If the tire cannot maintain the inflation
pressure, drive the vehicle again, refer to

Distributing the sealant. Then repeat steps
1 to 4.
If an inflation pressure of 26 psi/180 kPa still
cannot be reached, the tire is too heavily dam-
aged. Contact the nearest MINI dealer.

Driving on

Do not exceed the permitted maximum
speed of 50 mph/80 km/h; doing so may

result in an accident.

Replace the defective tire as soon as possible
and have the new wheel/tire assembly bal-
anced.
Have the Mobility System refilled.

Driving with the space-saver spare tire

Drive cautiously and do not exceed a
speed of 50 mph/80 km/h. Changes may

occur in vehicle handling such as lower track sta-
bility during braking, longer braking distances
and changes in self-steering properties when
close to the handling limit. These properties are
more noticeable with winter tires.

Only one space-saver spare tire may be
mounted at one time. Mount a wheel and

tire of the original size as soon as possible, to
avoid any safety risks.
