It is necessary to initiate the RPA reset process IMMEDIATELY after every tyre
pressure correction, after a tyre or wheel change or after a trailer has been attached
or detached. The reset MUST be started before driving the vehicle for the first time
after one of the above events.
When a reset is required (due to a pressure change in one of the tyres) the vehicle
will inform the driver by turning on the RPA Warning Lamp, which will glow red, and
sounding an acoustic signal.
When the RPA Warning Lamp is on but the colour is yellow this indicates that the RPA
system has failed or is malfunctioning. In this case the system must be diagnosed
using a OmiCheck.
The RPA reset process can be started in two different ways depending on the model.
For vehicles with an iDrive (BMW 5 Series (E60/E61), BMW 7 Series (E65/E66/
E67/E68)):
• On iDrive open the menu.
• Select ‘Vehicle Settings’.
• Select ‘FTM’.
• Start the Engine but do NOT start driving.
• Select ‘Set Tyre Pressure’.
• Select ‘Yes’.
• Start to drive the vehicle, the message ‘initialising’ should be displayed on the
iDrive screen.
• The Reset will terminate during shortly after while the vehicle is being driven. The
message ‘Status: Active’ should be displayed on the iDrive screen when the Reset
has terminated correctly.
• If the vehicle is stopped while the reset is occurring the reset will be interrupted and
will be resumed when the vehicle is driven again.
For BMW 3 Series (E90/E91/E92/E93):
• Start the engine but do NOT start driving.
• Use the menu control button on the indicator stalk to move up or down until the
‘RESET’ menu item appears.
• Press the select button on the end of the indicator stalk to confirm your choice of
the Run Flat Indicator reset option.
• Hold the button down for approximately 5 seconds until the ‘RESET?’ symbol is
shown.
