Swapping Wheels/Tires
Well since spring appears to finally be here in Alberta, its time to swap on the summer wheels. I just purchased this vehicle, and when I got it it came with winter wheels and tires already on the vehicle, as well as the 369M wheels that came on it that are currently sitting in storage. So I want to swap these on, but I was curious if I'm going to have to do anything special to program tire pressure sensors, or if I can just swap them on and they will figure it out itself. Any help would be awesome.

What year is you vehicle? There are 2 different systems that monitor flat tyres.

Your system will have the system whereby the radius of the wheel/tyre is measured. Put the summer tyres on and do a reset from iDrive,then just drive.
On cars 09/2014 onwards the wheel have TPMS sensors which give exact psi readings on the iDrive display.same procedure of resetting the system, then drive off. |

If a tyre loses pressure, its diameter changes. This in turn alters the rotational speed of the corresponding wheel. This is detected and reported as a flat tyre and is indicated by a Yellow light illuminating on the dashboard. You should ensure all your tyre pressures are as required and then the system is initialised from the iDrive as follows: >Vehicle information. >Vehicle status. >Perform test. >Start the engine - do not drive off. >Start the initialisation with "Perform reset". >Drive off. Initialising is completed while the vehicle is in motion. The complete procedure is on page 102 of the UK owners handbook. Yours may be different.
