36 11 000 Initializing Run Flat Indicator (RPA)

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 8 other vehicles, including the 2010 BMW M5, 2010 BMW 550i, 2009 BMW M5, 2009 BMW 550i, and 2008 BMW M5. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

NOTE: Checking the tire pressure is based on monitoring the speeds of the wheels in relation to each other. A tire puncture is detected and signalled by way of a deviation in specific speed ratios.

The four tires mounted on the vehicle are monitored while the vehicle is moving.

Initialization must be carried out in each case immediately after tire pressures have been corrected, after tires/wheels have been replaced and after repairs to the air spring system.

IMPORTANT: The Run Flat Indicator does not function when the vehicle is driven with the compact spare wheel. See TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR SYSTEM REINITIALIZATION .
