General'yPlease observe the notes on the applicajtion of the Mobility system which are on
the compressor and the sealant container.'yApplying the Mobility system can be inefj
fective for tyre damage as from a size of approximately 4 mm.'yContact a Service partner of the manufacjturer or another qualified Service Partner or
a specialist workshop if you are unable to
put the tyre back in operation.'yIf possible, foreign matter that has penetraj ted the tyre should remain inside the tyre.'yRemove the speed limit sticker from thesealant container and attach to the steerj

3.Bolt the connecting hose onto the connecjtor of the sealant container.4.Insert the upright sealant container into thecompressor housing.5.Screw the filler hose of the sealant conjtainer onto the tyre valve of the faulty
wheel.6.Insert the plug into the socket on the inside
of the vehicle while the compressor is switched off.7.Switch on the compressor with the ignition
switched on or the engine running.
DANGER
A blocked exhaust pipe or inadequate
ventilation can allow harmful exhaust fumes to penetrate the vehicle. The exhaust fumes conj
tain pollutants which are colourless and odourj less. In enclosed spaces, the exhaust fumescan also build up outside the vehicle. Danger of
fatal injury. Keep the exhaust pipe clear and ensure sufficient ventilation.'

The tyre inflation pressure may rise to approxij
mately 5 bar during the filling process of the
sealing compound. Do not switch off the comj pressor during this step.
If it does not reach a tyre inflation pressure of
2 bar:1.Switch off compressor.2.Remove the filler hose from the wheel.3.Drive forwards and backwards by 10 m, apj
proximately 400 inches to distribute the sealant in the tyre.4.Re-inflate the tyre with the compressor.
Contact a Service partner of the manufacjturer or another qualified Service Partner or
a specialist workshop if the device does not reach a tyre inflation pressure of 2 bar.
Storing
Mobility
system
1.Remove the filler hose of the sealant conj
tainer from the wheel.2.Remove the connecting hose of the comj pressor from the sealant container.3.Take the filler hose of the sealant containerthat was previously connected to the tyre
valve and connect it to the free connection on the sealant container.
This can prevent sealant residues from esj
caping from the container.4.Pack empty sealant container to avoid soilj
ing in the boot.5.Store Mobility system in the vehicle again.
Spreading
sealant
compound
Immediately drive for approximately 10 km/5 miles to evenly distribute the sealing
compound in the tyre.
Do not exceed a speed of 80 km/h/50 mph. If possible, do not drive slower than
20 km/h/12 mph.
Correcting
the
tyre
inflation
pressure1.Stop in a suitable area.2.Bolt the connecting hose of the compresj
sor directly onto the tyre valve.3.Insert the plug into the socket on the inside
of the vehicle.4.Correct tyre inflation pressure to 2.5 bar.'yIncrease pressure: switch on the comj
pressor with the engine running or the ignition switched on.'yReduce pressure: press the button onthe compressor.
Continuing
with
journey
Do not exceed maximum permitted speed of
80 km/h, approximately 50 mph.
Reinitialise runflat indicator.
Reinitialise Tyre Pressure Monitor. Have the punctured tyre and the sealant conj
tainer of the Mobility System replaced as soon
as possible.
