Changing wheels
Hints
The vehicle equipment does not include a
spare tire.
When using run-flat tires or tire sealants, a tire
does not need to be changed immediately in
the event of pressure loss due to a flat tire.
The tools for changing wheels are available as
accessories from your service center.
Jacking points for the vehicle jack
The jacking points for the vehicle jack are lo‐
cated at the positions shown.
Compact wheel
Hints Safety measures in case of a breakdown
or a wheel change
▷Park the vehicle as far away as possible
from passing traffic and on solid ground.
Switch on the hazard warning system.▷Set the parking brake, and engage first gear
or transmission position P.▷Have all vehicle occupants get out of the
vehicle and ensure that they remain out‐
side the immediate area in a safe place,
such as behind a guardrail.▷If necessary, set up a warning triangle or
portable hazard warning lamp at an appro‐
priate distance. Comply with all safety
guidelines and regulations.▷Perform wheel change only on a flat, solid
and slip-resistant surface. On soft or slip‐
pery ground, e.g., snow, ice, tiles, etc., the
vehicle or vehicle jack can slip away to the
side.▷Do not place wood blocks or similar items
under the vehicle jack; otherwise, it cannot
reach its carrying capacity because of the
restricted height.▷If the vehicle is raised, do not lie under the
vehicle and do not start the engine; other‐
wise, a mortal hazard exists. ◀Seite 196MOBILITYReplacing components196

Wheel mounting1.Unscrew the wheel lug bolts and remove
the wheel.2.Put the new wheel or compact wheel on
and screw in at least two bolts.
If original MINI light alloy wheels are not
mounted, any accompanying lug bolts also
have to be used.3.Screw in the remaining the 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.
Check for secure seating of the lug
bolts
For safety reasons, have the secure seating
of the lug bolts checked with a calibrated
torque wrench; otherwise, a safety hazard
results from incorrectly tightened lug
bolts. ◀2.Stow the defective wheel in the cargo area.
The defective wheel cannot be stored in the
compact 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 98.
Reinitialize the Tire Pressure Monitor, refer
to page 95.5.Replace the damaged tires as soon as pos‐
sible.
Driving with the compact wheel
Watch the speed when driving with the
compact wheel
Drive conservatively and do not exceed a speed
of 50 mph/80 km/h; otherwise, changed driving
characteristics such as reduced lane stability
while braking, extended braking distance and
changed self-steering properties in the limit
area. ◀
Mounting only one compact wheel
Only a single compact wheel may be
mounted. Reinstall wheels and tires of the orig‐
inal size as quickly as possible; otherwise, there
is a safety risk. ◀
Lug bolt lock
The adapter of the lug bolt lock is located in the
onboard vehicle tool kit, refer to page 188.▷Lug bolt, arrow 1.▷Adapter, arrow 2.
Removing
