When driving with snow chains or
a space-saver spare tire, do not

initialize the system.

Flat tire

The indicator lamp in the instru-
ment cluster lights up red. This
visual alert is accompanied by

an acoustic warning signal.

1. Carefully reduce speed and come to

a stop. Avoid sudden braking and
steering maneuvers

2. Determine which wheel is damaged

If this cannot be determined, con-
tact your BMW center.

3. Replace the damaged wheel, refer to

Changing a wheel on page

After replacing the damaged tire, initial-
ize the system.

Vehicles with Run Flat tires:

1. Carefully reduce your speed to under

50 mph / 80 km/h. Avoid strong
braking and steering maneuvers. Do
not exceed a speed of 50 mph /
80 km/h.

Because the sides of Run Flat
tires are reinforced, a drop in infla-

tion pressure usually cannot be
detected from the outside, refer to Run
Flat tires, page

2. To continue driving, follow the

instructions under Driving with a
damaged tire on page

System malfunction

The indicator lamp in the instru-
ment cluster lights up yellow.
The Flat Tire Monitor is malfunc-

tioning or out of order. Please refer the
problem to your BMW center.

Brake force display

The brake force display indicates to the
driver of the vehicle behind you how
hard you are braking your vehicle.

The display has two levels:
> Normal braking: the brake lamps

among the rear lamps and the center
brake lamp light up

> Hard braking or use of ABS: the tail

lamps light up with the same bright-
ness as the brake lamps and thereby
intensify the visual effect of the brake
lamps.
