FLAT TIRE Ð SAFETY (RUN-FLAT) TIRES
*
You will recognize safety tires by a circular
symbol containing the letters RSC on the
side of the tire.
Safety tires consist of self-contained tires
and special rims. The tire reinforcement
ensures that the tire retains some residual
safety in the event of pressure drop and
driving remains possible to a restricted
degree.
The reinforcement on the flanks of
the safety tires means that it is
usually not possible to detect an air loss
from outside.<
Flat tire The yellow indicator lamp in the instru-
ment cluster lights up to indicate a flat tire.
In addition, a gong sounds, see
pages 17, 62.
1. Reduce vehicle speed carefully to under
50 mph (80 km/h), avoiding hard brake
applications and steering maneuvers
2. Do not exceed a speed of 50 mph
(80 km/h)
3. Identify damaged tires; check tire infla-
tion pressures on all four wheels at the
next opportunity, see page 80
4. Correct the tire inflation pressure if you
wish to continue your journey and this is
permitted, see next column
5. Have damaged tires changed by your
MINI center, see page 84.
Your MINI center has the information
needed for working with safety tires
and is equipped with the necessary special
tools. They provide advice if you wish to
replace the tires on your MINI or wish to
re-equip from summer to winter tires Ð or
vice versa, see also pages 80, 84, 85.<
For safety reasons, do not have a
damaged safety tire repaired.<
Continuing driving with a damaged
tireDriving can continue under certain condi-
tions with safety tires, depending on the
vehicle load and the severity of the tire
damage, at a maximum speed of 50 mph
(80 km/h).
You can determine the possible mileage for
continued driving on the basis of the
following general indications:
>Tire inflation pressure 0 bar (0 psi):
approx. 95 miles (150 km)
>Tire inflation pressure 0.5 bar Ð 1 bar
(7.2 psi Ð 14.5 psi): approx. 300 miles
(500 km)
>Tire inflation pressure greater than 1 bar
(14.5 psi): approx. 600 miles (1,000 km).
