Distributing The Sealant - BMW M5 Owner's Manual

Mobility
6. With the compressor switched off, insert the
plug into the power socket inside the vehi‐
cle.
7. With the ignition turned on or the engine
running, switch on the compressor.
Let the compressor run for approx. 3 to 8 mi‐
nutes to fill the tire with sealant and achieve a
tire inflation pressure of approx. 2.5 bar.
While the tire is being filled with sealant, the in‐
flation pressure may sporadically reach approx.
5 bar. Do not switch off the compressor in this
phase.
Enclosed areas
Do not let the engine run in enclosed
areas; otherwise, breathing of exhaust fumes
may lead to loss of consciousness and death.
The exhaust gases contain carbon monoxide, an
odorless and colorless but highly toxic gas.◀
Switch off the compressor after 10 mi‐
nutes
Do not allow the compressor to run longer than
10 minutes; otherwise, the device will overheat
and may be damaged.◀

If a tire pressure of 2 bar is not reached:
1. Switch off the compressor.
2. Unscrew the filling hose from the wheel.
3. Drive forward and back to distribute the
sealant in the tire.
4. Inflate the tire again using the compressor.
If an inflation pressure of 2 bar cannot be
reached, contact your service center.
Stowing the Mobility System
1. Unscrew the filling hose of the sealant bottle
from the wheel.
2. Unscrew the compressor connection hose
from the sealant bottle.
3. Connect the sealant bottle filling hose that
was previously connected to the valve to the
vacant connector on the sealant bottle.
This prevents left-over sealant from escap‐
ing from the bottle.
4. Wrap the empty sealant bottle in suitable
material to avoid dirtying the cargo area.
5. Stow the Mobility System back in the vehi‐
cle.

Distributing the sealant

Immediately drive approx. to ensure that the
sealant is evenly distributed in the tire.
Do not exceed a speed of .
Do not drop below if possible.
Correcting the tire inflation pressure
1. Stop at a suitable location.
2. Screw the connection hose of the compres‐
sor directly onto the tire valve.
3. Insert the connector into the power socket
in the vehicle interior.
4. Correct the tire inflation pressure to 2.5 bar.
▷ Increase pressure: with the ignition
turned on or the engine running, switch
on the compressor.
