36 11 000 Initializing Run Flat Indicator (RPA)
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2013 BMW 550i GT, 2012 BMW 550i GT, 2011 BMW 550i GT, and 2010 BMW 550i GT. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:
Checking the tire pressure is based on speed monitoring of the wheels in relation to each other. A tire puncture is detected and signalled by way of a deviation in specific speed ratios.
Initialization must be carried out in each case immediately after tire pressures have been corrected, after tires/wheels have been exchanged and after repair work to the air spring system.
The four tires mounted on the vehicle are monitored while the vehicle is driving.
Initialization must be carried out in each case immediately after tire pressures have been corrected, after tires/wheels have been exchanged and after repair work to the air spring system.
IMPORTANT:
The Run Flat Indicator does not function when the vehicle is driven with the compact spare wheel.
Please refer to the relevant Owner's Handbook for details of the initialization procedure.
