Malfunction The yellow warning lamp flashes and then lights up continuously. The tires are shown in gray on the Control Display and a message is displayed. No flat tire can be detected. 9. 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. 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 Display. The message "Tire low!" is displayed.< 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 electronics. > If TPM is temporarily interfered with by other systems or devices which use the same radio frequency. Declaration according to NHTSA/ FMVSS 138 Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems 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 inflation 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 feature, your vehicle has been equipped with a tire pressure monitoring system, TPMS, that illuminates a low tire pressure telltale when one or more of your tires are significantly underinflated. 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 substitute for proper tire maintenance, and it is the driver's responsibility to maintain correct tire pressure, even if underinflation has not reached 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. Reduce speed and stop the vehicle carefully. Avoid sudden braking and steering maneuvers. 2. If all four wheels are shown in yellow, identify the damaged tire on the vehicle. 3. Repairing flat tire with M Mobility System, refer to page 226, or replace the damaged wheel or wheels, refer to Changing wheels* on page 228. 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 90 Online Edition for Part no. 01 41 2 600 775 - © 08/08 BMW AG
