The individual vehicle The manufacturer of your MINI is the Bayerische Motoren Werke Aktiengesellschaft, BMW AG. When you ordered your MINI, you chose various items of equipment. This Owner's Manual describes the entire array of options and equip- ment that the manufacturer of your MINI makes available with a specific model range. Bear in mind that the manual may contain infor- mation on accessories and equipment that you have not specified for your own vehicle. Sections describing options and special equipment are marked by asterisks * to assist you in identifying possible differences between the descriptions in this manual and your own vehicle's equipment. If your MINI features equipment not described in this Owner's Manual, observe the enclosed Supplementary Owner's Manuals.


Editorial notice The manufacturer pursues a policy of continu- ous, ongoing development that is conceived to ensure that MINI vehicles continue to embody the highest quality and safety standards com- bined with advanced, state-of-the-art technol- ogy. For this reason, it is possible in exceptional cases that features described in this Owner's Manual could differ from those on your vehicle.


For your safety


Maintenance and repair


Advanced technology, e.g. the use of modern materials and powerful electron- ics, requires specially adapted maintenance and repair methods. Therefore, have the necessary work on your MINI only carried out by a MINI dealer or a workshop that has specially trained personnel working in accordance with the specifications of the MINI manufacturer. If this work is not carried out properly, there is a dan- ger of subsequent damage and related safety hazards.<


Parts and accessories


For your own safety, use genuine parts and accessories approved by the manu-


facturer of the MINI. When you purchase accessories tested and approved by the manufacturer of the MINI and Original MINI Parts, you simultaneously acquire the assurance that they have been thor- oughly tested by the manufacturer of the MINI to ensure optimum performance when installed on your vehicle. The manufacturer of the MINI warrants these parts to be free from defects in material and workmanship. The manufacturer of the MINI will not accept any liability for damage resulting from installation of parts and accessories not approved by the man- ufacturer of the MINI. The manufacturer of the MINI cannot test every product made by other manufacturers to verify if it can be used on a MINI safely and without risk to either the vehicle, its operation, or its occu- pants. Original MINI Parts, MINI Accessories and other products approved by the manufacturer of the MINI, together with professional advice on using these items, are available from all MINI dealers.
