Tire Pressure Warning (RDW)
Loss in tire pressure
If, after a certain period of time, the air
pressure has gone down (which is nor-
mal for any tire), the message "CHECK
TIRE PRESSURE" appears in the Check
Control
This alerts you to have the tires inflated
to the specified pressures as soon as
possible.
If you are prompted to check the
tire pressure shortly after a cor-
rection has been made, this indicates
that the corrected values were not ac-
curate. Please check the inflation pres-
sure again and make corrections ac-
cording to the inflation pressure table.
Then activate the system once again.<
Flat tire
If there is a tire failure with a loss of air
pressure, the message "TIRE DEFECT"
appears in the Check Control. In addi-
tion, a gong is sounded.
If this occurs, reduce vehicle speed im-
mediately and stop the vehicle in a safe
location. Avoid hard brake applications.
Do not oversteer. Correct the tire failure
using the M Mobility system (refer to
page 150).
RDW cannot inform you of sudden
and severe tire damage caused by
external influences.<
Have the tires changed by your
BMW center.
Your BMW center has the information
needed for working with RDW and is
equipped with the necessary special
tools.<
System interference
The message "TIRECONTROL
INACTIVE" appears in the Check Con-
trol for the duration of the system inter-
ference.
The same display will appear if there is
a system fault.
Please contact your BMW center for
additional information.
