Question - Replace with Non-RunFlats and Flat Tire Alarm??

mds82 · 11-11-2005, 01:34 PM

i'm sure this has been answeres before but i cant find the answer for the life of me. If i replace my wheels with non-runflat tires, will the flat tire alarm go off all the time? i know there is a setting in the Nav menu about the tire pressure, but i dont really know enough about this. Thanks everyone for the help!

No, the flat tire warning is a function of the rotation of the tire as sensed by the ABS system, once you reinitialise it it should be fine until/unless you actually have a flat tire, in which case I trust you have a non-runflat plan B.
