2016 BMW M4 snow chains

Runflat indicator RPA
Principle The system identifies a loss of tyre pressure
by comparing the speeds of rotation of the in‐
dividual wheels while the vehicle is in motion.
If a tyre loses pressure, its diameter changes.
This in turn alters the rotational speed of the
corresponding wheel. This is detected and re‐
ported as a flat tyre.
The system does not measure the tyre pres‐
sures as such.
Operating requirements
The system must have been initialised with
correct tyre inflation pressure, otherwise relia‐
ble signalling of a flat tyre cannot be assured.
Each time the tyre pressure is adjusted or a
tyre or wheel is changed, initialise the system
again.
Status display The current status of the runflat indicator can
be shown on the Control Display, for example
whether the runflat indicator is active.
On the Control Display:1."Vehicle information"2."Vehicle status"3. "Flat Tyre Monitor (RPA)"
The status is displayed.
Initialising
On initialisation, the current tyre pressures are
stored as a reference for detection of a flat tyre. The initialisation is started by confirming
the correct tyre inflation pressures.
When driving with snow chains fitted, do not
initialise the system.
On the Control Display:
1."Vehicle information"2."Vehicle status"3. "Perform reset"4.Start the engine – do not drive off.5.Start the initialisation with "Perform reset".6.Drive off.
Initialising is completed while the vehicle is in
motion; this process can be interrupted at any
time.
Initialising resumes automatically when you
continue your journey.
Message of a flat tyre The yellow warning lamp is illuminated.
A Check Control message is shown.
There is a flat tyre or substantial loss of
tyre pressure.
1.Reduce your speed and carefully stop the
vehicle. Avoid violent or sudden braking
and steering manoeuvres.2.Determine which wheel is damaged. Do
this by checking the tyre inflation pres‐
sures with the aid of the Mobility System. If
all tyres are inflated to the correct pres‐
sures, the runflat indicator might not have
been initialised. In this case initialise the
system.3.Remedy the flat tyre with the Mobility Sys‐
tem or replace the damaged wheel.
System limits
A natural, even loss of tyre pressurein all four
tyres that occurs over time is not detected.
Consequently, check the tyre inflation pres‐
sure at regular intervals.
No warning can be given in the event of sud‐
den tyre failure caused by external factors.
In the following situations, the system could be
slow to respond or operate incorrectly:
▷If the system has not been initialised.▷Journey on snow-covered or slippery sur‐
faces.Seite 109SecurityControls109

▷Dynamic driving style, causing the drive
gears to spin, high lateral acceleration.▷Driving with snow chains.
Intelligent Safety
Principle
Intelligent Safety permits central operation of
driver assistance systems.
Depending on equipment, Intelligent Safety
consists of one or more systems which can
help to avoid the risk of a collision. These sys‐
tems are automatically active each time you
start the engine with the start/stop button:
▷Front-end collision warning with city brak‐
ing function, see page 111.▷Person warning, see page 113.
Notes
WARNING
Displays and warnings do not take your
personal responsibility from you. System limi‐
tations can mean that warnings or system re‐
sponses are not issued, are issued too late, or are issued incorrectly. Danger of accidents.
Adapt driving style to the driving conditions.
Observe the traffic situation and intervene ac‐
tively if the situation warrants it.◀
WARNING
Due to system limitations, there may be
malfunctions of individual functions when tow-
starting/towing with activated Intelligent Safety Systems, for example approach control warn‐
ing with light braking function. Danger of acci‐
dents. Switch off all Intelligent Safety Systems
before tow-starting/towing.◀

Camera
The camera is in the area of the base of the
rear-view mirror.
Keep the windscreen clean and clear in the
area in front of the rear view mirror.
Switching on/offThe Intelligent Safety Systems are active auto‐
matically at the start of each journey.
Press button: the systems are
switched off again. LED turns off.
Press button again: the systems are switched
on. LED is illuminated.
Settings can be adjusted on the Control Dis‐
play.

3.Take the filler hose of the sealant container
that was previously connected to the tyre
valve and connect it to the free connection
on the sealant container.
This can prevent sealant residues from es‐
caping from the container.4.Pack empty sealant container to avoid soil‐
ing in the boot.5.Store Mobility system in the vehicle again.
Spreading sealant compound
Immediately drive for approximately
10 km/5 mi to evenly distribute the sealing
compound in the tyre.
Do not exceed a speed of 80 km/h/50 mph.
If possible, do not drive slower than
20 km/h/12 mph.
Correcting the tyre inflation pressure
1.Stop in a suitable area.2.Bolt the connecting hose of the compres‐
sor directly onto the tyre valve.3.Insert the plug into the socket on the inside
of the vehicle.4.Correct tyre inflation pressure to 2.5 bar.▷Increase pressure: switch on the com‐
pressor with the engine running or the
ignition switched on.▷Reduce pressure: press the button on
the compressor.
Continuing with journey
Do not exceed maximum permitted speed of
80 km/h, approximately 50 mph.
Reinitialise runflat indicator.
Reinitialise Tyre Pressure Monitor.
Have the punctured tyre and the sealant con‐
tainer of the Mobility system replaced as soon
as possible.
Snow chains
Fine-link snow chains Only certain fine-link snow chains have been
tested, found safe for use in traffic, and cate‐
gorised as suitable by the manufacturer of your
vehicle.
Information regarding suitable snow chains is
available from a Service Partner or a qualified
specialist workshop.
Using Snow chains may only be used in pairs on the
rear wheels with tyres of the following sizes:▷255/40 R 18.▷255/35 R 19.
Observe the snow chain manufacturer's notes.
Ensure that the snow chains are always ade‐
quately taut. Re-tighten them if necessary in
accordance with the chain manufacturer's in‐
structions.
Do not initialise the runflat indicator with snow
chains fitted, as the instrument might other‐
wise issue an incorrect reading.
Do not initialise the Tyre Pressure Monitor with
snow chains fitted, as the instrument might
otherwise issue an incorrect reading.
When driving with snow chains, activate M Dy‐
namic Mode briefly if necessary.
Maximum speed with snow chains
When snow chains are fitted, do not exceed
50 km/h, 30 mph.
