28nTire inflation pressure
Check tire inflation pressures reg-
ularly – at least every two weeks
and before beginning a longer trip. In-
correct tire pressure can otherwise lead
to tire damage and accidents.
Comply with tire approval
specifications
The inflation pressures in the table ap-
ply to tires from BMW-approved manu-
facturers. Your BMW center is familiar
with these pressures. Higher pressures
may be specified for tires from other
manufacturers. You will find a list of ap-
proved tires beginning on page 142.
Also check the inflation pressure of the
spare tire. Inflate the spare tire to the
highest inflation of any tire on your vehi-
cle.<
Your vehicle is equipped with tires that
not only meet US standards, but also
European standards. We recommend
the exclusive use of BMW-approved
tires.
The inflation pressures are indicated on
a sticker attached to the B-pillar behind
the driver's door (visible with door
open).
Check tire pressures
All pressure specifications are indicated
in psi (kilopascal) with cold tires (cold =
ambient temperature). Refer to the next
page as well.
For vehicles with Tire Pressure Control
(RDC)*:
After a correction of the tire inflation
pressure, reactivate the system. Refer
to page 98.
