Tire inflation pressure

Information for your safety

It is not merely the tire's service life, but
also driving comfort and driving safety that
largely depend on the condition of the tires
and the maintenance of the specified tire
pressure.

Check tire inflation pressures regu-
larly and correct them if necessary: at

least every two weeks and before every
extended journey. If this is not done, incor-
rect tire pressures can cause driving insta-
bility or tire damage, ultimately resulting in
accidents.
Do not drive with a deflated, i.e. flat, tire
unless your vehicle is equipped with Run
Flat tires. A flat tire greatly impairs steering
and braking response, and can lead to
complete loss of control over the vehicle.

Checking tire pressures

Check the tire inflation pressures only
when the tires are cold. This means after a
maximum driving distance of 1.25 miles/
2 km or if the vehicle has been parked for at
least 2 hours. Warm tires have higher infla-
tion pressures.

Reinitialize the Flat Tire Monitor after cor-
recting the tire inflation pressure. Refer to
page 55.

Inflation pressures for original tires

The specified inflation pressures for tires at
ambient temperature are provided on the
placard on the B-pillar and are visible when
the driver's door is open.

Inflation pressures for other tire
sizes

The following tire inflation pressure tables
show the inflation pressures for the speci-
fied tire sizes at ambient temperature.

Reinitialize the Flat Tire Monitor after
correcting the tire inflation pressure.

Refer to page

Tire size

The inflation pressures in the table apply to
BMW-approved tire sizes and brands. Your
BMW center will be glad to supply this
information.
