5 Series E34 525td (M51) TOUR
Operation
The Run Flat Indicator (RPA) is initialised using the following control elements:
-
RPA button
-
On-board computer button on turn-signal/main-beam switch
-
With iDrive in the Central Information Display (CID) with the controller
Important: Always perform initialisation immediately after correcting the tyre pressure, especially if a tyre is
changed or the wheels are interchanged. Only check tyre pressures when the tyres are cold.
Set the tyres to the correct pressure before performing initialisation. During initialisation, the set tyre pressure
is taken as the initial value for the current set of wheels.
Correct the tyre pressures when the tyres are cold to prevent the data recorded from being affected by
temperature.
Important: Responsibility resides with the driver at all times
Check tyre pressures regularly, at least twice a month and before embarking on lengthy journeys. During
initialisation, the set tyre pressure is taken as the initial value for the current set of tyres.
Initialise the RPA in the following situations:
-
If tyre pressure is changed
(tyre pressure is corrected or reset)
-
If the position of the tyres is changed (change of axles, wheels), even if the tyre pressure is not changed
-
If a tyre is changed or the wheels are interchanged
(e.g. old tyres for new tyres, summer tyres for winter tyres, etc.)
Start initialisation as follows:
-
Terminal 15 ON
(engine OFF or ON, do not pull away)
