Using the Mobility Kit

To repair a tire puncture with the Mobility Kit,
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 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,
page

With the engine running:
Switch on the compressor and let run for
about 3 to 8 minutes in order to add the
sealant and to achieve an inflation pressure
of about 1.8 bar/26 psi.

When adding the sealant, the filling
pressure can temporarily increase up

to about 5 bar/73 psi. 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 inflation pressure of 1.8 bar/26 psi 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 1.8 bar/26 psi is
not reached, then the tire is too badly

damaged. Please contact the nearest MINI
dealer.
