2016 MINI COOPER CONVERTIBLE inflation pressure

5.With the compressor switched off, insert
the plug into the power socket inside the
vehicle.6.With operating readiness switched on or
the engine running, switch on the compres‐
sor.
Let the compressor run for max. 10 minutes to
fill the tire with sealant and achieve a tire infla‐
tion pressure of approx. 2.5 bar.
While the tire is being filled with sealant, the
tire inflation pressure may sporadically reach
approx. 5 bar. Do not switch off the compressor
at this point.
ATTENTION
The compressor can overheat during ex‐
tended operation. There is a risk of damage to
property. Do not run the compressor for more
than 10 min. ◀
If a tire inflation pressure of 2 bar is not
reached:
1.Switch off the compressor.2.Unscrew the filling hose from the wheel.3.Drive forward and back to distribute the
sealant in the tire.4.Inflate the tire again using the compressor.
If a tire inflation pressure of 2 bar cannot be
reached, contact your dealer’s service cen‐
ter or another qualified service center or re‐
pair shop.
Stowing the Mobility System
1.Remove the connection hose of the sealant
container from the wheel.2.After pressing the red unlock button on the
compressor, remove the sealing container.3.Wrap the empty sealant container in suita‐
ble material to avoid dirtying the trunk.4.Stow the Mobility System back in the vehi‐
cle.
Distributing the sealant
Immediately drive approx. 5 miles/10 km to en‐
sure that the sealant is evenly distributed in the
tire.
Do not exceed a speed of 50 mph/80 km/h.
If possible, do not drive at speeds less than
12 mph/20 km/h.
To correct the tire inflation pressure
1.Stop at a suitable location.2.Screw the connection hose of the compres‐
sor directly onto the tire valve stem.Seite 196MOBILITYWheels and tires196

3.Insert the connector into a power socket in‐
side the vehicle.4.Correct the tire inflation pressure to at least
2.0 bar.▷Increase pressure: with the ignition
turned on or the engine running, switch
on the compressor.▷To reduce the pressure: press the but‐
ton on the compressor.
Continuing the trip
Do not exceed the maximum permissible speed
of 50 mph/80 km/h.
Reinitialize the Flat Tire Monitor, refer to
page 113.
Reinitialize the Tire Pressure Monitor, refer to
page 109.
Replace the nonworking tire and the sealant
container of the Mobility System as soon as
possible.
Snow chains Fine-link snow chains
The manufacturer of your vehicle recommends use of fine-link snow chains. Certain types of
fine-link snow chains have been tested by the
manufacturer of the vehicle and recommended
as road-safe and suitable.
Information regarding suitable snow chains is
available from a dealer’s service center or an‐ other qualified service center or repair shop.
Use
WARNING
With the mounting of snow chains on un‐
suitable tires, the snow chains can come into
contact with vehicle parts. There is a risk of ac‐
cidents or a risk of property damage. Only
mount snow chains on tires that are designated
by their manufacturer as suitable for the use of
snow chains. ◀
Use only in pairs on the front wheels, equipped
with the tires of the following size:▷175/65 R 15.▷175/60 R 16.
John Cooper Works:
▷185/50 R 17.
Follow the snow chain manufacturer's instruc‐
tions.
Make sure that the snow chains are always suf‐
ficiently tight. Re-tighten as needed according
to the snow chain manufacturer's instructions.
Do not initialize the Flat Tire Monitor after
mounting snow chains, as doing so may result
in incorrect readings.
Do not initialize the Tire Pressure Monitor after
mounting snow chains, as doing so may result
in incorrect readings.
When driving with snow chains, briefly activate
Dynamic Traction Control if needed.
Maximum speed with snow chains
Do not exceed a speed of 30 mph/50 km/h
when using snow chains.

Jacking up the vehicle1.Place the vehicle jack at the jacking point
closest to the wheel such that the vehicle
jack foot is vertically beneath the vehicle
jacking point with the entire surface on the
ground.2.Insert the vehicle jack head in the rectan‐
gular recess of the jacking point for crank‐
ing it up.3.Crank it up until the wheel in question lifts
off of the ground.
Wheel mounting
Mount one emergency wheel only.
1.Unscrew the wheel lug bolts and remove
the wheel.2.Put the new wheel or emergency wheel on
and screw in at least two bolts.
If non-original MINI light-alloy wheels are
mounted, the accompanying lug bolts may
have to be used as well.3.Screw in the remaining lug bolts and
tighten all bolts well in a crosswise pattern.4.Lower the vehicle and remove the vehicle
jack.
After the wheel change
1.Tighten the lug bolts crosswise. The tight‐
ening torque is 101 lb ft/140 Nm.2.Stow the nonworking wheel in the cargo
area.The nonworking wheel cannot be stored in
the emergency wheel bracket because of
its size.3.Check tire inflation pressure at the next op‐
portunity and correct as needed.4.Reinitialize the Flat Tire Monitor, refer to
page 113.
Reinitialize the Tire Pressure Monitor, refer
to page 110.5.Check to make sure the lug bolts are tight
with a calibrated torque wrench.
Driving with emergency wheel
WARNING
The emergency wheel has particular di‐
mensions. When driving with an emergency wheel, changed driving properties may occur at
higher speeds, e.g., reduced lane stability when
braking, longer braking distance and changed
self-steering properties in the limit area. There
is risk of an accident. Drive moderately and do
not exceed a speed of 50 mph/80 km/h. ◀
After the trip with emergency wheel
Have the following work performed only by a
dealer's service center or another qualified
service center or repair shop.
1.Replace the damaged tires as soon as pos‐
sible.2.Replace the emergency wheel with a new
wheel.3.Have the tray with the emergency wheel
installed.
Vehicle battery
Maintenance
The battery is maintenance-free.
The added amount of acid is sufficient for the
service life of the battery.
