Detects Drop In Tyre Pressure
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 228 other vehicles, including the 2013 BMW X6, 2012 BMW X6, 2012 BMW 750i, 2012 BMW 750Li, and 2011 BMW X6. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The RPA records the wheel speeds using the wheel-speed sensors from the DSC. The RPA compares the speeds of the individual wheels and computes an average speed. In this way the RPA is able to detect a loss of tire pressure. (In the event of a tire losing pressure, the tire rolling circumference of the affected tire is also reduced.)
