Components of the M Mobility System
1Sealant bottle and label with speed restric-
tion
2Filling hose from sealant bottle to wheel
3Connector and cable for the cigarette
lighter socket/power socket
4Holder for the sealant bottle
5Compressor
6On/off switch
7Pressure gauge for displaying the tire infla-
tion pressure
8Screw on pressure gauge to reduce tire
inflation pressure
9Hose to connect compressor and sealant
bottle or compressor and wheel
The connector, cable and connection hose are
stored in the compressor housing.
Using the M Mobility System
To repair a flat tire with the M Mobility System,
proceed as follows:
>Fill the sealant, refer to page218.
>Distribute the sealant, refer to page218.
>Produce the tire inflation pressure, refer to
page219.
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/power socket in the interior of the
vehicle, refer to page107.
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.
