of the pressure gauge 3 is tightened
down. Turn on the M Mobility sys-
tem, position I, refer to illustration,

the sealant flow in. It does not matter
afterward, what the tire's inflation
pressure is

5. Turn the system off.

Disconnect the connector hose from
the sealant container and the wheel
valve. Stow the M Mobility system in
the luggage compartment.

Distributing the sealant

Right afterward, drive at least
1 1/4 miles / 2 km, so that the liquid
sealant distributes evenly throughout
the inside of the tire.

Do not exceed a maximum speed
of 40 mph / 60 km/h.

If possible, keep the vehicle speed
above 10 mph / 20 km/h. Stop in a suit-
able spot.

Inflating tire to correct pressure

1. Take out the hose with the pressure

gauge and screw it onto the valve.
Take the plug out and plug it into the
cigarette lighter socket in the pas-
senger compartment

2. Reset the air pressure to 29 psi/

200 kilopascal, and:
> Increase tire pressure: switch on

the M Mobility System, position I.
Switch off the unit briefly to check
the current tire pressure

> Decrease tire pressure: turn the

screw on the back of the manome-
ter. A valve located there will open
