The system must be reinitialized each

time a tire inflation pressure has been cor-

rected or a wheel or tire has been changed.<

System limitations

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

> Performance-oriented style of driving: slip

in the drive wheels, high lateral acceleration

> If snow chains are attached

Initializing the system

The initialization is completed during driv-

ing, which can be interrupted at any time.

When driving resumes, the initialization is con-

tinued automatically.

Do not initialize the system while snow chains

are attached.<

iDrive, for operating principle refer to page 16.

1. Press the button.

This opens the start menu.

2. Press the controller to open the menu.

3. Select "Vehicle settings" and press the

controller.

4. If necessary, move the highlight marker to

the uppermost field. Turn the controller

until "FTM" is selected and press the con-

troller.

5. Start the engine, but do not start driving.

6. Select "Reset" and press the controller.

7. Select "Yes" and press the controller.

8. Start to drive.

Initialization is completed while the car is in

motion. "Status: FTM active" reappears in

the Control Display.

Indication of a flat tire

The warning lamps come on in yellow

and red. A message appears on the

Control Display. In addition, an

acoustic signal sounds. There is a flat

tire or substantial loss of tire pressure.

1. Cautiously reduce speed to below 50 mph

or 80 km/h. Avoid sudden braking and

steering maneuvers. Do not exceed a speed

of 50 mph or 80 km/h.

If the car is not equipped with Run-

Flat Tires, refer to page 189, the stan-

dard equipment by design, do not continue

driving. Otherwise a severe accident could

result after a tire puncture if you continue

driving.<

2. At the next opportunity, check the air pres-

sure in all four tires.

If all four tires are inflated to the cor-

rect pressures, the Flat Tire Monitor

might not have been initialized. The system

must then be initialized.<

3. In the event of complete tire pressure loss,

0 psi/0 kPa, you can estimate the possible
