Connector, cable and connecting hose are
attached to the bottom of the compressor.

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.
