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
bottle 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.
Distribute the sealant.
Immediately drive approx. 3.1 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.<

1. After driving approx. 3.1 miles/5 km or
10 minutes, stop at a suitable location.

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
damaged.<
>
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
damaged. Contact your nearest MINI
