Replacing components

3.Insert connector 1 into the lighter socket in
the interior of the vehicle, page93.
4.Switch on the compressor using switch3.
5.Inflate the tire to at least 26 psi/180 kPa and
at most 36 psi/250 kPa.
To check the inflation pressure, switch off
the compressor briefly.
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 connection hose2 and drive the
vehicle forward and backward about 33 ft/
10 m to distribute the liquid sealant in the
tires evenly.
2.Repeat the procedure.
If an inflation pressure of 26 psi/180 kPa
still cannot be reached, the tire is too
heavily 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 connection hose2 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
displayed:
1.Switch on the compressor. Correct the tire
inflation pressure to the specified value,
page158.
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
result in an accident.<
Replace the defective tire as soon as pos-
sible and have the new wheel/tire assembly
balanced.
Have the Mobility System refilled.
Tire change set
When changing a tire, always observe the safety
measures and the procedure for changing tires
described below.
In case of a flat tire, the tire change set is
not needed due to the availability of the
Mobility System.<
