Do not reset the system when driving with a compact wheel*. 1. "Vehicle Info" 2. "Vehicle status" 3. "Reset TPM" Continuing to drive with a flat tire could cause severe accidents.< 2. In the event of complete tire pressure loss, 0 psi/0 kPa, you can estimate the possible distance for continued driving on the basis of the following guide values: > With a light load: 1 to 2 persons without luggage: approx. 155 miles/250 km > With a medium load: 2 persons, cargo bay full, or 4 persons without luggage: approx. 95 miles/150 km > With a full load: 4 or more persons, cargo bay full: approx. 30 miles/50 km Drive cautiously and do not exceed speeds of 50 mph/80 km/h or else you run the risk of causing an accident. In the event of pressure loss, vehicle handling changes. This includes reduced tracking stability in braking, extended braking distance and altered natural steering characteristics. If unusual vibrations or loud noises occur while the vehicle is being driven, this can indicate final failure of the damaged tire. Reduce speed and stop at a suitable location as soon as possible, otherwise pieces of the tire could become detached and cause an accident. Do not continue driving, but instead contact the BMW Sports Activity Vehicle Center.< 4. Start the engine - do not drive away. 5. Start the initialization using "Reset TPM". 6. Start to drive. The tires are shown in gray and "Resetting TPM..." is displayed. After a few minutes of driving, the set tire inflation pressures in the tires are applied as the set values to be monitored. Resetting finishes during driving. On the Control Display, the tires are shown in green and "Status: TPM active " is displayed again. If a flat tire is detected during resetting and applying the tire inflation pressures, all tires are shown in yellow on the Control Display. The message "Low tire!" is shown.< Message with low tire inflation pressure The warning lamp lights up yellow. A message appears on the Control Display. In addition, an acoustic signal sounds. There is a flat tire or extensive inflation pressure loss. 1. Cautiously reduce speed to below 50 mph/ 80 km/h. Avoid sudden braking and steering maneuvers. Do not exceed a speed of 50 mph/80 km/h. If the vehicle is not equipped with runflat tires as provided at the factory, refer to page 237, do not continue driving. Status display The current status of the TPM Tire Pressure Monitor can be displayed on the Control Display, e.g. whether or not the TPM is active. 1. "Vehicle Info" 2.
