Reinflating the tire
1.
Screw hose 1 with manometer onto the tire
valve.
2.
Insert connector 3 into the lighter socket in
the interior of the vehicle, page
.
3.
Switch on compressor 2.
4.
Inflate the tire to at least 26 psi/180 kPa and
at most 36 psi/250 kPa.
To check the air pressure, shut off the device
for a short time.
Do not run the compressor for longer
than 6 minutes, otherwise the device
will overheat and possibly be damaged.
<
If an air pressure of 26 psi/180 kPa is not
reached:
1.
Unscrew hose 1 and drive the vehicle for-
ward and backward about 33 ft/10 m to dis-
tribute the liquid sealant in the tires evenly.
2.
Repeat the procedure.
If an air pressure of 26 psi/180 kPa still
cannot be reached, the tire is too severely
damaged. Please contact the nearest MINI
Dealer.

Distributing liquid sealant
Immediately drive for approx. 10 minutes, so
that the liquid sealant is uniformly distributed.
Do not exceed speeds of 40 mph/
60 km/h.
If possible, do not drop below 10 mph/
20 km/h.

Checking tire inflation pressure
1.
After driving for approx. 10 minutes, pull
over at a suitable location.
2.
Screw the hose with manometer back onto
the tire valve.
3.
Check the tire inflation pressure.
The tire pressure must be at least
18 psi/130 kPa. If it is not, do not con-
tinue driving.
<
If a tire pressure of at least 18 psi/130 kPa is dis-
played:
1.
Switch on the compressor. Correct the tire
inflation pressure to the specified value,
page
2.
Replace the tire as soon as possible.
Driving on
Do not exceed the permitted maximum
speed of 50 mph/80 km/h; doing so may
