Idrive tire monitor

While driving to work I got a message on Idrive about a flat tire.
I was late for a meeting so I didnt really check very well. Visually I dont see any flat tire.

Can it be that the tires are running low on pressure? Or will that be a error on my Idrive if that is the case.

When I check Idrive I see yellow color on all tires and have the sign on my dash panel.

Check the tire pressures with a tire gauge first. With RFT's its not really possible to visually see if a tire has low pressure.

also if you just recently changed your summers over to your winters you would have to reset the tire pressure monitor...

Yes I swapped my winter setup and have about 1000 kms driving on it now. I didnt reset the TPMS.

I will try a reset on Idrive.

If indeed I have a flat tire, whats the limit on driving with the runflats?

Since you have the yellow warning on all 4 tires at the same time it's pretty safe to say that you don't have 4 flat tires.

I think it's 100km @ 80km/h or something like that, too many factors to consider so it's probably not all that accurate.
