Using the Mobility Kit
To repair a tire puncture with the Mobility Kit, 
proceed as follows:
> Filling the tire with sealant.
> Distributing the sealant.
> Correct the tire inflation pressure.
Filling the tire with sealant
Proceed in the specifie d order; otherwise, 
sealant may emerge under high pres-
sure. <
1. Shake the sealant bottle.
2. Pull the connecting hose 6 completely out of 
the compressor housing and screw it onto 
the connector of the sealant bottle. Make 
sure that the hose is not kinked.
3. Insert the sealant bottle on the compressor 
housing in an upright position.
4. Unscrew the dust cap from the valve of the 
defective wheel and screw the filling hose 2 
of the sealant bottle onto the valve.
5. Ensure that the compre ssor is switched off.
6. Insert the plug 5 into the lighter socket/
power socket in the vehicle interior, 
page 101.
7. With the engine running: 
Switch on the compre ssor and let run for 
about 3 to 8 minutes in order to add the 
sealant and to achieve an inflation pressure 
of about 1.8 bar/26 psi. When adding sealant, the filling pres-
sure can temporarily increase up to 
about 5 bar/73 psi. Do  not switch off the 
compressor during this phase. <
Do not run the compressor for longer 
than 10 minutes; otherwise, the 
device will overheat and possibly be dam-
aged. <
8. Switch off the compressor.
If an inflation pressure  of 1.8 bar/26 psi is not 
reached:
1. Unscrew the filling hose 2 from the wheel 
and drive the vehicle forward and backward 
approx. 33 ft/10 m to distribute the liquid 
sealant in the tire evenly.
2. Inflate the tire again with the compressor.
If an inflation pressure of 1.8 bar/26 psi 
still cannot be reached, then the tire is too 
heavily damaged. Please contact the nearest 
MINI dealer. <
Stowing Mobility Kit
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 bot-
tle 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 Kit back in the vehicle.
Distributing 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.<

Correct the tire inflation pressure
1.After driving approx. 3.1 miles/5 km or 
ten minutes, stop at  a suitable location.
2. Screw the connection hose 6 of the com-
pressor directly onto the tire valve.
3. Insert the plug 5 into the power socket in 
the vehicle interior.
4. Adjust tire pressure to 1.8 bar/26 psi. With 
the engine running:
> To increase the inflatio n pressure: switch on 
the compressor. To ch eck the current infla-
tion pressure, switch  off the compressor.
Do not run the comp ressor for longer 
than 10 minutes; otherwise, the 
device will overheat and possibly be dam-
aged.<
> To decrease the inflation pressure: press the 
release button 9.
If the tire cannot m aintain the inflation 
pressure, drive the vehicle again, refer to 
Distributing the sealan t. Then repeat steps 
1to4.
If an inflation pressure of 1.8 bar/26 psi still can-
not be reached, then the tire is too heavily dam-
aged. Contact your ne arest MINI dealer.<
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 possible 
and have the new wheel/tire assembly bal-
anced.
Have the Mobility Kit refilled.
Changing wheels
The tire change set is available from as an 
optional accessory at your MINI dealer.
Preparing for a wheel change
Observe the safety precautions regarding 
flat tires on page 230.<
Additional safety measures when chang-
ing tires: 
Only change the tire wh en parked on a surface 
that is level, firm and not slippery.
The vehicle or the jack could slip sideways on 
soft or slippery support  surfaces, such as snow, 
ice, flagstones, etc. 
Do not use a wooden block  or similar object as a 
support base for the jack, as this would prevent 
it from extending to its  full support height and 
reduce its load-carrying capacity. 
Do not lie under the vehicle or start the engine 
when the vehicle is supported by the jack; other-
wise, there is a risk of fatal injury. <
1. Place the foldable chock
 behind the front 
wheel on the other side of the vehicle or in 
front of the wheel if the vehicle is on an 
incline. If the wheel is  changed on a surface 
with a more severe sl ope, take additional 
precautions to secure the vehicle from roll-
ing.
2. Uncover the lug bolts if necessary.
3. Loosen the lug bolts by a half turn.
Jacking up the vehicle
The vehicle jack is designed for changing 
wheels only. Do not attempt to raise 
another vehicle model with  it or to raise any load 
of any kind. To do so could cause accidents and 
personal injury. <
1. Place the jack at the jacking point closest to 
the wheel.
The jack base must be perpendicular to the 
surface beneath the jacking point.
