Tire Pressure Control (RDC)

In the event of a flat tire

If there is a tire failure with loss of pres-
sure, the indicator lamp comes on with
a red lamp. In addition, an acoustic
signal is sounded.

If this occurs, reduce vehicle speed
immediately and stop the vehicle in a
safe location. Avoid hard brake applica-
tions. Do not oversteer. Replace the
wheel and flat tire.

The space-saver spare tire is
provided for temporary use only in

the event of a tire failure. It does not
have RDC electronics and is not moni-
tored. A full-size spare tire that has the
same dimensions as the tires already
mounted on the vehicle is equipped
with the necessary RDC electronics,
and will be also be monitored once the
tires have been mounted and the
system activated.

RDC cannot alert you to severe
and sudden tire damage caused

by external factors.

Have the tires changed by your
BMW center.

Your BMW center has been trained to
work with the RDC system and is
equipped with the necessary special
tools.

System interference

Local devices using the same radio
frequency can interfere with the RDC.

The yellow indicator lamp will come on
during the malfunction.

The indicator lamp also comes on

in the event of a system fault

if a wheel is mounted without the
appropriate electronics

if, in addition to the spare tire

, addi-

tional wheels with RDC electronics
are on board.

Please contact your BMW center for
additional information.
