8.

Select "Yes" and press the controller.

9.

Start to drive.
The tires are shown in gray and "Resetting 
TPM..." is displayed.

After a few minutes of driving, the set tire infla-
tion pressures in the tires are applied as the set 
values to be monitored. Resetting finishes dur-
ing driving. The tires are shown in green on the 
Control Display.

If a flat tire is detected during resetting 
and applying the tire inflation pressures, 

all tires are shown in yellow on the Control Dis-
play. The message "Tire low!" is displayed.

<

The warning lamp lights up yellow. A 
message appears on the Control Dis-
play. In addition, an acoustic signal 

sounds. There is a flat tire or extensive inflation 
pressure loss.

1.

Reduce speed and stop the vehicle care-
fully. Avoid sudden braking and steering 
maneuvers.

2.

If all four wheels are shown in yellow, iden-
tify the damaged tire on the vehicle.

3.

Repairing flat tire with M Mobility System, 
refer to page

, or replace the damaged 

wheel or wheels, refer to Changing wheels* 
on page

The spare tire

is equipped with the necessary 

TPM electronics and is also monitored after 
mounting and after resetting the system.
Have the tire replaced by a BMW center or a 
workshop informed on handling TPM which 

works according to BMW repair procedures 
with correspondingly trained personnel.

The yellow warning lamp flashes and 
then lights up continuously. The tires 
are shown in gray on the Control Dis-

play and a message is displayed. No flat tire can 
be detected.
A message like this is displayed in the following 
situations:

>

In case of a malfunction;
have the system checked.

>

If a wheel is mounted without TPM elec-
tronics.

>

If TPM is temporarily interfered with by 
other systems or devices which use the 
same radio frequency.

Each tire, including the spare

, should be 

checked monthly when cold and inflated to the 
inflation pressure recommended by the vehicle 
manufacturer on the vehicle placard or tire infla-
tion pressure label. If your vehicle has tires of a 
different size than the size indicated on the 
vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label, 
you should determine the proper tire inflation 
pressure for those tires. As an added safety fea-
ture, your vehicle has been equipped with a tire 
pressure monitoring system, TPMS, that illumi-
nates a low tire pressure telltale when one or 
more of your tires are significantly underin-
flated. Accordingly, when the low tire pressure 
telltale illuminates, you should stop and check 
your tires as soon as possible, and inflate them 
to the proper pressure. Driving on a significantly 
underinflated tire causes the tire to overheat 
and can lead to tire failure. Underinflation also 
reduces fuel efficiency and tire tread life, and 
may affect the vehicle's handling and stopping 
ability. Please note that the TPMS is not a sub-
stitute for proper tire maintenance, and it is the 
driver's responsibility to maintain correct tire 
pressure, even if underinflation has not reached
