IF YOU HAVE A FLAT TIRE (WITH INSTANTMOBILITYSYSTEM, IF EQUIPPED)
Please read the instructions before
using the InstantMibilitySystem.
(1) Compressor
(2) Sealant bottle
Introduction
With the InstantMobilitySystem(IMS)
you stay mobile even after experi-
encing a tire puncture.
The system of compressor and seal-
ing compound effectively and com-
fortably seals most punctures in a
passenger car tire caused by nails
or similar objects and reinflates the
tire.
After you ensured that the tire is
properly sealed you can drive cau-
tiously on the tire (up to 200 km (120
miles)) at a max. speed of 80 km/h
(50 mph) in order to reach a vehicle
or tire dealer to have the tire
replaced.
It is possible that some tires, espe-
cially with larger punctures or dam-
age to the sidewall, cannot be sealed
completely.
Air pressure loss in the tire may
adversely affect tire performance.
For this reason, you should avoid
abrupt steering or other driving
maneuvers, especially if the vehicle is
heavily loaded or if a trailer is in use.
The IMS is not designed or intended
as a permanent tire repair method
and is to be used for one tire only.
This instruction shows you step by
step how to temporarily seal the
puncture simply and reliably.
Read the section "Notes on the safe
use of the IMS".

WARNING
Do not use the IMS if a tire is
severely damaged by driving run
flat or with insufficient air pres-
sure.
Only punctured areas located
within the tread region of the tire
can be sealed using the IMS.
Damage to the sidewall must not
be repaired due to safety reasons.
