RPA: Run Flat Indicator

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 6 other vehicles, including the 2016 MINI Cooper Countryman, 2015 MINI Cooper Countryman, 2014 MINI Cooper Countryman, 2013 MINI Cooper, and 2012 MINI Cooper. 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) or the instrument cluster (KOMBI2).
