Using the M Mobility System
To repair a flat tire with the M Mobility System,
proceed as follows:
>
Fill sealant into wheel
>
Distribute sealant
>
Restore tire inflation pressure
Filling sealant into wheel
Strictly adhere to the specified order, oth-
erwise highly pressurized sealant could
escape.
<
1.
Shake sealant bottle.
2.
Screw hose
9 onto connection of sealant
bottle.
3.
Unscrew and remove dust cap from valve of
defective wheel and screw filler hose
2 of
sealant bottle onto valve.
4.
Insert sealant bottle on compressor hous-
ing so that the bottle is in an upright posi-
tion.
5.
Make sure that the device is switched off,
position 0.
6.
Insert connector
3 into cigarette lighter
socket inside the vehicle.
7.
With the ignition switched on:
Switch on the device and allow it to run for
approx. 3 minutes to fill the wheel with seal-
ant. It is not important what inflation pres-
sure the tire has after this.
8.
Switch off device.
9.
Remove connecting hoses from connection
of sealant bottle and tire valve.
Stow the M Mobility System in the vehicle
again.
Distributing sealant
Immediately drive approx. 2 miles/3 km so that
the sealant is evenly distributed in the tire.
Do not exceed a speed of 35 mph or
60 km/h. Do not drive slower than 12 mph
or 20 km/h if possible.

Restoring tire inflation pressure
1.
After approx. 2 miles/3 km, pull over at a
suitable location.
2.
Screw compressor hose
9 directly onto tire
valve.
3.
Insert connector
3 into cigarette lighter
socket inside the vehicle.
4.
Correct tire inflation pressure to 29 psi/
200 kPa. With the ignition switched on:
>
To increase inflation pressure: switch on
the compressor, position I. Switch off
the device briefly to check the tire's cur-
rent inflation pressure.
Do not allow the compressor to run
for more than 10 minutes, otherwise
the device will overheat and may be dam-
aged.
<
>
To reduce inflation pressure: press but-
ton
8.
if the inflation pressure is not maintained,
drive the vehicle again, refer to Distribut-
ing sealant. Then repeat steps 1 to 4 once.
Using the M Mobility System can be ineffective
with tire punctures larger than approx. 1/6 in/
4 mm. Please contact the nearest BMW Center
or a workshop that works according to BMW
repair procedures with correspondingly trained
personnel if the tire cannot be made ready for
driving with the M Mobility System.
<
The tire inflation pressure must be at least
29 psi/200 kPa. Otherwise do not con-
tinue driving.
