They do not need to be replaced immediately in
the event of a puncture.
When mounting new tires or changing from
summer
to winter tires or vice versa, use run-flat
tires for your own safety.
BMW X6: do not rotate the front wheels to the
rear or vice versa, as otherwise the handling
characteristics will be negatively affected.
The tools for changing wheels are available as
accessories from your service center.

Safety
precautions in the event of a flat tire
or wheel change
Park the vehicle as far as possible from passing
traffic and on solid ground. Switch on the hazard
warning system.
Set the parking brake and engage transmission
position P.
Have all vehicle occupants get out of the vehicle
and ensure that they remain outside the imme‐
diate area in a safe place, such as behind a
guardrail.
If a warning triangle or portable hazard warning
lamp* is required, set it up on the roadside at an
appropriate distance from the rear of the vehicle.
Comply with all safety guidelines and regula‐
tions. Change the wheel only on a level, firm surface
which is not slippery. The vehicle or the jack
could slip to the side if you attempt to raise the
vehicle on a soft or slippery surface such as
snow, ice, tiles, etc.
Position the jack on a firm support surface.
Do not use a wooden block or similar object as
a
support base for the jack, as this would prevent
it from extending to its full support height and
reduce its load-carrying capacity.
To avoid serious or fatal injury: never lie under
the vehicle, and never start the engine while it is
supported by the jack.◀

tions of the tools before removing them, then
