BMW I3 2017 Owners Manual

If possible, drive around obstacles, or driveover them slowly and carefully.'

Maximum
speed
of
winter
tiresIf the maximum speed of the vehicle is higher
than the permissible speed for the winter tires, then attach a corresponding information label/
sticker in the field of view. The label is available from a dealerss service center or another qualij
fied service center or repair shop.
With mounted winter tires, observe and adhere
to the permissible maximum speed.
Rotating
wheels
between
axles Different wear patterns can occur on the frontand rear axles depending on individual driving
conditions. The tires can be rotated between
the axles to achieve even wear. Further inforj
mation is available from a dealerss service cenj
ter or another qualified service center 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.
Storage
Store wheels and tires in a cool, dry and dark place.
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.

from passing traffic and on solid ground.'ySwitch on the hazard warning system.'ySecure the vehicle against rolling away by setting the parking brake.'yHave all vehicle occupants get out of thevehicle and ensure that they remain outjside the immediate area in a safe place,

distance.'yChange wheels only on a flat, solid and slip-resistant surface. On soft or slippery
ground, for example snow, ice, tiles, etc.,
the vehicle or the vehicle jack may slip
away sideways.'yDo not place wood blocks or similar items under the vehicle jack; otherwise, it cannot
reach its carrying capacity because of the
restricted height.'yIf the vehicle is raised, do not lie under the vehicle and do not start the engine, or else
there is a danger to life.
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.
The compressor can be used to check the tire inflation pressure.
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.Seite 192MobilityWheels

'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 and replaced at the
next opportunity.

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.'

2.Pull filling hose completely out of the cover
of the sealant container. Do not kink the
hose.3.Slide the sealant container into the holder
on the compressor housing, ensuring that
it engages audibly.4.Screw the filling hose of the sealant conj 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 standby state or drive-ready state switched on, 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.

pressure
Checking
1.Switch off the compressor.2.Read the tire inflation pressure on the tire pressure gage.
To continue the trip, a tire inflation pressure of
at least 2 bar must be reached.

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
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.'

If needed, the tools for changing wheels areavailable as accessories from a dealerss service
center or another qualified service center or rej pair shop.
Safety
information WARNING
The vehicle jack is provided by the vehij
cle manufacturer for changing wheels in the event of a flat tire. The vehicle jack is not dej
signed for frequent use, for instance for changj ing from summer to winter tires. Using the vejhicle jack frequently may cause it to jam orbecome damaged. There is a risk of injury and
risk of damage to property. Only use the vehij cle jack to change an emergency wheel or aspare tire in the event of a flat tire.'
