BMW 5 Series: Concept, General information, Safety information
Concept
The system monitors tire inflation pressure in the
four mounted tires. The system warns you if
there is a loss of pressure in one or more tires.
General information
Sensors in the tire valves measure the tire inflation
pressure and tire temperature.
Using the tire settings in iDrive, the system can
automatically display the specified target pressures
and compare them with the actual tire inflation
pressures.
If tires are being used that are not specified on the tire inflation pressure
details on the vehicle such as tires with special approval,
the system needs to be actively reset.
The system will then take over the actual tire inflation
pressures as the target pressures.
When operating the system, also note the additional information found in the
Tire inflation pressure chapter.
Safety information
Warning
The display of the target pressures is not a
substitute for the tire inflation pressure details
on the vehicle. Incorrect entries in the tire settings
can lead to incorrect target tire inflation pressure values. In this case, it
cannot be guaranteed
that the notification of a loss of tire inflation
pressure will be reliable. There is a risk of
injury and risk of damage to property. Ensure
that the tire sizes of the mounted tires are displayed
correctly and match the details on the
tires and on the vehicle.
Functional requirements
The following conditions must be met for the
system; otherwise, reliable flagging of a loss of
tire inflation pressure is not assured:
- Every time a tire or wheel is changed, the correct details on the
mounted tires must be entered in the tire settings.
- TPM does not activate until after driving for a
few minutes:
- After a tire or wheel replacement.
- Reset, for tires without special approval.
- After changing the tire setting.
- For tires with special approval:
- After a tire or wheel replacement, a reset
was performed with the correct tire inflation
pressure.
- After the tire inflation pressure was adjusted
to a new value, a reset was performed.
- Wheels with TPM wheel electronics.
