8.With the ignition switch ed on or the engine 
running, switch on the compressor.
Let the compressor ru n for approx. 3 to 
8 minutes to fill the ti re with sealant and 
achieve a tire inflation pressure of approx. 
36 PSI/250 kPa.
9. Switch off the compressor.
While the tire is being f illed with sealant, the dis-
played inflation pressu re may briefly reach 
approx. 73 PSI/500 kPa. Do not switch off the 
compressor in this phase.
Do not run the engine in enclosed areas; 
otherwise, the inhalati on of toxic exhaust 
gases can cause loss of consciousness and 
death. The exhaust gases contain carbon 
monoxide, an odorless and colorless, but highly 
toxic gas. <
Do not let the compre ssor run for more 
than 10 minutes, otherwise the device will 
overheat and may be damaged. <
If an inflation pressure of 29 PSI/2 bar cannot be 
reached:
1. Switch off the compressor. 
2. Unscrew the filler hose  from the tire valve.
3. Drive 33 ft/10 m forward and in reverse to 
distribute the sealing  compound in the tire.
4. Inflate the tire again  with the compressor.
If an inflation pressure of 29 PSI/200 kPa 
still cannot be reached,  the tire is too heavily 
damaged. Contact your BMW center.Stowing Mobility System
1. Unscrew the filler hose of the sealant bottle 
from the tire valve.
2. Unscrew the connecting hose of the 
compressor from the sealant bottle.
3. Connect the filler hose of the sealant bottle 
to the unoccupied  connection on the 
sealant bottle.
This prevents the rest of the sealant from 
escaping from the bottle.
4. Wrap the empty sealant bottle in suitable 
material to avoid dirtying the cargo area.
5. Stow Mobility System back in the vehicle.
Distributing the sealant
Immediately drive approx. 3 miles/5 km to 
evenly distribute the sealant in the tire.
Do not exceed a speed of 50 mph/
80 km/h. If possible, do not fall below a 
speed of 12 mph/20 km/h. <
Correcting the tire inflation pressure
1.Stop at a suitable location.
2. Connect connecting hose of the compres-
sor directly to the tire valve.
3. Insert the plug into th e power socket in the 
vehicle interior.
4. Adjust the tire inflation pressure to 36 PSI/
250 kPa. With the engine running:
>To increase the inflation pressure: With 
the ignition switched on or the engine 
running, switch on the compressor.
To check the inflatio n pressure, switch 
off the compressor.
> To reduce the inflation pressure: Press 
the discharge button on the compres-
sor.
If the inflation pressure is not maintained, 
drive the vehicle a second time, refer to 
Distributing the sealant. Then repeat steps 1 
to 4.

Vehicle equipment
In this chapter, all pr oduction, country, and 
optional equipment that is offered in the model 
range is described. For this reason, descrip-
tions will be given of some equipment that may 
not be available in a vehi cle, for example due to 
the special options or  national-market version 
selected. This also app lies to safety related 
functions and systems.
The concept
Indicator and warning lamps appear in the dis-
play area. See the table for information on 
causes and how to react.  Note whether a lamp 
lights up alone or in combination with another. 
Some lamps can light up in different colors. 
Corresponding distinctions are made in the 
text.
In addition to the indi cator lamps described in 
the Owner's Manual for the vehicle, please note 
the following indicator lamps in your
