36 11 000 Initialising Run Flat Indicator (RPA)
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 6 other vehicles, including the 2008 BMW 750i, 2008 BMW 750Li, 2007 BMW 750i, 2007 BMW 750Li, and 2006 BMW 750i. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:
Checking the tyre pressure is based on monitoring the speeds of the wheels in relation to each other. A tyre puncture is detected and signalled by way of a deviation in specific speed ratios.
The four tyres mounted on the vehicle are monitored while the vehicle is moving.
Initialization must be carried out in each case immediately after tyre pressures have been corrected, after tyres/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.
Please refer to the relevant Owner's Handbook for details of the initialization procedure.
