Changing wheels

Your BMW is equipped with run-flat tires as

change the wheel immediately in the case of air
loss in the event of a breakdown.
To continue driving with a damaged tire:

With Flat Tire Monitor, refer to Indication of
a flat tire page

With Tire Pressure Monitor, refer to Mes-
sage with low tire inflation pressure
page

You will recognize run-flat tires by a circular
symbol containing the letters RSC on the side
of the tire, refer to Run-flat tires, page

When mounting new tires, or changing from
summer to winter tires or vice versa, use run-flat

able in case of a flat tire. Your BMW Sports
Activity Vehicle Center will be happy to advise

and ensure that they remain outside the imme-

which is not slippery. The vehicle or the jack
could slip to the side if you attempt to raise the
vehicle on a soft or slippery surface such as
