FTM Flat Tire Monitor* The concept The Flat Tire Monitor detects a pressure loss in one tire by comparing the speeds of the individual wheels during driving. In the event of a pressure loss, there is a change in the rolling circumference and therefore the rotation speed of the corresponding wheel. The system detects this change and reports it as a flat tire. Dynamic Drive* The concept Dynamic Drive minimizes body roll and optimizes vehicle stability during cornering and evasive maneuvers. Dynamic Drive is based on active stabilizers on the front and rear axles. Suspension compliance adapts to suit driving conditions, varying from performance-oriented during cornering to smooth and comfort-oriented when the vehicle is proceeding in a straight line. During vehicle operation, the system continuously runs through closed-loop control cycles lasting only fractions of a second. The system assumes operational status each time you start the engine. Functional requirement The system must have been initialized when the tire inflation pressure was correct; otherwise, reliable signaling of a flat tire is not ensured. The initialization must be repeated after every correction of the tire inflation pressure and after every tire or wheel change.< System limits The Flat Tire Monitor is unable to warn the driver of sudden, severe tire damage caused by external factors, nor can it identify the gradual loss of pressure that will inevitably occur in all four tires over a lengthy period of time.< In the following situations, the system could be delayed or malfunction: > System has not been initialized > Driving on snowy or slippery road surface > Sporty driving style: slip in the drive wheels, high lateral acceleration > Driving with snow chains* When you are driving with the compact wheel* the Flat Tire Monitor is unable to function. Sports Wagon: self-leveling suspension Malfunction The warning lamp for self-leveling suspension lights up yellow and a message is shown on the Control Display. A malfunction has occurred in the self-leveling suspension. Stop and check the vehicle. If it is considerably lower at the rear than at the front, and possibly also on one side - rear left compared to rear right - go to the nearest BMW center or a workshop that works according to BMW repair procedures with correspondingly trained personnel. Drive with appropriate caution in the meantime. The vehicle has reduced ground clearance and driving comfort may be noticeably reduced.
