the sealant bottle

nector on the compressor so that it is
standing upright

Switch on the compressor and keep
it running for approx. 3 minutes to fill

pressure is

9. Turn the system off and disconnect

the hose from the sealant bottle and
the wheel valve. Stow the M Mobility
system in the vehicle.

Distributing the sealant

distributed evenly in the tire.

of 35 mph / 60 km/h. If possible,

keep the vehicle speed above 12 mph /
20 km/h.

Inflating tire to correct pressure

pull over at a suitable location

pressor directly onto the tire valve

lighter socket inside the vehicle
