Repairing flat tire with
M Mobility System
To repair a flat tire, an M Mobility System is pro-
vided in the BMW M6. Using this system you
can apply a sealant in the inside of the tire, seal
off the damaged area, restore the tire inflation
pressure and then continue driving.
Safety measures in case of a breakdown:
Park the vehicle as far as possible from
passing traffic and on solid ground. Switch on
the hazard warning flashers.
Apply the parking brake and shift into first gear
or reverse with the manual transmission, or
move the selector lever into a drive position with
the sequential transmission. Have all vehicle
occupants get out of the vehicle and ensure
that they remain outside the immediate area in a
safe place, such as behind a guardrail.
If a warning triangle
* or portable hazard warning
lamp
* is required, set it up on the roadside at an
appropriate distance from the rear of the vehi-
cle. Comply with all safety guidelines and regu-
lations.<
Preparation
The M Mobility System is located in the cargo
area under the floor panel flap.
Do not remove foreign bodies which have pen-
etrated the tire if possible.
Corresponding information on using the
M Mobility System is also provided on the
device.<
Before using the M Mobility System,
observe the information on the sealant
bottle.<
Pull the sticker for the speed limit off the sealant
bottle and apply it to the steering wheel.
Please observe the best-by date on the
sealant bottle.<
The M Mobility System consists of
1Sealant bottle and sticker with speed limit
2Filling hose from sealant bottle to wheel

Replacing components
210 mal wheel should be remounted as soon as
possible.<
Vehicle battery
Battery care
The battery is 100 % maintenance-free, i.e., the
electrolyte will last for the life of the battery
when the vehicle is operated in a temperate cli-
mate.
Your BMW center will be glad to advise in all
matters concerning the battery.
Charging battery
Only charge the battery in the vehicle via the
terminals in the engine compartment with the
engine switched off. Connections, refer to
Jump starting on page213.
Disposal
Have old batteries disposed of by your
BMW center or bring them a recycling
center. Maintain the battery in an upright posi-
tion for transport and storage. Always restrain
the battery to prevent it from tipping over during
transport.<
Power failure
Following a temporary power failure, e.g. due to
a discharged battery, the use of some equip-
ment will be restricted, requiring its reinitializa-
tion. In the same way, individual settings are lost
and must be updated again:
>Seat, mirror and steering wheel
* memory
The positions must be stored again, refer to
page45.
>Time and date
Must be updated again, refer to page69.
>Radio
Radio stations need to be stored again,
refer to page140.
>Navigation system
You must wait until the system becomes
functional again, refer to page116.>Power windows
The pinch prevention system for the power
windows must be reinitialized, refer to
page36.
Talk to your BMW center before placing
the stored vehicle back in service. <
Fuses
Never attempt to repair a blown fuse and
do not replace a defective fuse with a sub-
stitute of another color or amperage rating, as
this could lead to a circuit overload, ultimately
resulting in a fire in the vehicle.<
Spare fuses and a pair of plastic tweezers are
located in the compartment for the onboard tool
kit, refer to page203.
Information on fuse allocation is located below
the bracket for the onboard tool kit, see below.
In glove compartment
1.Press the button on the back in the center of
partition1 and pull out the partition upward,
arrow2.
2.Press the coupling downward, arrow3, and
fold the lid 4 forward.
