BMW X6 2020-2021

The BMW X6 is a luxury midsize SUV with a unique look, strong speed, and high-tech features. The 2020 and 2021 BMW X6 models built on the success of the models that came before them by adding changes and improvements that made driving even better.
The BMW X6 has a bold and athletic look, with a coupe-like shape, strong body lines, and a large kidney grille. It looks different from other SUVs because it is sleek and fierce. This makes it look sporty and in charge on the road.

Under the hood, the 2020 and 2021 BMW X6 usually came with a variety of powerful engines that gave the car great speed and handling. A gearbox with eight speeds connected to these engines made gear changes smooth and easy. The X6 had BMW’s xDrive all-wheel drive system, which made sure it had good grip and handling even on rough roads.
Inside the BMW X6, the cabin was a place of luxury and cutting-edge technology. The inside was made of high-quality materials and had a lot of new and interesting features. Depending on the trim level and options chosen, the X6 could have had features like a large touchscreen infotainment system, wireless smartphone integration, a panoramic sunroof, luxury music systems, and advanced driver-assistance systems.

When it came to safety, the 2020 and 2021 BMW X6 usually came with a full set of high-tech safety features. Some of these might have been forward collision warning, lane departure warning, blind-spot tracking, a rearview camera, and automatic emergency braking. The goal of these safety technologies was to give drivers more trust and make driving safer.
The BMW X6 was fun and exciting to drive, combining the flexibility of an SUV with the expected performance and luxury of the brand. It was a good choice for people who wanted a luxurious and sporty midsize SUV because of its unique form, powerful engine options, and high-tech features.

Declaration according to NHTSA/FMVSS 138 Tire Pressure Monitoring System

Each tire, including the spare (if provided), should be checked monthly when cold and inflated to the inflation pressure recommended by the vehicle manufacturer on the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label. (If your vehicle has tires of a different size than the size indicated on the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label, you should determine the proper tire inflation pressure for those tires.) As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been equipped with a tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) that illuminates a low tire pressure telltale when one or more of your tires is significantly under-inflated. Accordingly, when the low tire pressure telltale illuminates, you should stop and check your tires as soon as possible, and inflate them to the proper pressure. Driving on a significantly under-inflated tire causes the tire to overheat and can lead to tire failure. Underinflation also reduces fuel efficiency and tire tread life and may affect the vehicle’s handling and stopping ability. Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for proper tire maintenance, and it is the driver’s responsibility to maintain correct tire pressure, even if under-inflation has not reached the level to trigger illumination of the TPMS low tire pressure telltale. Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS malfunction indicator to indicate when the system is not operating properly. The TPMS malfunction indicator is combined with the low tire pressure telltale. When the system detects a malfunction, the telltale will flash for approximately one minute and then remain continuously illuminated. This sequence will continue upon subsequent vehicle start-ups as long as the malfunction exists. When the malfunction indicator is illuminated, the system may not be able to detect or signal low tire pressure as intended. TPMS malfunctions may occur for a variety of reasons, including the installation of replacement or alternate tires or wheels on the vehicle that prevents the TPMS from functioning properly. Always check the TPMS malfunction telltale after replacing one or more tires or wheels on your vehicle to ensure that the replacement or alternate tires and wheels allow the TPMS to continue to function properly.

Flat Tire Monitor FTM

Principle
The Flat Tire display detects a tire pressure loss while driving and issues a warning if the tire pressure has dropped.

General information
The system detects tire pressure loss on the basis of rotation speed differences between the individual wheels while driving. In the event of a tire pressure loss, the diameter and therefore the rotational speed of the corresponding wheel changes. The difference will be detected and reported as a flat tire. The system does not measure the actual inflation pressure in the tires.

Functional requirements
The following conditions must be met for the system; otherwise, a reliable message of a tire pressure loss is not assured:

  • After a tire or wheel replacement, an initialization was performed with the correct tire inflation pressure.
  • After the tire pressure was adjusted to a new value, an initialization was performed.

Status display
The current status of the Flat Tire Monitor FTM can be displayed, for instance, whether the FTM is active.

  1. “CAR”
  2. “Vehicle status”
  3. “Flat Tire Monitor” The status is displayed.

Initialization required
Initialization must be performed in the following situations:

  • After the tire inflation pressure has been adjusted.
  • After a tire or wheel replacement.

Performing initialization
When initializing, the set tire inflation pressures serve as reference values in order to detect a flat tire. Initialization is started by confirming the tire inflation pressures.
Do not initialize the system when driving with tire chains.

  1. “CAR”
  2. “Vehicle status”
  3. “Flat Tire Monitor”
  4. Turn on the drive-ready state and do not drive off.
  5. Start the initialization with: “Perform reset”
  6. Drive away.

The initialization is completed while driving, which can be interrupted at any time. The initialization automatically continues when driving continues.

Messages
When a flat tire is indicated, DSC Dynamic Stability Control is switched on, if needed.

Normal tires

  1. Identify the damaged tire.
    To do this, check the tire pressure in all four tires, for instance using the tire pressure display of a flat tire kit. When the tire inflation pressure in all four tires is correct, the Flat Tire Monitor FTM may not have been initialized. In this case, initialize the system. If identification of flat tire damage is not possible, please contact a dealer’s service center or another qualified service center or repair shop.
  2. Repair the flat tire, e.g., with a flat tire kit or by changing the wheel.

Warning
The vehicle handles differently when a run-flat tire has insufficient or no tire pressure; for instance, reduced lane stability when braking, braking distances are longer and the self-steer‐ing properties will change. There is a risk of an accident. Drive moderately and do not exceed a speed of 50 mph/80 km/h.

Warning
Heavy trailers can start swinging when continuing to drive with a flat tire. There may be a risk of accident or risk of damage to property. Do not exceed a speed of 35 mph/60 km/h when driving with a trailer and a flat tire. Immediately brake in the case of swinging. Apply necessary steering corrections as carefully as possible.

Maximum speed
You may continue driving with a damaged tire at speeds up to 50 mph/80 km/h.

Continued driving with a flat tire
Follow the following when continuing to drive with a damaged tire:

  1. Avoid sudden braking and steering maneuvers.
  2. Do not exceed a speed of 50 mph/80 km/h.
  3. Check the tire inflation pressure in all four tires at the next opportunity.
    When the tire inflation pressure in all four tires is correct, the Flat Tire Monitor may not have been initialized. In this case, initialize the system.

Possible driving distance with a depressurized tire
The distance for which it may be possible to drive safely varies depending on how the vehicle is loaded and used, e.g., speed, road conditions, and outside temperature. The driving distance may be less but may also be more if an economical driving style is used. If the vehicle is loaded with an average weight and used under favorable conditions, the distance for which it may be safe to drive may be up to 50 miles/80 km.

Vehicle handling with damaged tires
Vehicles driven with a damaged tire will handle differently, potentially leading to conditions such as the following:

  • Greater likelihood of skidding of the vehicle.
  • Longer braking distances.
  • Changed self-steering properties.

Modify your driving style. Avoid abrupt steering maneuvers or driving over obstacles, for instance, curbs or potholes.
