Generalinformation'yFollow the instructions on using the Mobijlity 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.'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.

Safetyinformation 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.'

Filling1.Shake the sealant container.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 the ignition turned on or the engine
running, switch on the compressor.
Let the compressor run for max. 10 minutes to fill 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.

Checking1.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.

1.Unscrew the filling hose of the sealant conj
tainer from the wheel.2.Press the red release button.3.Remove the sealant container from the
compressor.4.Wrap the empty sealant container in suitaj ble material to avoid dirtying the cargoarea.

1.Pull the connector out of the power socket inside the vehicle.2.Drive 33 ft/10 m forward and back to disjtribute the sealant in the tire.3.Screw the connection hose of the comjpressor directly onto the tire valve stem.4.Insert the connector into the power socket
inside the vehicle.5.With the ignition turned on or the engine
running, switch on the compressor.
If a tire inflation pressure of at least 2 bar
cannot be reached, contact your dealerss service center or another qualified service
center or repair shop.
If a tire inflation pressure of at least 2 bar is
reached, see Minimum tire inflation presj
sure is reached.6.Unscrew the connection hose of the comj pressor from the tire valve.7.Pull the connector out of the power socketinside the vehicle.8.Stow the Mobility System in the vehicle.
Minimumtireinflationpressureis
reached
1.Stow the Mobility System in the vehicle.2.Immediately drive approx. 5 miles/10 km to ensure that the sealant is evenly distribj
uted in the tire.
Do not exceed a speed of 50 mph/80 km/h. If possible, do not drive at speeds less than

Adjustment1.Stop at a suitable location.2.Screw the connection hose of the comjpressor directly onto the tire valve stem.3.Insert the connector into the power socket
inside the vehicle.4.Correct the tire inflation pressure to at least 2.0 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.5.Unscrew the connection hose of the comjpressor from the tire valve.6.Pull the connector out of the power socketinside the vehicle.7.Stow the Mobility System in the vehicle.
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 promptly.
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.'

MaximumspeedwithsnowchainsDo not exceed a speed of 30 mph/50 km/hwhen using snow chains.
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 flattire.
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
The jack, issued by the vehicle manufacj
turer, is provided in order to perform a wheel
change in the event of a breakdown. The jack
is not designed for frequent use; for example,
changing from summer to winter tires.. Using
the jack frequently 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.'

Onalevelsurface
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.
Onaslightdownhillgradient
If you need to change a wheel on a slight downhill gradient, place chocks and other suitjable objects, for example a rock, under thewheels of both the front and rear axles against
the rolling direction.
Preparingthevehicle
'yChange the wheel as far away as possible
from passing traffic.'yPark the vehicle on solid, non-slip and level ground.'ySwitch on the hazard warning system.'ySet the parking brake.'yEngage a gear or selector lever position P.'yAs soon as permitted by the traffic flow,have 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.'yDepending on the equipment version, get tools and the emergency wheel from the
vehicle.'yIf necessary, set up a warning triangle or
portable hazard warning lamp at an approj priate distance.'yDo not place wood blocks or similar itemsunder the vehicle jack; otherwise, it cannot
reach its carrying capacity because of the
restricted height.'ySecure the vehicle additionally against rollj
ing.'yLoosen the lug bolts a half turn.
Jackingpointsforthevehiclejack
The jacking points for the vehicle jack are loj cated at the indicated positions.

4.Turn the crank on the vehicle jack counterj
clockwise to retract the jack and lower the vehicle.5.Remove the vehicle jack.
Afterthewheelchange
1.Tighten the lug bolts crosswise. The tightjening torque is 101 lb ft/140 Nm.2.Stow the nonworking wheel in the cargo
area.
The nonworking wheel cannot be stored under the cargo floor panel because of its
size.3.Check tire inflation pressure at the next opj
portunity and correct as needed.4.Reinitialize the Flat Tire Monitor.
Reset the Tire Pressure Monitor.5.Check to make sure the lug bolts are tight
with a calibrated torque wrench.6.Drive to the nearest dealerss service center
or another qualified service center or repair
shop to have the damaged tire replaced.
emergencywheel
Generalinformation In the event of a flat tire, the emergency wheel
can be used in place of the wheel with the dej
fective tire. The emergency wheel is only inj tended for temporary use to allow you to getthe defective tire/wheel replaced.
Safetyinformation WARNING
The emergency wheel has particular dij
mensions. When driving with an emergency
wheel, changed driving properties may occur
at higher speeds, e.g., reduced lane stability
when braking, longer braking distance and changed self-steering properties in the limit
area. There is a risk of an accident. Drive modj
erately and do not exceed a speed of
50 mph/80 km/h.'
