2017 BMW X5 Owners Manual

WARNING
The temperature grade for this tire is es#j
tablished for a tire that is properly inflated and
not overloaded. Excessive speed, underinfla#j tion, or excessive loading, either separately or
in combination, can cause heat buildup and
possible tire failure.'

Safety
informationWARNING
Damaged tires can lose tire inflation
pressure, which can lead to loss of vehicle control. There is a risk of an accident. If tiredamage is suspected while driving, immedi#jately reduce speed and stop. Have wheels andtires checked. For this purpose, drive carefully
to the nearest dealer#ss service center or an#j
other qualified service center or repair shop.
Have vehicle towed or transported as
needed.'

Winter
tires
Winter tires are recommended for operating on
winter roads.
Although so-called all-season M+S tires pro#j
vide better winter traction than summer tires,
they do not provide the same level of perform#j
ance as winter tires.
Maximum
speed
of
winter
tires
If the maximum speed of the vehicle is higher
than the permissible speed for the winter tires, then attach a corresponding information label/
sticker in the field of view. The label is available from a dealer#ss service center or another quali#j
fied service center or repair shop.
With mounted winter tires, observe and adhere
to the permissible maximum speed.
Run-flat
tires
If you are already using run-flat tires, for your
own safety you should replace them only with the same kind. No spare tire is available in the
case of a flat tire. Further information is availa#j
ble from a dealer#ss service center or another qualified service center or repair shop.
Rotating
wheels
between
axles Different wear patterns can occur on the frontand rear axles depending on individual driving
conditions. The tires can be rotated between
the axles to achieve even wear. Further infor#j mation is available from a dealer#ss service cen#jter or another qualified service center or repair
shop. After rotating, check the tire pressure and correct, if needed.
Rotating the tires between the axes is not per#j
missible on vehicles with different tire sizes or rim sizes on the front and rear axles.
Storage
Store wheels and tires in a cool, dry place with
as little exposure to light as possible.
Always protect tires against all contact with oil,
grease and fuels.Do not exceed the maximum tire inflation pres#j sure indicated on the side wall of the tire.
Run-flat
tires
Label
RSC label on the tire sidewall.
The wheels consist of tires that are self-sup#j porting, to a limited degree, and possibly spe#j
cial rims.
The support of the sidewall allows the tire to remain drivable to a restricted degree in the
event of a tire inflation pressure loss.
Follow the instructions for continued driving
with a flat tire.
Changing
run-flat
tires For your own safety, only use run-flat tires. No
spare tire is available in the case of a flat tire.
A dealer#ss service center will be glad to answeradditional questions at any time.

Mobility
System
Concept
With the Mobility System, minor tire damage can be sealed temporarily to enable continued
travel. To accomplish this, sealant is pumped
into the tires, which seals the damage from the inside.
The compressor can be used to check the tire inflation pressure.
General
information
'yFollow the instructions on using the Mobi#j lity System found on the compressor and
sealant container.'yUse of the Mobility System may be ineffec#j
tive if the tire puncture measures approx.
1/8 inches/4 mm or more.'yContact a dealer#ss service center or an#j other qualified service center or repair
shop if the tire cannot be made drivable.'yIf possible, do not remove foreign bodies that have penetrated the tire.'yPull the speed limit sticker off the sealant
container and apply it to the steering
wheel.'yThe use of a sealant can damage the TPM wheel electronics. In this case, have theelectronics checked at the next opportu#jnity and have them replaced, if needed.
Storage
The Mobility System is located behind the leftside trim in the cargo area.

7.With the ignition turned on or the engine
running, switch on the compressor.
DANGER
If the exhaust pipe is blocked or ventila#j
tion is insufficient, harmful exhaust gases can
enter into the vehicle. The exhaust gases con#j tain carbon monoxide, an odorless and color#jless but highly toxic gas. In enclosed areas, ex#j
haust gases can also accumulate outside of
the vehicle. There is danger to life. Keep the
exhaust pipe free and ensure sufficient ventila#j tion.'

'yTo reduce the pressure: press the but#jton on the compressor.
Continuing
the
trip
Do not exceed the maximum permissible
speed of 50 mph/80 km/h.
Reinitialize the Flat Tire Monitor.
Reinitialize the Tire Pressure Monitor.
Replace the nonworking tire and the sealant
container of the Mobility System as soon as
possible.
Snow
chains
Fine-link
snow
chains
The manufacturer of your vehicle recommends use of fine-link snow chains. Certain types of
fine-link snow chains have been tested by the
manufacturer of the vehicle and recommended
as road-safe and suitable.
Information regarding suitable snow chains is
available from a dealer#ss service center or an#j
other qualified service center or repair shop.
Use WARNING
With the mounting of snow chains on un#j
suitable tires, the snow chains can come into contact with vehicle parts. There is a risk of ac#j
cidents or risk of property damage. Only mount
snow chains on tires that are designated by
their manufacturer as suitable for the use of
snow chains.'
