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.< 1. Shake the sealant bottle. 2. 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.
3.
4. Unscrew the dust cap from the valve of the defective wheel and screw the filling hose 2 of the sealant bottle onto the valve.
5. Ensure that the compressor is switched off. 6.
Insert the plug 5 into the lighter socket/ power socket in the vehicle interior, page 99.
7. 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.<
8. Switch off the compressor. If an inflation pressure of 1.8 bar/26 psi is not reached: 1. 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.
2.
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.<

Stowing Mobility Kit 1. Unscrew filler hose 2 of the sealant bottle
from the wheel.
2. Unscrew connecting hose of the
compressor 6 from the sealant bottle.
3. Connect the filler hose 2 of the sealant bot-
tle to the unoccupied connection on the sealant bottle. This prevents the rest of the sealant from escaping from the bottle.
4. Wrap the empty sealant bottle in suitable material to avoid dirtying the cargo area.
5. Stow Mobility Kit back in the vehicle.
Distributing the sealant Immediately drive approx. 3.1 miles/5 km so that the sealant evenly distributes itself. Do not exceed speeds of 50 mph/ 80 km/h.
If possible, do not drop below 10 mph/ 20 km/h.<
Adjusting the tire pressure 1. After driving approx. 3.1 miles/5 km or 10 minutes, stop at a suitable location.
2. Screw the connection hose 6 of the com-
3.
pressor directly onto the tire valve. Insert the plug 5 into the power socket in the vehicle interior.
4. Adjust tire pressure to 1.8 bar/26 psi. With
the engine running:
> To increase the inflation pressure: switch on the compressor. To check the current infla- tion pressure, switch off the compressor.
Do not run the compressor for longer than 10 minutes; otherwise, the
device will overheat and possibly be dam- aged.<
> To decrease the inflation pressure: press the
release button 9.
228
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 1.8 bar/26 psi still can- not be reached, then the tire is too heavily dam- aged. Contact your 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 Kit refilled.

Driving with the space-saver spare tire
Jacking up the vehicle
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.<
Check the tire inflation pressure at the ear- liest opportunity and correct it if neces-
sary. Replace the defective tire as soon as possi- ble and have the new wheel/tire assembly balanced.<
Preparing for a tire change
Observe the safety precautions regarding flat tires on page 226.< Additional safety measures when chang- ing tires:
Only change the tire when parked on a surface that is level, firm and not slippery. The vehicle or the jack could slip sideways on soft or slippery support surfaces, such as snow, ice, flagstones, etc. Do not use a wooden block or similar object as a support base for the jack, as this would prevent it from extending to its full support height and reduce its load-carrying capacity. Do not lie under the vehicle or start the engine when the vehicle is supported by the jack; other- wise, there is a risk of fatal injury.< 1. Place the foldable chock behind the front
wheel on the other side of the vehicle or in front of the wheel if the vehicle is on an incline. If the wheel is changed on a surface with a more severe slope, take additional precautions to secure the vehicle from roll- ing.
2. Uncover the lug bolts if necessary. 3. Loosen the lug bolts by a half turn.
230
The vehicle jack is designed for changing wheels only. Do not attempt to raise
another vehicle model with it or to raise any load of any kind. To do so could cause accidents and personal injury.< 1. Place the jack at the jacking point closest to
the wheel. The jack base must be perpendicular to the surface beneath the jacking point.
2. During jacking up, insert the jack head in the
3.
square recess of the jacking point. Jack the vehicle up until the wheel you are changing is raised off the ground.
Mounting the space-saver spare tire 1. Unscrew the lug bolts and remove the
wheel.
2. Remove accumulations of mud or dirt from
the mounting surfaces of the wheel and hub. Clean the lug bolts.
3. Lift the new wheel into place. 4. Screw at least two lug bolts finger-tight into
opposite bolt holes.
5. Screw in the remaining bolts.

MOBILITY
6. Tighten all the lug bolts firmly in a diagonal
pattern.
7. Lower the vehicle. 8. Remove the jack.
Tightening the lug bolts Tighten the lug bolts in a diagonal pattern.
Immediately have the wheels checked with a calibrated torque wrench to ensure that the lug bolts are firmly seated. Otherwise, incorrectly tightened lug bolts can present a safety hazard.< Tightening torque: 103.3 lb ft or 140 Nm. Replace the defective tire as soon as possible and have the new wheel/tire assembly bal- anced.
Vehicle battery
Maintenance The battery is 100% maintenance-free, the electrolyte will last for the life of the battery when the vehicle is operated in a temperate cli- mate.
Battery replacement
Only use vehicle batteries that have been approved for your vehicle by the manu- facturer; otherwise, the vehicle could be dam- aged and systems or functions may not be fully available.< After a battery replacement, have the battery registered on the vehicle by your MINI dealer to ensure that all comfort functions are fully avail- able.
Charging the battery
Note
Do not connect battery chargers to the sockets installed in the vehicle at the fac- tory; otherwise you may cause damage to the vehicle.<
Starting-aid terminals Only charge the battery in the vehicle when the engine is off. Connections, refer to Jump-start- ing on page 234.
Charger The use of a charger ensures that the battery has a sufficient charge even when it is used for fre- quent short-distance drives, for example. Charg- ers that have been developed especially for the vehicle and adapted to the vehicle electrical sys- tem are available at your MINI dealer.
Disposal
After replacing old batteries, return the used batteries to your MINI dealer or to a
recycling center. Maintain the battery in an upright position for transport and storage. Always secure the battery against tipping over during transport.<
Power failure After a temporary power loss, some equipment may not be fully functional and may require ini- tialization. Individual settings are also lost and must be reprogrammed: > Time and date
These values must be updated, page 64.
> Onboard monitor
Operability must be waited for, page 112.
> Glass sunroof, electric
It may only be possible to tilt the sunroof, if applicable. The system must be initialized. Contact your nearest MINI dealer.

injury occur.< 1. Open the battery cover in the engine com- partment to access the positive terminal of your MINI.
In the cargo area under the loading sill. Open the center lock to take it out.
Jump-starting If the car's own battery is flat, your MINI's engine can be started by connecting two jumper cables to another vehicle's battery. You can also use the same method to help start another vehicle. Only use jumper cables with fully-insulated clamp handles.
Do not touch any electrically live parts when the engine is running, or a fatal acci- dent may occur. Carefully adhere to the follow- ing sequence, both to prevent damage to one or both vehicles, and to guard against possible per- sonal injuries.<
Preparation 1. Check whether the battery of the other vehi-
cle has a voltage of 12 volts and approxi- mately the same capacitance in Ah. This information can be found on the battery.
2. Switch off the engine of the support vehicle. 3. Switch off any consumers in both vehicles. There must not be any contact between the bodies of the two vehicles; otherwise,
there is a danger of shorting.<

Starting the engine 1. Start the engine of the donor vehicle and allow it to run for a few minutes at slightly increased idle speed.
2. Start the engine of the other vehicle in the
usual manner. If the first start attempt is not successful, wait a few minutes before another attempt in order to allow the discharged battery to recharge.
3. Let the engines run for a few minutes. 4. Disconnect the jumper cables by reversing
the above connecting sequence.
If necessary, have the battery checked and recharged.
Never use spray fluids to start the engine.<
Tow-starting, towing away
Observe the applicable laws and regula- tions for tow-starting and towing vehi-
cles.<
Do not transport any passengers other than the driver in a vehicle that is being
towed.<
Using a tow fitting The screw-in tow fitting must always be carried in the car. It can be screwed in at the front or rear of the MINI. It is stored in the toolkit in the cargo area under- neath the cover on the right-hand side, page 219.
Use only the tow fitting provided with the vehicle and screw it all the way in. Use the tow fitting for towing on paved roads only. Avoid lateral loading of the tow fitting, e.g. do not lift the vehicle by the tow fitting. Otherwise, the tow fitting and the vehicle could be damaged.<

Being towed
Make sure that the ignition is switched on, refer to page 49; otherwise, the low
beams, tail lamps, turn signals, and windshield wipers may be unavailable. Do not tow the vehi- cle with just the rear axle raised, as this would allow the steering to turn.< There is no power assist while the engine is off. Thus, braking and steering will require increased effort. Switch on the hazard warning flashers, depend- ing on local regulations.
Manual transmission Gearshift lever in neutral position.
Automatic transmission
Tow vehicles with automatic transmission only with a tow truck or with the front
wheels lifted; otherwise, the transmission can be damaged.<
236
Towing with a tow bar
The towing vehicle must not be lighter than the towed vehicle; otherwise, it may
be impossible to maintain control.< The tow fittings used should be on the same side on both vehicles. Should it prove impossible to avoid mounting the tow bar at an angle, please observe the following: > Clearance and maneuvering capability will
be sharply limited during cornering.
> The tow bar will generate lateral forces if it is
attached offset.
Only attach the tow bar to the tow fittings, as attachment to other vehicle parts can
lead to damage.<
Towing with a tow rope When starting off in the towing vehicle, make sure that the tow rope is taut.
To avoid jerking and the associated stresses on vehicle components when
towing, always use nylon ropes or nylon straps. Attach the tow rope to the tow fittings only, as attaching it to other parts of the vehicle could result in damage.<
Towing with a tow truck
Have the MINI transported by a tow truck with a so-called lift bar or on a flat bed.
Do not lift vehicle by tow fitting or body and chassis parts, otherwise damage may
result.<
