Wheels and tires

Tire inflation pressure

Information for your safety

It is not merely the tire's service life, but

also driving comfort and, above all else,

driving safety that depend on the condi-

tion of the tires and the maintenance of

the specified tire pressure.

Checking tire pressures

Only check the tire inflation pressures

of cold tires. This means after driving a

maximum of 1.25 miles/2 km or after

the vehicle has been parked for at least

2 hours. Warm tires have higher infla-

tion pressures.

Check tire inflation pressures reg-

ularly and correct them if neces-

sary: at least twice a month and before

beginning a longer trip. Otherwise,

incorrect tire pressures can cause driv-

ing instability or tire damage, ultimately

resulting in accidents. Do not drive on a

deflated, i.e. flat, tire. A flat tire greatly

impairs steering and braking response,

and can lead to complete loss of con-

trol over the vehicle.<

After correcting the tire inflation pres-

sure, reinitialize the Flat Tire Monitor,

refer to page 87.

Inflation pressures for original

tires

Tire pressures for the standard tires of

your vehicle are shown on the driver's

door post, visible when the door is

open.

The inflation pressures apply to BMW-

approved tire sizes and recommended

tire brands. Your BMW center will be

glad to supply this information.

Inflation pressures for other tire

sizes

The following tire pressure table shows

all tire pressures for the given tire sizes

at ambient temperature.
