Replacing components 4. Screw dust cap off valve of defective wheel and screw filling hose 2 of sealant bottle onto valve. 5. Insert sealant bottle on compressor housing so that it is positioned upright. 4. Correct tire inflation pressure to 29 psi/ 200 kPa. With the ignition switched on: > Increase inflation pressure: switch on compressor, position I. To check currently set inflation pressure, briefly switch off device. Do not allow compressor to run longer than 10 minutes, otherwise the device will overheat and may be damaged.< > Reduce inflation pressure: press button 8 or turn screw 8 on pressure gauge. 6. Make sure that device is switched off, position 0. 7. Insert connector 3 into lighter socket in vehicle interior, refer to page 97. 8. With the ignition switched on: Switch on the device and allow to run for approx. 3 minutes to fill wheel with sealant. It is not important what inflation pressure the tire has after filling. 9. Switch off device. 10. Remove connecting hose from connection of sealant bottle and tire valve. Stow the M Mobility System in the vehicle again. If the inflation pressure is not held, drive the vehicle again, refer to Distributing sealant. Then repeat steps 1 to 4 once. Using the M Mobility System can be ineffective with tire damage from a size of approx. 0.16 in/ 4 mm. Please contact the nearest BMW center, refer to page 197, 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 continue driving.< Continue driving Do not exceed the permissible maximum speed of 50 mph/80 km/h, otherwise accidents can occur.< Reinitialize the Flat Tire Monitor. For details, refer to page 77. Have the defective tire and the sealant bottle of the M Mobility System replaced as soon as possible.< Distributing sealant Immediately drive approx. 2 miles/3 km so that sealant is evenly distributed in tire. Do not exceed a maximum speed of 35 mph/60 km/h. Do not drop below 12 mph/20 km/h if possible.< Producing tire inflation pressure 1. After approx. 2 miles/3 km, stop at suitable location. 2. Screw compressor hose 9 directly onto tire valve. 3. Insert connector 3 in lighter socket in vehicle interior. Changing wheels Safety precautions in the event of a flat tire or wheel change: park the vehicle as far as possible from passing traffic and on solid ground. Switch on the hazard warning flashers. Lock the steering wheel in straight-ahead setting of the wheels. Set the handbrake and 192 Online Edition for Part No. 01 41 0 012 213 - © 02/06 BMW AG
