BMW 116d 2011, Owner'S Handbook Manual

Page: 46 / 153

When driving with damaged tyres, the vehicle
handling changes, for example quicker loss of
traction when braking, longer stopping distance
and modified self-steering behaviour. Adapt
driving style accordingly. Avoid abrupt steering
or driving over obstacles, for example curbs,
potholes etc.
As the possible distance largely depends on the
strain on the vehicle during the journey, this can
be shorter, or longer if the vehicle is driven care‐
fully, according to speed, road condition, out‐
side temperature, load etc.
Continuing a journey with a flat tyre
Drive moderately and do not exceed a
speed of 80 km/h, 50 mph.
If tyre pressure has fallen, vehicle handling
changes, for example reduced directional sta‐
bility when braking, longer stopping distance
and modified self-steering behaviour.◀
Final tyre failure
Vibration or loud noises while driving may
be an indication that the tyre has finally failed.
Reduce your speed and stop, otherwise sec‐
tions of the tyre could become detached and
cause an accident. Do not drive the car any fur‐
ther; contact your Service Centre instead.◀
Lane departure warning*
Principle
This system warns from approximately 65 km/h,
approximately 40 mph, if the vehicle is on roads
with lane marking lines, that it is about to leave

The steering wheel starts to vibrate slightly. The
time of this warning may vary depending on the
current driving situation.
The system does not issue a warning if the driver
indicates before leaving the driving lane.

▷ On: LED is illuminated.
▷ Off: LED turns off.
The system can issue warnings as of approxi‐
mately 65 km/h, 40 mph.
The status is saved for the remote control cur‐
rently in use.
Display

▷ Arrows, arrow 2: at least one lane boundary
line has been detected and warnings can be
issued.
Output of the warning

boundary line is detected, the steering wheel

If the turn indicator is set before changing lanes,
no warning is issued.
