BMW 2008 X3 3.0si Manual Do Proprietário

The condition of the tires and the maintenance 
of the specified tire pressure are crucial not only 
to the tire's service life, but also to driving com-
fort and most importantly, driving safety.

Only check tire inflation pressure when the tires 
are cold. This means after a maximum of 
1.25 miles/2 km driving or when the vehicle has 
been parked for at least 2 hours. When tires are 
warm, the tire inflation pressure increases.

Check the tire inflation pressure regularly 
and correct it as needed, even on the 

compact wheel: at least twice a month and 
before starting long trips. If you fail to observe 
this precaution, you may be driving on tires with 
incorrect tire pressures, a condition that can not 
only compromise your vehicle's driving stability, 
but also lead to tire damage and the risk of an 
accident.
Do not drive with deflated, i.e. flat tires. A flat tire 
will seriously impair your vehicle's handling and 
braking response. Attempts to drive on a flat tire 
can lead to loss of control over the vehicle.

After correcting the tire inflation pressure, 
reinitialize the Flat Tire Monitor

 or 

reset the Tire Pressure Monitor

, refer to 

pages

.

The table on the next page provides all the cor-
rect inflation pressures for the specified tire 
sizes at ambient temperature.

The inflation pressures in the table apply 
to BMW-approved tire sizes and recom-

mended tire brands. Your BMW Sports Activity 
Vehicle Center will be glad to supply this infor-
mation.

For correct identification of the right tire infla-
tion pressure for your tires, please note the fol-

Maximum permissible driving speed

For normal driving at speeds of up to 100 mph/
160 km/h and to achieve optimum driving com-
fort, take note of the tire inflation pressures 
listed on the following page in the column for 
speeds up to max. 100 mph/160 km/h and 
adjust your tire pressure as needed.
These tire inflation pressures are also listed on 
the door pillar and can be seen with the driver's 
door open.

The maximum permissible speed for 
these tire inflation pressures is 100 mph/

160 km/h. Do not exceed this speed; failure to 
heed this limit can lead to tire damage and acci-
dents.

<

In order to drive at maximum speeds 
above 100 mph/160 km/h, take note of 

the tire inflation pressures listed in the column 
for speeds above 100 mph/160 km/h in the 
table on the following page and adjust your tire 
pressure as needed. Failure to due so can lead 
to tire damage and accidents.
