BMW 2 SERIES COUPE 2018 Owners Manual

Rotating
wheels
between
axlesDifferent wear patterns can occur on the frontand rear axles depending on individual driving
conditions. The tires can be rotated in pairs
between the axles to achieve even wear. Furj ther information is available from a dealerssservice center or another qualified service cenj
ter or repair shop. After rotating, check the tire
pressure and correct, if needed.
Rotating the tires between the axes is not perj
missible on vehicles with different tire sizes or rim sizes on the front and rear axles.
Storing
tires
Air
pressure Do not exceed the maximum tire inflation presj
sure indicated on the side wall of the tire.
Storage Store wheels and tires in a cool, dry and darkplace.
Always protect tires against all contact with oil,
grease, and solvents.
Do not leave tires in plastic bags.
Remove dirt from wheels or tires.
Run-flat
tires
Concept
Run-flat tires permit continued driving under
restricted conditions even in the event of a complete loss of tire inflation pressure.
General
information The wheels consist of tires that are self-supj
porting, to a limited degree, and possibly spej
cial rims.
The support of the sidewall allows the tire to remain drivable to a restricted degree in the
event of a tire inflation pressure loss.Follow the instructions for continued driving
with a flat tire.
Safety
information WARNING
Your vehicle handles differently with a
run-flat with no or low inflation pressure; for inj stance, your lane stability when braking is rejduced, braking distances are longer and theself-steering properties will change. There is a
risk of an accident.
Drive moderately and do not exceed a speed of 50 mph/80 km/h.'

such as behind a guardrail.'yIf necessary, set up a warning triangle at an
appropriate distance.
Mobility
System
Concept
With the Mobility System, minor tire damage can be sealed temporarily to enable continued
travel. To accomplish this, sealant is pumped
into the tires, which seals the damage from the inside.
General
information
'yFollow the instructions on using the Mobij lity System found on the compressor and
sealant container.'yUse of the Mobility System may be ineffecj
tive if the tire puncture measures approx.
1/8 inches/4 mm or more.'yContact a dealerss service center or anj other qualified service center or repair
shop if the tire cannot be made drivable.'yIf possible, do not remove foreign bodies that have penetrated the tire. Only remove
foreign objects if they are visibly protruding from the tire.'yPull the speed limit sticker off the sealant
container and apply it to the steering
wheel.'yThe use of a sealant can damage the TPM wheel electronics. In this case, have theTPM wheel electronics replaced at thenext opportunity.'yThe compressor can be used to check the
tire inflation pressure.
Storage
The Mobility System is located under thecargo floor panel.

Filling
the
tire
with
sealant
Safety
information DANGER
If the exhaust pipe is blocked or ventilaj
tion is insufficient, harmful exhaust gases can
enter into the vehicle. The exhaust gases conj tain pollutants which are colorless and odorj
less. In enclosed areas, exhaust gases can also
accumulate outside of the vehicle. There is
danger to life. Keep the exhaust pipe free and
ensure sufficient ventilation.'

5.Remove the valve cap from the tire valveand screw the connection hose onto thetire valve of the nonworking wheel.6.With the compressor switched off, insert
the plug into a power socket inside the vej
hicle.7.With the ignition switched on or the engine running, switch on the compressor.
Let the compressor run for max. 10 minutes tofill the tire with sealant and achieve a tire inflaj
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 compresj
sor at this point.
If a tire inflation pressure of 2 bar is not
reached:1.Switch off the compressor.2.Pull the connector out of the power socket inside the vehicle.3.Unscrew the filling hose from the tire valve.4.Drive 33 ft/10 m forward and back to disjtribute the sealant in the tire.5.Inflate the tire again using the compressor.
If a tire inflation pressure of 2 bar cannot be
reached, contact your dealerss service cenj
ter or another qualified service center or repair shop.
Stowing
the
Mobility
System
1.Remove the connection hose of the sealj
ant container from the tire valve.2.Pull the compressor connector out of the socket inside the vehicle.3.Remove the connection hose from thesealant container.4.Wrap and store the sealant container and
the connection hose in suitable material to
avoid dirtying the cargo area.5.Stow the Mobility System back in the cargo area.
Distributing
the
sealant
Immediately drive approx. 5 miles/10 km to enjsure that the sealant is evenly distributed in thetire.
Do not exceed the permissible maximum
speed of 50 mph/80 km/h.
If possible, do not drive at speeds less than
12 mph/20 km/h.

ignition switched on or the engine runj
ning, switch on the compressor.'yReduce tire inflation pressure: press
the button on the compressor.Continuing
the
trip
Do not exceed the maximum permissible
speed of 50 mph/80 km/h.
Reinitialize the run-flat tires.
Reset the Tire Pressure Monitor TPM.
Replace the nonworking tire and the sealant
container of the Mobility System at the next
opportunity.
Snow
chains Fine-link
snow
chains
The manufacturer of your vehicle recommends use of fine-link snow chains. Certain types offine-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 anjother qualified service center or repair shop.
Use Use only in pairs on the rear wheels, equippedwith the tires of the following size:'y205/50 R 17.'y225/45 R 17.'y225/40 R 18.
Follow the snow chain manufacturer's instrucjtions.
Do not initialize the run-flat tires after mountj
ing snow chains, as doing so may result in inj
correct readings.
Do not reset the Tire Pressure Monitor TPM after mounting snow chains, as doing so mayresult in incorrect readings.
When driving with snow chains, briefly activate
Dynamic Traction Control DTC, if needed.

Changing
wheels/tiresGeneral
information
When using run-flat tires or a flat tire kit, a
wheel does not always need to be changed imj mediately when there is a loss of tire inflation
pressure 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 DANGER
The vehicle jack is only provided for
short-term lifting of the vehicle for wheel
changes. Even if all safety measures are obj
served, there is a risk of the raised vehicle fallj
ing, if the vehicle jack tilts over. There is a risk
of injuries or danger to life. If the vehicle is
raised, do not lie under the vehicle and do not
start the engine.'

On
a
level
surface
Place chocks or other suitable objects, for exjample a rock, in front of and behind the wheel
that is diagonally opposite to the wheel that you wish to change.
On
a
slight
downhill
gradient
If you need to change a wheel on a slight downhill grade, place chocks and other suitajble objects, for instance a rock, under the
wheels of both the front and rear axles against
the rolling direction.

Concept
The wheel lug bolts have a special coding. The
lug bolts can only be released with the adapter which matches the coding.
Overview
The adapter of the lug bolt lock is in the onj board vehicle tool kit or in a storage compartj
ment close to the onboard vehicle tool kit.
