Tyre pressure control (RDC)
*
If there is a loss of tyre pressure
If the tyre pressure has dropped too far
in the course of time (quite normal on
any tyre), the indicator light comes on
yellow or the message "CHECK TYRE
PRESSURE" appears in the Check
Control.
This is to remind you that the tyre pres-
sure should be corrected to the speci-
fied values again as soon as possible.
If you are asked to check tyre
pressures shortly after correcting
them, the corrected pressure values
were not plausible. Please check the
tyre pressures again and correct them
to the values specified in the tyre pres-
sure table. After this, re-activate the
system.
<
With a burst tyre
If you suffer a tyre defect involving loss
of pressure, the red indicator comes on,
or the message "TYRE DEFECT"
appears in the Check Control. In addi-
tion, a gong sounds.
When this occurs, slow down to a stop
immediately, avoiding harsh braking
and steering manoeuvres. Replace the
defective wheel with tyre.
The spare wheel supplied as
standard with your car is
equipped with the necessary RDC elec-
tronics and is therefore also monitored
automatically after fitting, when the
system has been activated.
<
RDC is unable to warn the driver
of sudden, severe tyre damage
caused by outside influences.
<
Have your tyres changed by BMW
Service.
BMW Service has the necessary infor-
mation and special tools for mainte-
nance of the RDC system.
<
Faults
While there is a fault in the system, the
indicator light comes on yellow or the
message "TYRECONTROL INACTIVE"
appears in the Check Control.
The same display appears
>
In the event of a system fault
>
If a wheel not equipped with RDC is
fitted to the car
>
If one or more wheels equipped with
RDC electronics are carried on the
car in addition to the spare wheel.
Consult your BMW Service if neces-
sary.
