BMW M2 2018 Owners Manual

7.With the ignition switched on or the enginerunning, switch on the compressor.
Let the compressor run for max. 10 minutes to fill
the tire with sealant and achieve a tire inflation 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.
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 distribjute 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 center
or another qualified service center or repair shop.
Stowing
the
Mobility
System
1.Unscrew the filling hose of the sealant conjtainer from the tire valve.2.Pull the compressor connector out of the
socket inside the vehicle.3.Unscrew the connection hose of the comj pressor from the sealant container.4.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 escaping from the sealant container.5.Wrap and store the sealant container in suitaj
ble material to avoid dirtying the cargo area.6.Stow the Mobility System back in the cargo
area.
Distributing
the
sealant
Immediately drive approx. 5 miles/10 km to enj sure 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.
Correcting
the
tire
inflation
pressure
1.Stop at a suitable location.2.Screw the connection hose of the compresj
sor directly onto the tire valve stem.3.Insert the connector into the power socket inj
side the vehicle.4.Correct the tire inflation pressure to 2.5 bar.'xIncrease tire inflation pressure: with the igj nition switched on or the engine running,
switch on the compressor.'xReduce tire inflation pressure: press the
button on the compressor.
Continuing
the
trip
Do not exceed the maximum permissible speedof 50 mph/80 km/h.
Reinitialize the run-flat tires.
Reset the Tire Pressure Monitor TPM.
Replace the nonworking tire and the sealant conj
tainer of the Mobility System at the next opportuj
nity.

Snow
chains
Safety
information
WARNING
With the mounting of snow chains on unsuitaj ble tires, the snow chains can come into conj
tact with vehicle parts. There is a risk of accij
dents or risk of damage to property. Only
mount snow chains on tires that are designated
by their manufacturer as suitable for the use of
snow chains.
WARNING
Insufficiently tight snow chains may damage tires and vehicle components. There is a risk of
accidents or risk of damage to property. Make
sure that the snow chains are always suffij
ciently tight. Re-tighten as needed according to
the snow chain manufacturer's instructions.
Fine-link
snow
chains

Use
Use only in pairs on the rear wheels, equipped
with the tires of the following size:
'x235/40 R 18.
Follow the snow chain manufacturer's instrucj tions.
Do not initialize the run-flat tires after mounting
snow chains, as doing so may result in incorrect readings.
Do not reset the Tire Pressure Monitor TPM afjter mounting snow chains, as doing so may rej sult in incorrect readings.
When driving with snow chains, if needed, briefly
activate M Dynamic Mode.
Maximum
speed
with
snow
chains
Do not exceed a speed of 30 mph/50 km/h when

Changing
wheels/tires
General
information When a flat tire kit is used, an immediate wheelchange when there is a loss of tire inflation presj
sure in the event of a flat tire is not always necesj sary.
If needed, the tools for changing wheels are
available as accessories from a dealerss service

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 observed, there is a riskof the raised vehicle falling, if the vehicle jacktips over. There is a risk of injuries or danger tolife. If the vehicle is raised, do not lie under thevehicle and do not start the engine.
DANGER
Supports such as wooden blocks under the vej
hicle jack reduce the capacity of the vehicle
jack to bear weight. They have the potential to exert too much strain on the vehicle jack, causjing it to tip over and the vehicle to fall. There is
Seite 222MOBILITYWheels
and
tires222
Online Edition for Part no. 01402662591 - II/18

a risk of injuries or danger to life. Do not place
supports under the vehicle jack.
WARNING
The jack, issued by the vehicle manufacturer, is
provided in order to perform a wheel change in
the event of a breakdown. The jack is not dej
signed for frequent use; for example, changing
from summer to winter tires. Using the jack frej
quently may cause it to become jammed or
damaged. There is a risk of injury and risk of
damage to property. Only use the jack to attach an emergency or spare wheel in the event of a
breakdown.
WARNING
On soft, uneven or slippery ground, for example snow, ice, tiles, etc., the vehicle jack can slip
away. There is a risk of injury. If possible,
change the wheel on a flat, solid, and slip-rej
sistant surface.
WARNING
The vehicle jack is optimized for lifting the vehij
cle and for the jacking points on the vehicle
only. There is a risk of injury. Do not lift any
other vehicle or cargo using the vehicle jack.
WARNING
If the vehicle jack is not inserted into the jacking point provided for this purpose, the vehicle may
be damaged or the vehicle jack may slip when it is being cranked up. There is a risk of injury or
risk of damage to property. When cranking up
the vehicle jack, ensure that it is inserted in the
jacking point next to the wheel housing.
WARNING
A vehicle that is raised on a vehicle jack may fall off of the jack if lateral forces are exerted on it.
There is a risk of injury and risk of damage to
property. While the vehicle is raised, do not exj
ert lateral forces on the vehicle or pull abruptly
on the vehicle. Have a stuck wheel removed by
a dealerss service center or another qualified
service center or repair shop.
Securing
the
vehicle
against
rolling
General
information
The vehicle manufacturer recommends to addij
tionally secure the vehicle against rolling away
when changing a wheel.
On
a
level
surface
Place chocks or other suitable objects, for examj ple a rock, in front of and behind the wheel that is
diagonally opposite to the wheel that you wish to change.

hill grade, place chocks and other suitable obj
jects, for instance a rock, under the wheels of
both the front and rear axles against the rolling
direction.

The engine oil consumption can increase in the following situations, for example:
'xSporty driving style.'xBreak-in of the engine.'xIdling of the engine.'xWith use of engine oil types that are classified
as not suitable.
Different Check Control messages appear on the Control Display depending on the engine oil
level.
