less but highly toxic gas. In enclosed areas, ex‐
haust gases can also accumulate outside of the
vehicle. There is danger to life. Keep the ex‐
haust pipe free and ensure sufficient ventila‐
tion. ◀
Storage
The Mobility System is located under the cargo
floor panel.

Filling the tire with sealant
1.Shake the sealant container.2.Pull filling hose completely out of the cover
of the sealant bottle. Do not kink the hose.3.Slide the sealing container into the holder
on the compressor housing, ensuring that it
engages audibly.Seite 191Wheels and tiresMOBILITY191

4.Screw the filling hose of the sealant con‐
tainer onto the tire valve of the nonworking
wheel.5.With the compressor switched off, insert
the plug into the power socket inside the
vehicle.6.With operating readiness switched on or
the engine running, switch on the compres‐
sor.
Let the compressor run for max. 10 minutes to
fill the tire with sealant and achieve a tire infla‐
tion pressure of approx. 2.5 bar.
While the tire is being filled with sealant, the
tire inflation pressure may sporadically reach
approx. 5 bar. Do not switch off the compressor
at this point.
CAUTION
The compressor can overheat during ex‐
tended operation. There is risk of property
damage. Do not run the compressor for more
than 10 min. ◀
If a tire inflation 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 a tire inflation pressure of 2 bar cannot be
reached, contact your dealer’s service cen‐
ter or another qualified service center or re‐
pair shop.
Stowing the Mobility System
1.Remove the connection hose of the sealant
container from the wheel.2.After pressing the red unlock button on the
compressor, remove the sealing container.3.Wrap the empty sealant container in suita‐
ble material to avoid dirtying the trunk.4.Stow the Mobility System back in the vehi‐
cle.
Distributing the sealant
Immediately drive approx. 5 miles/10 km to en‐
sure that the sealant is evenly distributed in the
tire.
Do not exceed a speed of 50 mph/80 km/h.
If possible, do not drive at speeds less than
12 mph/20 km/h.

To correct the tire inflation pressure1.Stop at a suitable location.2.Screw the connection hose of the compres‐
sor directly onto the tire valve stem.3.Insert the connector into a power socket in‐
side the vehicle.4.Correct the tire inflation pressure to at least
2.0 bar.▷Increase pressure: with the ignition
turned on or the engine running, switch
on the compressor.▷To reduce the pressure: press the but‐
ton on the compressor.
Continuing the trip
Do not exceed the maximum permissible speed
of 50 mph/80 km/h.
Reinitialize the Flat Tire Monitor, refer to
page 107.
Reinitialize the Tire Pressure Monitor, refer to
page 103.
Replace the nonworking tire and the sealant
container of the Mobility System as soon as
possible.
Snow chains
Fine-link snow chains
The manufacturer of your vehicle recommends use of fine-link snow chains. Certain types of

available from a dealer’s service center or an‐ other qualified service center or repair shop.
Use Use only in pairs on the front wheels, equipped
with the tires of the following size:▷175/65 R 15.▷175/60 R 16.
John Cooper Works:
▷185/50 R 17.
Follow the snow chain manufacturer's instruc‐
tions.
Make sure that the snow chains are always suf‐
ficiently tight. Re-tighten as needed according
to the snow chain manufacturer's instructions.
Do not initialize the Flat Tire Monitor after
mounting snow chains, as doing so may result
in incorrect readings.
Do not initialize the Tire Pressure Monitor after
mounting snow chains, as doing so may result
in incorrect readings.
When driving with snow chains, briefly activate
Dynamic Traction Control if needed.
Maximum speed with snow chains

The nonworking wheel cannot be stored in
the emergency wheel bracket because of
its size.3.Check tire inflation pressure at the next op‐
portunity and correct as needed.4.Reinitialize the Flat Tire Monitor, refer to
page 107.
Reinitialize the Tire Pressure Monitor, refer
to page 104.5.Check to make sure the lug bolts are tight

Driving with emergency wheel
WARNING
The emergency wheel has particular di‐
mensions. When driving with an emergency wheel, changed driving properties may occur at
higher speeds, for example reduced lane stabil‐
ity when braking, longer braking distance and
changed self-steering properties in the limit
area. There is risk of an accident. Drive moder‐
ately and do not exceed a speed of
50 mph/80 km/h. ◀
After the trip with emergency wheel Have the following work performed only by a
dealer's service center or another qualified
service center or repair shop.
1.Replace the damaged tires as soon as pos‐
sible.2.Replace the emergency wheel with a new
wheel.3.Have the tray with the emergency wheel
installed.
