Stowing Mobility System
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 System back in the vehicle.
Distributing the sealant
Immediately drive approx. 3.1 miles/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 for approx. 3.1 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.
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 9.
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
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.
Changing wheels
The pouch with the wheel changing kit
stored under the flat load floor. It includes:
>
Vehicle jack
>
Reversible ratchet
>
Wheel stud wrench

>
Chock
Preparing for a wheel change
Observe the safety precautions regarding
flat tires on page
Additional safety measures when chang-
ing tires:
Only change the tire when parked on a surface
that is level, firm and not slippery.
The vehicle or the jack could slip sideways on
soft or slippery support surfaces, such as snow,
ice, flagstones, etc.
Do not use a wooden block or similar object as a
support base for the jack, as this would prevent
it from extending to its full support height and
reduce its load-carrying capacity.
Do not lie under the vehicle or start the engine
when the vehicle is supported by the jack; other-
wise, there is a risk of fatal

Place the foldable chock
wheel on the other side of the vehicle or in
front of the wheel if the vehicle is on an
incline. If the wheel is changed on a surface
with a more severe slope, take additional
