
