2. Screw hose with manometer back onto otherwise an accident could happen.<

the tire valve

3. Check the tire inflation pressures.

unscrew the hose 1 and drive back and

forth about 33 ft / 10 m so that the liq-

uid sealant is distributed in the tire.

Afterwards repeat the procedure.

If an air pressure of 26 psi / 180 kPa is

still not reached, the tire is too badly

damaged. Please contact the nearest

MINI Dealer.<

Replace the defective tire as soon as

possible and have the new wheel/tire

assembly balanced. Have the MINI Mobility

System refilled.<

the vehicle.

When changing a tire, always observe the

safety measures and the procedure for

changing tires starting on page 125.

Turn on compressor 2. Correct the tire

inflation pressure to the specified value,

refer to the tire inflation pressure table

on page 98

The instructions for using the MINI

Mobility System are also given on the

equipment.<

In case of a flat tire the tire change

set is not needed due to the availabil-

ity of the MINI Mobility System.<

5. Replace the tire as soon as possible.
