BMW 5 Series: Messages: for tires without special approval
General information
A low tire inflation pressure may cause the DSC Dynamic Stability Control to be switched on.
Safety information
Warning
A damaged regular tire with low or missing tire inflation pressure impacts handling, such as steering and braking response. Run-flat tires can maintain limited stability. There is a risk of accident. Do not continue driving if the vehicle is equipped with normal tires. Follow the information on run-flat tires and continued driving with these tires.
If a tire inflation pressure check is required
Message
A symbol with a Check Control message appears on the Control Display.

Inflation was not carried out
according
to specifications, e.g., when the
tire has not been sufficiently inflated
or in the case of a natural steady tire
pressure loss.
Measure
Check the tire pressure and correct as needed.
If the tire inflation pressure is too low

There is a tire inflation
pressure loss.
Measure
1. Reduce the vehicle speed. Do not exceed a speed of 80 mph/130 km/h.
2. At the next opportunity, for instance at a gas station, check the tire inflation pressure in all four tires and correct if necessary.
If there is a significant loss of tire inflation pressure

There is a flat tire or a major
loss in
tire inflation pressure.
Measure
1. Reduce your speed and stop cautiously.
Avoid sudden braking and steering maneuvers.
2. Check whether the vehicle is fitted with normal tires or run-flat tires.
Run-flat tires are labeled with a circular symbol containing the letters RSC marked on the tire's sidewall.
1. Read the description on What to do in case of a flat tire.

according
to specifications, e.g., the tire has
not been sufficiently inflated.
The system has detected a wheel change, but no reset was done.
The tire inflation pressure has fallen below the level of the last reset.
No reset was performed for the system.
The system issues a warning based on the tire inflation pressures stored during the last reset.
Measure
1. Check the tire pressure and correct as needed.
2. Perform a system reset.

tires, for instance using the tire pressure gage
of a flat tire kit.

Active air flap control
It was possible to carry over the active air-flap control from the G12. The
cooling surfaces at the front
of the vehicle can be closed by means of two separate air flaps. This reduces
the drag coefficient and
thus saves fuel. A further advantage is faster heating up of the engine after a
cold sta
