Replacing components Using the M Mobility System To repair a flat tire with the M Mobility System, proceed as follows: > Fill the sealant, refer to page 132. > Distribute the sealant, refer to page 132. > Produce the tire inflation pressure, refer to page 132. Return the M Mobility System to its storage location in the vehicle. Distributing the sealant Immediately drive approx. 2 miles/3 km to evenly distribute the sealant in the tire. Do not exceed a speed of 35 mph/ 60 km/h. If possible, do not fall below a speed of 12 mph/20 km/h.< Filling the sealant Strictly follow the specified sequence, otherwise the sealant may escape under high pressure.< 1. Shake the sealant bottle. 2. Screw connection hose 9 onto the connector of the sealant bottle. 3. Ensure that screw 8 on the pressure gauge is closed. 4. Unscrew the dust cap from the valve of the defective wheel and screw filling hose 2 of the sealant bottle onto the valve. 5. Insert the sealant bottle into the housing of the compressor so that the bottle is upright. Producing the tire inflation pressure 1. After driving approx. 2 miles/3 km, stop at a suitable location. 2. Connect connection hose 9 of the compressor directly to the tire valve. 3. Insert connector 3 into the cigarette lighter socket in the interior of the vehicle. 4. Adjust the tire inflation pressure to 29 psi/ 200 kPa. With the ignition switched on, proceed as follows: > To increase the inflation pressure: Switch on the compressor, position I. To check the current inflation pressure setting, briefly switch off the compressor. Do not let the compressor run for more than 10 minutes, otherwise the device will overheat and may be damaged.< > To reduce the inflation pressure: turn screw 8 on the pressure gauge. If the inflation pressure is not maintained, drive the vehicle a second time, refer to Distributing the sealant. Then repeat steps 1 to 4. Use of the M Mobility System may be ineffectual for tire damage larger than approx. 0.16 in/ 4 mm. Please contact the nearest BMW center, refer to page 135, or a workshop that works according to BMW repair procedures with correspondingly trained personnel if the tire cannot be made roadworthy with the M Mobility System.< The tire inflation pressure must be at least 29 psi/200 kPa. If it is not, do not continue driving.< 6. Ensure that the compressor is switched off, position 0. 7. Insert connector 3 into the cigarette lighter socket in the interior of the vehicle, refer to page 90. 8. With the ignition switched on: Switch on the compressor and let it run for approx. 3 minutes to fill the sealant. The inflation pressure of the tire after filling is unimportant. 9. Switch off the compressor. 10. Detach the hoses from the sealant bottle connector and from the tire valve. 132 Online Edition for Part no. 01 41 0 014 960 - © 02/08 BMW AG
