Tire inflation pressure

Information for your safety

It is not merely the tire's service life, but

also driving comfort and – to a great extent

– driving safety that depend on the condi-

tion of the tires and the maintenance of the

specified tire pressure.

Check the tire inflation pressure regu-

larly and correct it if necessary,

including the spare tire: at least every two

weeks and before beginning a longer trip.

If you fail to observe this precaution you

may be driving on tires with incorrect tire

pressures, a condition that can not only

compromise your vehicle's stability, but

also lead to tire damage and the risk of an

accident.

Do not drive with deflated, i.e. flat tires,

except run-flat tires. A flat tire will seriously

impair your vehicle's handling and braking

response. Attempts to drive on a flat tire

can lead to loss of control over the vehi-

cle.<

Checking inflation pressure

Only check tire inflation pressure when the

tires are cold. This means after a maximum

of 1.25 miles/2 km driving or when the

vehicle has been parked for at least

2 hours. When tires are warm, the tire infla-

tion pressure increases.

After correcting the inflation pressure(s),

always reinitialize the Flat Tire Monitor,

refer to page 96.

Inflation pressures for standard tires

The inflation pressures for your standard

tires can be found on the door pillar when

you open the driver's door.

Inflation pressures for other tire

sizes

The table below provides all the correct

inflation pressures for the specified tire

sizes at ambient temperature.

After correcting the inflation pres-

sure(s), always reinitialize the Flat Tire

Monitor, refer to page 96.<

Tire size

The inflation pressures apply to the tire

sizes approved and tire brands recom-

mended by BMW; a list of these is available

from your BMW center.
