Can You Still Drive a BMW Run-Flat Tire with a Nail Puncture if the Tire Pressure is Normal?
1 Answers
If a BMW run-flat tire has a nail puncture and the tire pressure is normal, it is safe to continue driving, indicating that the tire has not yet lost air. Tire Pressure Reset: A tire pressure reset is an operation performed on the tire pressure monitoring system after addressing a tire pressure fault to reset the system. Tire Pressure Reset Method: First, turn on the ignition, then press and hold the tire pressure monitoring reset button until you hear a "beep" sound before releasing it. The tire pressure monitoring system will then store the current normal tire pressure data, automatically clear the previous data, and finally, the dashboard warning light will turn off, completing the tire pressure reset. Tire Pressure Monitoring Light: The tire pressure monitoring indicator is a yellow symbol featuring an irregular circle with no top seal, four small spikes at the bottom, and an exclamation mark inside. When the tire pressure monitoring light illuminates, it indicates abnormal tire pressure. Abnormal tire pressure is generally caused by one of the following three reasons: 1. Abnormal Tire Pressure: The system typically alerts when the pressure is below 1.8 bar or above 3.0 bar. In such cases, inspect the tire and adjust the pressure accordingly. 2. Tire Pressure Monitoring Not Reset: After inflating the tire, if the tire pressure reset is not performed promptly, the system retains the old data, causing the tire pressure monitoring light to stay on. Simply perform a tire pressure reset to resolve this. 3. Damaged Tire Pressure Sensor: The tire pressure sensor, which monitors tire pressure, is installed inside the tire and connected to the inflation valve. If the sensor is damaged during driving (e.g., by impact), the tire pressure fault light may also illuminate. For sensor damage, the only solution is to replace it with a new component.
