2017 BMW 5 SERIES GRAN TURISMO Owners Manual

If a tire inflation pressure of 2 bar cannot be
reached, contact your dealerss service cenj ter or another qualified service center orrepair shop.
Stowing
the
Mobility
System
1.Unscrew the filling hose of the sealant conj
tainer from the wheel.2.Unscrew the connection hose of the comj pressor from the sealant container.3.Connect the filling hose of the sealant conj
tainer previously connected to the tire
valve with the available connector on the
sealant container.
This prevents leftover sealant from escapj
ing from the container.4.Wrap the empty sealant container in suitaj ble material to avoid dirtying the cargoarea.5.Stow the Mobility System back in the vehijcle.
Distributing
the
sealant
Immediately drive approx. 5 miles/10 km to enjsure that the sealant is evenly distributed in thetire.
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.
Correcting
the
tire
inflation
pressure
1.Stop at a suitable location.2.Screw the connection hose of the comj pressor directly onto the tire valve stem.3.Insert the connector into the power socket
inside the vehicle.4.Correct the tire inflation pressure to
2.5 bar.'yIncrease pressure: with the ignition
turned on or the engine running, switch
on the compressor.'yTo reduce the pressure: press the butj 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.
Reinitialize the Tire Pressure Monitor.
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
fine-link snow chains have been tested by the
manufacturer of the vehicle and recommended
as road-safe and suitable.
Information regarding suitable snow chains is
available from a dealerss service center or anj
other qualified service center or repair shop.
Use WARNING
With the mounting of snow chains on unj

Changing
wheels/tires General
information
When using run-flat tires or tire sealants, a tire
does not always need to be changed immedij ately in the event of pressure loss due to a flat
tire.
If needed, the tools for changing wheels are
available as accessories from a dealerss service
center or another qualified service center or rej pair shop.
Safety
information WARNING
On soft or slippery ground, e.g., snow,
