162n
Safety measures in the event
of a flat tire:
Stop the vehicle as far as possible from
the flow of traffic. Turn on the hazard
warning flashers.
Engage the steering lock with the
wheels in the straight-ahead position.
Set the parking brake and engage
either first gear or reverse gear.
All passengers should be outside the
car and well away from your working
area (behind a guard rail, for instance).
If a warning triangle or portable hazard
warning lamp is available, set it up on
the roadside at an appropriate distance
from the rear of the vehicle.
Comply with all safety guidelines and
regulations.<
M Mobility system
In place of a spare tire, the M roadster
and the M coupe have the M Mobility
System.
It is located at the right-rear of the lug-
gage compartment. In the M coupe, it is
below a cover panel. Refer to page 163.
Before using the M Mobility Sys-
tem, carefully read the warning
and danger information on the device.
Always wear the enclosed protective
gloves and the protective goggles. Fail-
ure to comply with this information can
lead to risks to personal safety.<
The use of the M Mobility System
is not effective if the damaged
area in the tire is larger than approx.
0.15 inches (4 mm). Please consult the
nearest BMW center if the tire cannot
be temporarily repaired with the
M Mobility System or contact BMW
Roadside Assistance at 1-800-332-
4269.<
