Changing wheels
Your BMW is equipped with run-flat tires as
standard. As a result, it is not necessary to
change the wheel immediately in the case of air
loss in the event of a breakdown.
To continue driving with a damaged tire:
> With Flat Tire Monitor, refer to Indication of
a flat tire page 101
> With Tire Pressure Monitor, refer to Mes-
sage with low tire inflation pressure
page 103
You will recognize run-flat tires by a circular
symbol containing the letters RSC on the side
of the tire, refer to Run-flat tires, page 256.
When mounting new tires, or changing from
summer to winter tires or vice versa, use run-flat
tires for your own safety. No spare tire is avail-
able in case of a flat tire. Your BMW Sports
Activity Vehicle Center will be happy to advise
you. Also refer to New wheels and tires,
page 256.
BMW X6: do not rotate the front wheels to
the rear or vice versa, as otherwise the
handling characteristic s will be negatively
affected. <
Suitable tools for changing tires are avail-
able as accessories at your BMW Sports
Activity Vehicle Center. <
