about 5bar/73psi. 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 inflation pressure of 1.8 bar/26 psi 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 1.8 bar/26 psi

still cannot be reached, then the tire is too

heavily damaged. Please contact the nearest

MINI dealer.<

Stowing Mobility Kit

1. Unscrew filler hose 2 of the sealant bottle

from the wheel.

2. Unscrew connecting hose of the

compressor 6 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 Kit back in the vehicle.

Distributing the sealant.

Immediately drive approx. 3 miles/5 km so that

the sealant evenly distributes itself.

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 miles/5 km or ten

minutes, stop at a suitable location.

2. Screw the connection hose 6 of the com-

pressor directly onto the tire valve.

3. Insert the plug 5 into the power socket in

the vehicle interior.

4. Adjust tire pressure to 1.8 bar/26 psi. 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 9.

If the tire cannot maintain the inflation

pressure, drive the vehicle again, refer to

Distributing the sealant. Then repeat steps

1to4.

If an inflation pressure of 1.8 bar/26 psi still can-

not be reached, then the tire is too heavily dam-

aged. Contact your 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 Kit refilled.
