Repairing a flat tire

Precautions in case of a flat tire:

Stop the vehicle as far as possible

from passing traffic; switch on the haz-

ard warning flashers.

Turn the steering wheel to the straight-

ahead position and engage the steering

lock. Shift into 1st or Reverse and

engage the parking brake.

All passengers should be outside the

vehicle and well away from your imme-

diate working area – behind a guardrail,

for instance.

If necessary, set up your warning trian-

gle or portable hazard warning lamp on

the roadside at an appropriate distance

from the rear of the vehicle. Comply

with all local safety guidelines and reg-

ulations.

M Mobility system

You will find an M Mobility system in the

BMW M3 for repairing flat tires. With

this system you can apply a sealing liq-

uid to the inside of the tire that seals off

the damaged point and then continue

driving.

The M Mobility system makes trans-

porting a spare wheel superfluous,

thereby reducing the amount of weight

you have to carry around.
