60 km/h, approx. 35 mph, and do not
exceed it after this.
If the pressure of the faulty tyre continues to
fall, its position is indicated on the control
display.
If the car is not in the envisaged fac-
tory-fitted state with run-flat tyres fit-
ted, see page
, do not continue your
journey, as driving on a flat tyre could result
in a serious accident.

Check the pressure in all four tyres at the
next opportunity.
If all four tyres are inflated to the cor-
rect pressures, the Run Flat Indicator
might not have been initialised. Initialise the
system.

If a tyre is completely deflated, you can esti-
mate how far you will be able to drive using
the following guidelines:
>
With low loads:
1 to 2 persons, without luggage:
approx. 250 km, approx. 150 miles
>
With moderate loads:
2 persons, luggage compartment full, or
4 persons without luggage:
approx. 150 km, approx. 90 miles
>
With full load:
4 or more persons, load area full:
approx. 50 km, approx. 30 miles
Drive with caution and do not exceed
80 km/h, approx. 50 mph. If towing a
trailer, do not exceed 60 km/h, approx. 35 mph.
If there is a loss of tyre pressure, the car's han-
dling properties will change. These include
reduced track stability during braking, longer
braking distances and altered self-steering
properties.
If unusual vibration or loud noises occur during
the journey, this may be an indication that the
damaged tyre has finally failed. Reduce your
speed and pull over to a suitable location as
soon as possible. Otherwise, parts of the tyre
could come loose, which could result in an acci-
dent. Do not drive the car any further; contact
BMW Service instead.

Active steering*
Principle
Active steering actively varies the steering lock
of the front wheels in relation to steering wheel
movements. It in addition varies the steering
force required to steer the car, in line with its
speed.
At low speeds, e.g. in built-up areas or when
parking, the steering lock is accentuated, i.e.
the steering response becomes very direct. At
higher speeds, on the other hand, the steering
lock is gradually reduced. This improves the
handling of your BMW across the entire speed
range.
In critical situations, the system can specifically
correct the angle through which the driver has
turned the wheels, and thus stabilise the car
before the driver starts to take corrective action.
Malfunction
The warning light lights up and a
message appears on the control dis-
play: the active steering is faulty and
deactivated. At low speeds, more
pronounced movement of the steering wheel is
required, whereas the car will respond more
sensitively to steering wheel movements at
higher speeds. The stabilising intervention may
also be deactivated. Drive cautiously and think
well ahead. Have the system checked.
Two-stage brake lights*
On the left: normal braking.
On the right: hard braking.
