MOBILITY Replacing components

162

If the tire cannot maintain the inflation

pressure, drive the vehicle again, refer to

Distributing the sealant. Then repeat steps

1to4.

If an inflation pressure of 1.8 bar/26 psi still

cannot be reached, then the tire is too heavily

damaged. 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.

Changing wheels

The pouch with the wheel changing kit is stored

under the flat load floor.

It includes:

> Vehicle jack

> Reversible ratchet

> Wheel stud wrench

> Extractor hook for wheel center cover

> Chock

Preparing for a wheel change

Observe the safety precautions regarding

flat tires on page 159.<

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

rolling.

2. Uncover the lug bolts if necessary.

3. Loosen the lug bolts by a half turn.

Jacking up the vehicle

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. Slide reversible ratchet onto the fixture on

the jack, arrow 1.
