Using the M Mobility System
To repair a flat tire with the M Mobility System,
proceed as follows:
> Fill the sealant, refer to page 123 .
> Distribute the sealant, refer to page 123 .
> Produce the tire inflation pressure, refer to
page
123 .
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 connec-
tor 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.
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
84 .
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.
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. <
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 com-
pressor directly to the tire valve.
3. Insert connector 3 into the cigarette lighter
socket in the interior of the vehicle.
