Repairing a flat tire
8 Press and hold the button for oper-
ating the compressor. Watch the
pressure gauge carefully as you do
so. As long as the pressure reading
is between approx. 5–8 bar, sealant
is being forced into the tire. When
the pressure gauge falls signifi-
cantly below approx. 5–8 bar while
the compressor is operating, all of
the sealant is in the tire. Air is being
pumped into the tire.

there is a pressure reading of
2.5 bar. This may take several min-
utes.

that has been reached, release the
button.
11 After the tire has been filled with air,
remove the black hose 2 from the
device and disengage the clear
hose 4 from the device. To do this,
press the outer ring of the connec-
tor toward the device.

After using the M Mobility System,
drive a distance of at least
1-1/4 miles (2 km) so that the sealant is
distributed evenly within the tire. When
doing so, do not drive below a speed of
12 mph (20 km/h) or above 36 mph
(60 km/h). Following that, check the tire
pressure as soon as possible – at the
next filling station, for instance – and
adjust the pressure to the correct spec-
ification (refer to page 26) if necessary.
If the tire cannot hold the correct pres-
sure, do not continue to drive. Consult
the nearest authorized BMW center or a
tire dealer.<
Replace the defective tire as soon as
possible. Have the wheel and tire bal-
anced and have the M Mobility System
filled. Contact your authorized BMW
center for this.
Please note that the system's sealant
container must be replaced every three
years by your BMW center if the device
is not used.
You will find corresponding instruc-
tions for using the M Mobility System on
the device.
