5.
Ensure that the compressor is switched off.
6.
Insert the plug 3 into the lighter socket/
power socket in the vehicle interior,
page
.
7.
With the engine running:
Switch on the compressor and let is run for
approx. 3 to 8 minutes to fill the tire with
sealant and achieve a tire inflation pressure
of approx. 26 psi/180 kPa.
When filling the tire with sealant, the
inflation pressure can briefly rise to
approx. 73 psi/500 kPa. Do not switch off
the compressor during this phase.
<
Do not run the compressor for longer
than 10 minutes; otherwise, the
device will overheat and possibly be dam-
aged.
<
8.
Switch off the compressor.
If an air pressure of 26 psi/180 kPa is not
reached:
1.
Unscrew the filling hose 2 from the wheel
and drive the vehicle forward and backward
approx. 33 ft/10 m to distribute the liquid
sealant in the tire evenly.
2.
Inflate the tire again with the compressor.
If an inflation pressure of 26 psi/180 kPa
still cannot be reached, the tire is too
heavily damaged. Please contact the nearest
MINI dealer.

Stowing Mobility System
1.
Unscrew filler hose 2 of the sealant bottle
from the wheel.
2.
Unscrew connecting hose of the
compressor 9 from the sealant bottle.
3.
Connect the filler hose 2 of the sealant bot-
tle to the unoccupied connection on the
sealant bottle.
This prevents the rest of the sealant from
escaping from the bottle.
4.
Wrap the empty sealant bottle in suitable
material to avoid dirtying the cargo area.
5.
Stow Mobility System back in the vehicle.
Distributing the sealant
Immediately drive approx. 3 mls/5 km to evenly
distribute the sealant.
Do not exceed speeds of 50 mph/
80 km/h.
If possible, do not drop below 10 mph/
20 km/h.
<
Correct the tire inflation pressure
1.
After driving approx. 3 mls/5 km or ten min-
utes, stop at a suitable location.
2.
Screw the connection hose 2 of the com-
pressor directly onto the tire valve.
3.
Insert the plug 3 into the power socket in the
vehicle interior.
4.
Correct inflation pressure to 26 psi/180 kPa.
With the engine running:
>
To increase the inflation pressure: switch on
the compressor. To check the current infla-
tion pressure, switch off the compressor.
Do not run the compressor for longer
than 10 minutes; otherwise, the
device will overheat and possibly be dam-
aged.
<
>
To decrease the inflation pressure: press the
release button 5.
If the tire cannot maintain the inflation
pressure, drive the vehicle again, refer to
Distributing the sealant. Then repeat steps
1 to 4.
If an inflation pressure of 26 psi/180 kPa still
cannot be reached, the tire is too heavily dam-
aged. Contact the nearest MINI dealer.
<
Driving on
Do not exceed the permitted maximum
speed of 50 mph/80 km/h; doing so may
result in an accident.
<
Replace the defective tire as soon as possible
and have the new wheel/tire assembly bal-
anced.
Have the Mobility System refilled.
