Run-flat tires
Label
The symbol identifying run-flat tires is a circle
with the letters RSC on the sidewall.
Run-flat tires are tires with special rims that
support themselves for a limited period of time.
The sidewall reinforcement ensures that the
tire can continue to be used to a limited extent
if it has lost pressure and even if it has become
completely depressurized.
For continued driving in the event of a flat tire,
refer to page 82.
Correcting a flat tire
Safety measures in case of a breakdown
▷ Park the vehicle as far as possible
from passing traffic and on solid
ground. Switch on the hazard warn‐
ing system.
▷ Let the steering wheel lock engage with the
wheels in the straight-ahead position, set
the handbrake, and engage first gear or re‐
verse, or engage selector lever 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 a warning triangle or portable hazard
warning lamp is required, set it up on the
roadside at an appropriate distance from
the rear of the vehicle. Comply with all
safety guidelines and regulations.◀
The procedure to correct a flat tire depends on
the equipment in the vehicle:
▷ Run-flat tires, refer to page 219.
▷ MINI Mobility System, refer to page 219.
▷ Wheel change with a compact wheel, refer
to page 238.

lity System found on the compressor and

▷ Use of the Mobility System may be ineffec‐
tive if tire damage is greater than approx.
1/8 in/4 mm in size.
▷ Contact the nearest service center if the tire
cannot be made drivable.
▷ If possible, do not remove foreign bodies
that have penetrated the tire.
▷ Pull the speed limit sticker off the sealant
bottle and apply it to the steering wheel.
