Safety
informationWARNING
Damaged tires can lose tire inflation
pressure, which can lead to loss of vehicle control. There is a risk of an accident. If tiredamage is suspected while driving, immedijately reduce speed and stop. Have wheels andtires checked. For this purpose, drive carefully
to the nearest dealerss service center or anj
other qualified service center or repair shop.
Have vehicle towed or transported as
needed.'

New
tires
Tire traction is not optimal due to manufacturj
ing circumstances when tires are brand-new;
they achieve their full traction potential after a
break-in time.
Drive conservatively for the first
200 miles/300 km.
Retreaded
tires
The manufacturer of your vehicle does not recj
ommend the use of retreaded tires.
WARNING
Retreaded tires can have different tire
casing structures. With advanced age the servj
ice life can be limited. There is a risk of an accij
dent. The manufacturer of your vehicle does not recommend the use of retreaded tires.'

travel. To accomplish this, sealant is pumped
into the tires, which seals the damage from the inside.
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. Only remove
foreign objects if they are visibly protruding from 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 theTPM wheel electronics replaced at thenext opportunity.'yThe compressor can be used to check the

Filling
the
tire
with
sealant
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.'

6.With the compressor switched off, insert
the plug into the power socket inside the
vehicle.7.With the ignition switched on or the engine running, 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.
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 disjtribute 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 cenjter or another qualified service center or repair shop.
Stowing
the
Mobility
System
1.Unscrew the filling hose of the sealant conj
tainer from the tire valve.2.Pull the compressor connector out of the socket inside the vehicle.3.Unscrew the connection hose of the comjpressor 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 insuitable 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 enjsure 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 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 tire inflation pressure: with the
ignition switched on or the engine runj
ning, switch on the compressor.Seite 215Wheels

'yReduce tire inflation pressure: press
the button on the compressor.
Continuing
the
trip
Do not exceed the maximum permissible
speed of 50 mph/80 km/h.
Reinitialize the run-flat tires.
Reset the Tire Pressure Monitor TPM.
Replace the nonworking tire and the sealant
container of the Mobility System at the next
opportunity.
Snow
chains Fine-link
snow
chains
The manufacturer of your vehicle recommends use of fine-link snow chains. Certain types offine-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 anjother qualified service center or repair shop.
Use Use only in pairs on the rear wheels, equippedwith the tires of the following size:
'y285/40 R 20.
Follow the snow chain manufacturer's instrucjtions.
Do not initialize the run-flat tires after mountj
ing snow chains, as doing so may result in inj
correct readings.
Do not reset the Tire Pressure Monitor TPM after mounting snow chains, as doing so mayresult 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 using snow chains.
Changing
wheels/tires
General
information
When a flat tire kit is used, an immediate wheel change when there is a loss of tire inflationpressure in the event of a flat tire is not always
necessary.
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.
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 objserved, there is a risk of the raised vehicle falljing, if the vehicle jack tilts over. There is a riskof injuries or danger to life. If the vehicle is
raised, do not lie under the vehicle and do not
start the engine.'

WARNING
The vehicle jack is optimized for lifting
the vehicle 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.'

Emergency
wheel
Concept
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 until the defective
tire/wheel has been replaced.
Safety
information WARNING
The emergency wheel has particular dij
mensions. When driving with an emergency wheel, changed driving properties may occur,
for instance reduced lane stability when brakj
ing, longer braking distance, and changed self-
steering properties in the limit area. There is a
risk of an accident. Drive moderately and do
not exceed a speed of 50 mph/80 km/h.'
