and sealant bottle or the compressor and
wheel

7 On/off switch
8 Pressure gauge for indicating the tire infla-

tion pressure

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:

Filling the tire with sealant

Distributing the sealant

Correct the tire inflation pressure

Filling the tire with sealant

Proceed in the specified order; otherwise,
sealant may emerge under high pres-

sure.

Shake the sealant bottle.

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.

Insert the sealant bottle on the compressor
housing in an upright position.

Unscrew the dust cap from the valve of the
defective wheel and screw the filling hose 2
of the sealant bottle onto the valve.

Ensure that the compressor is switched off.

Insert the plug 5 into the lighter socket/
power socket in the vehicle interior,

With the engine running:
Switch on the compressor and let it 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 filling with the sealant, the infla-
tion pressure can briefly rise to

approx. 73 psi/500 kPa. 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.

Switch off the compressor.

If an air pressure of 26 psi/180 kPa is not
reached:

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.

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.
