4 Holder for the sealant bottle
5 Compressor
6 Pressure gauge for indicating the tire infla-
tion pressure

Connector, cable and connection hose are
stored in the compressor housing.
Using the Mobility System
To repair a tire puncture with the Mobility Sys-
tem, proceed as follows:
> Fill the tire with sealant
> Distribute the sealant
> Correct the tire inflation pressure
Filling the tire with sealant
Proceed in the specified order; otherwise,
sealant may emerge under high
pressure.<
1. Shake the sealant bottle.
2. Pull the connection hose 9 out of the com-
pressor housing fully 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 compressor is switched off.
6. Insert the plug 3 into the lighter socket/
power socket in the vehicle interior,
page 98.
7. With the engine running:
Switch on the compressor and let is run for
approx. 3 to 8 minutes to fill the tire with
sealant and achieve a tire inflation pressure
of approx. 26 psi/180 kPa.
When the tire is being filled with seal-
ant, the inflation pressure may spo-
radically reach approx. 73 psi/500 kPa. Do
not switch off the compressor in this
phase.<
Do not run the compressor for longer
than 10 minutes; otherwise, the
device will overheat and possibly be
damaged.<
8. Switch off the compressor.
If an air pressure of 26 psi/180 kPa 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 26 psi/180 kPa
still cannot be reached, the tire is too
heavily damaged. Please contact the nearest
MINI dealer.<
Detach the connection hose 9 and filling hose 2
from the sealant bottle connection and tire
valve.
