Note:If you intend to change the size of thewheels from that fitted at the factory, checkthe suitability with an authorized dealer.
TEMPORARY MOBILITY KIT
Your vehicle may not have a spare tire.Therefore you will have a temporarymobility kit which will only repair onedamaged tire.
The kit is located in the spare wheel well.
General Information
WARNINGS
Depending on the type and extent oftire damage, some tires can only bepartially sealed or not sealed at all.Loss of tire pressure can affect vehiclehandling, leading to loss of vehicle control.
Do not use the kit on a previouslydamaged tire, for example when ithas been driven under inflated.
WARNINGS
Do not use the kit on run flat tires.
Do not try to seal damage to thetire’s sidewall.
The kit seals most tire punctures [with adiameter of up to ¼ inch (six millimeters)]to temporarily restore mobility.
You must observe the following rules whenusing the kit:
•Drive with caution and avoid makingsudden steering or driving manoeuvres,especially if your vehicle is heavilyladen or you are towing a trailer.
•The kit will provide you with anemergency temporary repair, enablingyou to continue your journey to the nextvehicle or tire dealer, or to drive amaximum distance of 125 miles(200 kilometers).
•Do not exceed a maximum speed of50 mph (80 km/h).
•Keep the kit out of the reach ofchildren.
•Only use the kit when the ambienttemperature is between -40°F(–40°C) and +158°F (+70°C).
Using the Kit
WARNINGS
Compressed air can act as anexplosive or propellant.
Never leave the kit unattended whilein use.
Do not keep the compressoroperating for more than 10 minutes.

							•Park your vehicle at the roadside sothat you do not obstruct the flow oftraffic and so that you are able to usethe kit without being in danger.
•Apply the parking brake, even if youhave parked on a level road, to makesure that your vehicle will not move.
•Do not attempt to remove foreignobjects like nails or screws penetratingthe tire.
•Leave the engine running while the kitis in use, but not if your vehicle is in anenclosed or poorly ventilated area (e.g,inside a building). In thesecircumstances, switch the compressoron with the engine switched off.
•You must replace the sealant bottlewith a new one before the expiry date(see top of bottle).
•Inform all other users of your vehiclethat the tire has been temporarilysealed with the kit. Make them awareof the special driving conditions thatmust be observed.
Inflating the Tire
WARNINGS
Check the sidewall of the tire prior toinflation. If there are any cracks,bumps or similar damage, do notattempt to inflate the tire.
Do not stand directly beside the tirewhile the compressor is operating.
Watch the sidewall of the tire. If anycracks, bumps or similar damageappears, switch off the compressorand let the air out by means of the pressurerelief valve I. Do not continue driving withthis tire.
The sealant contains natural rubberlatex. Avoid contact with skin andclothing. If this happens, rinse theaffected areas immediately with plenty ofwater and contact a Physician.
WARNINGS
If the tire inflation pressure does notreach 26 psi (1.8 bar) within 10minutes, the tire may have sufferedexcessive damage, making a temporaryrepair impossible. Do not continue drivingwith this tire.

TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING
SYSTEM
WARNINGS
The system does not relieve you ofyour responsibility to regularly checkthe tire pressures.
The system will only provide a lowtire pressure warning. It will notinflate the tires.
WARNINGS
Do not drive on significantlyunder-inflated tires. This may causethe tires to overheat and fail.Under-inflation reduces fuel efficiency, tiretread life and may also affect your abilityto drive your vehicle safely.
Do not bend or damage the valveswhen you are inflating the tires.
Have tires installed by an authorizeddealer.
The deflation detection system will alertyou if there is a change of air pressure inany tire. It does this by using the anti-lockbraking sensors to detect the rollingcircumference of the wheels. When thecircumference changes, this indicates lowtire pressure. A warning message isdisplayed in the information display andthe message indicator will illuminate. SeeInformation Messages (page 71).
If a low pressure warning message isdisplayed in the information display, checkthe tire pressures as soon as possible andinflate them to the recommendedpressure. See Technical Specifications(page 192).
If this happens frequently, have the causedetermined and rectified as soon aspossible.
Apart from a too low tire pressure or adamaged tire, the following situations canaffect the rolling circumference:
•Vehicle load is uneven.
•When using a trailer or traveling up anddown an incline.
•Using snow chains.
•Driving on soft surfaces such as snowor mud.
Note:The system will still functioncorrectly, but there may be an increaseddetection time.
