00 00 ... Tires: checking inflation pressure, correcting if necessary (incl. spare wheel), checking external condition, tread depth, pattern

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 BMW 545i and 2004 BMW 545i. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Checking Tire Inflation Pressure:
- Check tire inflation pressure according to information plate on B-pillar.
- Inflation pressure in spare wheel must be 0.5 bar higher than the maximum specified value on the information plate.
- Initialize Run Flat Indicator. Refer to 36 11 000 INITIALIZING TIRE DEFECT INDICATOR (RPA) .

Checking Tire Condition:
- Check tread depth of all tires with tire tread gauge.
- Check tire tread surfaces and side walls for incisions and foreign particles such as nails or screws.
- Check tire tread pattern for localized flattening and wear on one side; if necessary, carry out wheel/chassis alignment after consulting with customer and issue a separate invoice for this work.

NOTE:

For reasons of driving safety, only use tires of the same type and tread pattern on a single vehicle.
Inform customer of any incorrect or worn tires.
