Following tire damage, have the original wheeland tire combination remounted on the vehicleas soon as possible.
WARNING
Wheels and tires which are not suitable
for your vehicle can damage parts of the vehij cle, e.g., due to contact with the body due to
tolerances despite the same official size rating.
There is a risk of an accident. The manufacj
turer of your vehicle strongly suggests that you use wheels and tires that have been recomjmended by the vehicle manufacturer for your
vehicle type.'

StorageStore wheels and tires in a cool, dry place with
as little exposure to light as possible.
Always protect tires against all contact with oil,
grease and fuels.
Do not exceed the maximum tire inflation presj sure indicated on the side wall of the tire.
Run-flattires Label
RSC label on the tire sidewall.
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.
Changingrun-flattires For your own safety, only use run-flat tires. No
spare tire is available in the case of a flat tire.
A dealerss service center will be glad to answeradditional questions at any time.
Repairingaflattire
Safetymeasures'yPark the vehicle as far away as possible
from passing traffic and on solid ground.'ySwitch on the hazard warning system.'ySecure the vehicle against rolling away by setting the parking brake.'yTurn the steering wheel until the frontwheels are in the straight-ahead position
and engage the steering wheel lock.'yHave all vehicle occupants get out of the vehicle and ensure that they remain outjside the immediate area in a safe place,
such as behind a guardrail.'yIf necessary, set up a warning triangle at an
appropriate distance.
MobilitySystem
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.
The compressor can be used to check the tire inflation pressure.
Generalinformation
'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.Seite 222MobilityWheelsandtires222

'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 theelectronics checked at the next opportujnity and have them replaced, if needed.
Storage
The Mobility System is located under thecargo floor panel.

Fillingthetirewithsealant
1.Shake the sealant container.2.Pull the connection hose fully out of the compressor housing. Do not kink the hose.3.Screw the connection hose onto the conjnector of the sealant container.Seite 223WheelsandtiresMobility223

4.Insert the sealant container on the comjpressor housing in an upright position.5.Screw the filling hose of the sealant conjtainer onto the tire valve of the nonworking
wheel.6.With the compressor switched off, insert
the plug into the power socket inside the
vehicle.7.With the ignition turned on or the engine
running, switch on the compressor.
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 carbon monoxide, an odorless and colorjless but highly toxic gas. In enclosed areas, exj
haust gases can also accumulate outside of
the vehicle. There is danger to life. Keep the
exhaust pipe free and ensure sufficient ventilaj tion.'

If a tire inflation pressure of 2 bar cannot be
reached, contact your dealerss service cenj ter or another qualified service center orrepair shop.
StowingtheMobilitySystem
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.
Distributingthesealant
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.
Correctingthetireinflationpressure
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.
Continuingthetrip
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.
Snowchains
Fine-linksnowchains
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
suitable tires, the snow chains can come into contact with vehicle parts. There is a risk of acj
cidents or risk of property damage. Only mount
snow chains on tires that are designated by
their manufacturer as suitable for the use of
snow chains.'

Page 226 of 275

cording to the snow chain manufacturer's inj
structions.
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.
Maximumspeedwithsnowchains
Do not exceed a speed of 30 mph/50 km/h when using snow chains.
Snowchaindetection
Concept
When using snow chains, settings should be made via iDrive for the snow chains being apj plied.
The snow chain detection system supports
you by automatically showing the detected
state on the Control Display.
When snow chains are in use, the rear axle
steering of the Integral Active Steering is deacj
tivated automatically.
At speeds above the maximum permitted
speed with snow chains of 30 mph/50 km/h,
the rear axle steering is activated again autoj
matically.

Changingwheels/tires Generalinformation
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.
Safetyinformation WARNING
On soft or slippery ground, e.g., snow,
ice, tiles, etc., the vehicle jack can slip away. There is a risk of injury. If possible, change the
