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