Replacing parts
MOBILITY
163
Do not let the compressor run for
more than 10 minutes. Otherwise the
device will overheat and could be dam-
aged.
<
8. Switch off the compressor.
If a pressure of 1.8 bar/26.1 psi is not achieved:
1. Remove the filling hose 2 from the wheel
and drive forwards and backwards for
approx. 10 m, approx. 32 ft, to allow the
sealant to spread inside the tyre.
2. Inflate the tyre with the compressor again.
If a tyre pressure of 1.8 bar/26.1 psi still
cannot be achieved, the tyre damage is
too severe. Contact your nearest MINI Service
Centre.
<
Stowing the Mobility System
1. Unscrew the filling hose 2 for the sealant cyl-
inder from the wheel.
2. Unscrew the compressor's connecting
hose
6 from the sealant cylinder.
3. Connect the filling hose 2 for the sealant cyl-
inder to the free connection on the sealant
cylinder.
This stops the rest of the sealant escaping
from the bottle.
4. Pack the empty sealant cylinder to avoid
soiling in the luggage compartment.
5. Secure the Mobility System in the vehicle.
Spreading the sealant
Immediately drive for approx. 5 km, approx.
3 miles, so that the sealant can spread evenly.
Do not exceed a speed of 80 km/h,
approx. 50 mph.
If possible, maintain a speed of at least 20 km/h,
approx. 12 mph.
<
Correcting the tyre inflation pressure
1. Stop in a suitable location after a distance of
approx. 5 km, approx. 3.5 miles, or
10 minutes.
2. Screw the connecting hose 6 of the com-
pressor directly onto the tyre valve.
3. Insert the plug 5 into the socket on the
inside of the vehicle.
4. Correct the tyre inflation pressure to 1.8 bar/
26.1 psi. For this purpose, carry out the fol-
lowing while the engine is running:
>
Increase the tyre inflation pressure: switch
on the compressor. Switch of the compres-
sor to check the currently set tyre inflation
pressure.
Do not let the compressor run for
more than 10 minutes. Otherwise the
device will overheat and could be dam-
aged.
<
> Reducing tyre inflation pressure: press the
deflation button
9 .
If the tyre inflation pressure is not main-
tained, drive the vehicle again, see
Spreading the sealant. Subsequently repeat
steps 1 to 4.
If a tyre pressure of 1.8 bar/26.1 psi still cannot
be achieved, the tyre damage is too severe. Con-
tact the nearest MINI Service Centre.
<
Resuming the journey
Do not exceed the maximum speed of
80 km/h, approx. 50 mph, to avoid the
risk of accidents. <
Have the defective tyre replaced as soon as pos-
sible, and the wheel and tyre rebalanced.
Have the Mobility System refilled.
