switch back and forth between "Comfort" and
"Sport".
Comfort program
The Comfort program is suitable for use
throughout the vehicle's entire speed range and
regardless of load.

FTM Flat Tire Monitor*

The concept
The Flat Tire Monitor keeps track of the infla-
tion pressures in the four mounted tires as you
drive. The system triggers an alert whenever
the inflation pressure drops significantly in rela-
tion to the pressure in another tire.
When a loss of pressure occurs, the rolling
radius changes and with it, the rotational speed
of the wheels. This change is detected and sig-
naled as a flat tire.
Functional requirements
To ensure the reliable signaling of a flat tire, the
system must be initialized at the correct tire
inflation pressure.
The initialization must be repeated after
every correction of the tire inflation pres-
sure and after every tire or wheel change.<
System limits
The Flat Tire Monitor cannot indicate
sudden severe tire damage caused by
outside factors and does not detect a natural,
even pressure drop in all four tires.<
In the following situations, the system could be
delayed or malfunction:
> When the system has not been initialized.
> When driving on snow-covered or slippery
road surfaces.
> Performance-oriented style of driving: slip
in the drive wheels, high lateral acceleration.
> When driving with snow chains
*
.
Initializing system
The initialization is completed during driv-
ing, which can be interrupted at any time.
The initialization automatically continues when
driving resumes. Do not initialize the system
when driving with snow chains

What are the recommended driving techniques for different road conditions in the BMW 750Li (2008) car?

Here are the recommended driving techniques for different road conditions in the BMW 750Li (2008) car: 1. Wet or slushy roads: Reduce your speed to prevent hydroplaning, which is the loss of contact between the tires and the road surface. This can be dangerous and affect your ability to steer and brake. 2. Driving through water: Only drive through water with a maximum depth of 1 ft/30 cm and at a walking speed. Driving through deeper water can damage the engine, electrical systems, and transmission. 3. Safe braking: Apply the brakes fully when necessary. The BMW 750Li is equipped with ABS (Anti-lock Braking System), which allows you to maintain steering responsiveness while braking. Pulsation at the brake pedal and sounds from the hydraulic circuits indicate that ABS is active. 4. Driving in heavy rain: Apply light pressure to the brake pedal every few miles to help dry the brake pads and rotors, ensuring full braking efficiency when needed. Monitor traffic conditions to ensure the maneuver does not endanger other road users. 5. Driving on hills: To prevent overheating and reduced brake efficiency, drive long or steep downhill grades in the gear that requires the least amount of braking. Avoid excessive loads on the brake system by downshifting in the automatic transmission's manual mode. 6. Corrosion on brake rotors: When the vehicle is driven occasionally or during extended periods of non-use, corrosion can form on the brake rotors. This can cause a pulsating effect during braking. Regular brake applications are necessary to clean the rotors and prevent corrosion. 7. Before driving into a car wash: Fold in the exterior mirrors to prevent damage. Release the parking brake, especially if you have activated Automatic Hold. Remember to always drive responsibly and adapt your driving style to the road conditions for optimal safety and performance.
