RPA: Run Flat Indicator
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 45 other vehicles, including the 2016 BMW M5, 2016 BMW 550i xDrive, 2016 BMW 550i, 2016 BMW 535i xDrive, and 2016 BMW 535i. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The Run Flat Indicator (RPA) is not a function of the driving dynamics control. The RPA is integrated in the DSC control unit, as for this function the 4 wheel speed signals are required. By comparing the wheel speeds of all four wheels, the system detects differences in the tire rolling circumferences of the individual wheels. This enables a gradual tire pressure loss to be detected. The Run Flat Indicator can be initialized in the Central Information Display (CID).
