General information
Switch off the engine before refueling; otherwise, fuel cannot be added to the
tank and a message will be displayed.<
Take all precautionary measures and observe all applicable regulations when handling fuel. Do not carry any spare fuel con- tainers in your vehicle. They can develop a leak and cause an explosion or cause a fire in the event of an accident.<

Fuel specifications
Pull on the green knob with the fuel pump sym- bol; the fuel filler flap opens.
Observe the following when refueling
Take all precautionary measures and observe all applicable regulations when handling fuel; otherwise, there is a danger of personal injury and property damage.<
Do not overfill the fuel tank; otherwise, overflowing fuel can cause damage to the
environment and the vehicle.< When refueling, insert the filler nozzle com- pletely into the filler pipe. Avoid lifting the filler nozzle while filling the tank, as that would lead to > premature pump shutoff > reduced efficiency of the fuel-vapor recov-
ery system.
The fuel tank is full when the filler nozzle clicks off the first time.
Fuel tank capacity
If the range displayed is less than 30 miles/50 km, be sure to refuel; other- wise, engine functions are not guaranteed and damage could occur.< Approx. 13.2 US gal/50 liters, including the reserve capacity of 2.1 US gal/8 liters.
Gasoline For optimum fuel efficiency, the gasoline should be free of sulfur or as low in sulfur as possible. Fuels that are labeled at the pump as containing metal may not be used.
Do not fill the tank with leaded gasoline or gasoline that contains metal additives,
such as manganese or iron; otherwise, long term damage to the catalytic converter or other com- ponents may result.< Fuels with a maximum ethanol content of up to 10%, that is, E10, can be used. The ethanol should meet the following quality standards: US: ASTM 4806-xx CAN: CGSB-3.511-xx xx: Always observe currently valid standards.
Do not fill the tank with E85, i.e. fuel con- taining 85% ethanol, nor with FlexFuel. Otherwise, the engine and fuel supply system will be damaged.< The engine is knocking regulated. Therefore, dif- ferent grades of gasoline can be used for refuel- ing.
Recommended gasoline grades The manufacturer of your MINI recommends: > AKI 91. > John Cooper Works AKI 93.
Minimum grade The manufacturer of your MINI recommends AKI 89.
Do not use any gasoline below the speci- fied minimum fuel grade. Otherwise, the
engine could be damaged.< If you use gasoline with this minimum AKI rating, the engine may produce knocking sounds when starting at high external temperatures. This has no effect on the engine life.

Refueling
The use of poor quality fuels may result in harmful engine deposits or damage. Addi- tionally, problems relating to drivability, starting and stalling, especially under certain environ- mental conditions such as high ambient temper- atures and high altitudes, may occur. If drivability problems are encountered, we rec- ommend switching to a high quality gasoline brand and a higher octane grade - AKI number - for a few tankfuls. To avoid harmful engine deposits, it is highly recommended to purchase gasoline from BP or Top Tier retailers. Failure to comply with these recommendations may result in a need for unscheduled mainte- nance.<

Tire inflation pressures
Information for your safety It is not merely the tires' service life, but also driving comfort and, to a great extent, driving safety that depend on the condition of the tires and the maintenance of the specified tire pres- sure.
Checking pressure
Check the tire inflation pressure regularly and correct it, if necessary: at least twice a month and before starting long trips. If you fail to observe this precaution you may be driving on tires with incorrect tire pressures, a condition that can not only compromise your vehicle's driving stability, but also lead to tire damage and the risk of an accident. Do not drive with deflated, i.e. flat tires, except when using run- flat tires. A flat tire will seriously impair your vehicle's handling and braking response. Attempts to drive on a flat tire can lead to loss of control over the vehicle.< Check the tire inflation pressures only on cold tires. This means after a maximum of 1.25 miles/ 2 km driving or when the vehicle has been parked for at least 2 hours. When tires are warm, the tire inflation pressure is higher.
After adjusting the tire inflation pressure, reinitialize the Flat Tire Monitor, page 72,
or reset the Tire Pressure Monitor, page 75.<
MINI: checking the tire inflation pressure of the compact tire
A valve extension for checking the inflation pres- sure is located behind the bumper.
MINI Clubman: checking the tire inflation pressure of the compact tire To check the inflation pressure, fold up the flat load floor. Remove the toolkit and the space- saver spare tire, refer to page 228.
Inflation pressure specifications MINI: The tables below provide all the correct inflation pressures for the specified tire sizes at ambient temperature.
The tire inflation pressures apply to the tire sizes approved and the tire brands recommended by the manufacturer of your MINI. Your MINI dealer will be glad to advise you.< For correct identification of the right tire infla- tion pressures, observe the following: > Tire sizes for your vehicle > Maximum allowable driving speed
Tire inflation pressures for driving up to 100 mph or 160 km/h For normal driving up to 100 mph or 160 km/h and to achieve optimum driving comfort, adjust pressures to the respective tire inflation pres-

sures listed on the following pages in the col- umns for traveling speeds up to a maximum of 100 mph or 160 km/h. These tire inflation pressures can also be found on the driver's side door pillar when the driver's door is open.
The maximum permitted speed for these tire inflation pressures is 100 mph or
160 km/h. Do not exceed this speed; otherwise, tire damage and accidents may occur.<
Tire inflation pressures for driving above 100 mph or 160 km/h
In order to drive at maximum speeds in excess of 100 mph or 160 km/h, adjust pressures to the respective tire inflation pres- sures listed on the following pages in the col- umns for traveling speeds including those exceeding 100 mph or 160 km/h. Otherwise, tire damage and accidents could occur.< Observe all national and local maximum speed limits; otherwise, violations of the law could occur.

Uniform Tire Quality Grading For instance: Manufacturer's code for tire make Tire size and tire design Tire age Quality grades can be found where applicable on the tire sidewall between tread shoulder and maximum section width. For example: Tread wear 200 Traction AA Temperature A
DOT Quality Grades Tread wear Traction AA A B C Temperature A B C
All passenger car tires must conform to Federal Safety Requirements in addition
to these grades.<
Tread wear The tread wear grade is a comparative rating based on the wear rate of the tire when tested under controlled conditions on a specified gov- ernment test course. For example, a tire graded 150 would wear one and one-half (1γ) times as well on the government course as a tire graded 100. The relative performance of tires depends upon the actual conditions of their use, how- ever, and may depart significantly from the norm due to variations in driving habits, service practices and differences in road characteristics and climate.
Traction The traction grades, from highest to lowest, are AA, A, B, and C. These grades represent the tire's ability to stop on wet pavement, as measured under con- trolled conditions on specified government test surfaces of asphalt and concrete. A tire marked C may have poor traction performance.
The traction grade assigned to this tire is based on straight-ahead braking traction tests, and does not include acceleration, corner- ing, hydroplaning, or peak traction characteris- tics.<
Temperature The temperature grades are A, the highest, B, and C, representing the tire's resistance to the generation of heat and its ability to dissipate heat when tested under controlled conditions on a specified indoor laboratory test wheel. Sus- tained high temperature can cause the material of the tire to degenerate and reduce tire life, and excessive temperature can lead to sudden tire failure. The grade C corresponds to a level of performance which all passenger car tires must meet under the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 109. Grades B and A represent lev- els of performance on the laboratory test wheel that exceed the minimum required by law. The temperature grade for this tire is established for a tire that is properly
inflated and not overloaded. Excessive speed, underinflation, or excessive loading, either sep- arately or in combination, can cause heat buildup and possible tire failure.<
RSC - run-flat tires You will recognize run-flat tires by a circular symbol containing the letters RSC on the side of the tire, page 205.
M+S Winter and all-season tires. These have better winter properties than sum- mer tires.
XL Designation for specially reinforced tires.

Wheels and tires
Tire damage Driving over rough or damaged road surfaces, as well as debris, curbs, and other obstacles can cause serious damage to wheels, tires, and sus- pension parts. This is more likely to occur with low-profile tires, which provide less cushioning between the wheel and the road. Be careful to avoid road hazards and reduce your speed, especially if your vehicle is equipped with low- profile tires. Unusual vibrations encountered during normal vehicle operation can indicate tire failure or some other vehicle defect. This can, for exam- ple, be caused by driving over curbs. The same applies to any other abnormal road behavior, such as pulling severely to the right or left.
In these cases, reduce speed immediately and have wheels and tires thoroughly
checked. To do so, drive carefully to the nearest MINI dealer or a specialized tire shop that has specially trained personnel working in accor- dance with the specifications of the MINI manu- facturer. If necessary, have the vehicle towed there. Otherwise, tire damage can be extremely dan- gerous for vehicle occupants and other road users.<
Tire age The manufacturing date of tires is contained in the tire coding: DOT ... 3612 means that the tire was manufac- tured during the 36th week of 2012. For various reasons, such as the development of brittleness, the manufacturer of your MINI rec- ommends tire replacement after no more than 6 years, regardless of the actual wear of the tires.
Tire condition Inspect your tires regularly for tread wear, signs of damage and for foreign objects lodged in the tread. Check the tread depth.
Tread depth The tread depth should not drop below 0.12 in/ 3 mm, although, for example, European legisla- tion only specifies a minimum tread depth of 0.063 in/1.6 mm. At tread depths below 0.12 in/ 3 mm there is an increased risk of high-speed hydroplaning, even when only small amounts of water are present on the road surface.
Winter tires When winter tires wear down past a tread depth of 0.16 in/4 mm, they become perceptibly less suitable for winter conditions. In the interest of safety, new tires should be installed.
Minimum tread depth
Wear indicators in the base of the tread groove are distributed around the tire's circumference; the letters TWI, for Tread Wear Indicator, on the tire's sidewalls identify tires that incorporate these wear indicators. When tire tread is worn down to the level of the wear indicators, the remaining tread depth is 0.063 in/1.6 mm.

MOBILITY
Run-flat tires
The symbol identifying run-flat tires is a circle with the letters RSC on the sidewall. Run-flat tires comprise a conditionally self-sup- porting tire and a special rim. The reinforcement in the sidewalls ensures that the tire can con- tinue to be used subject to certain restrictions, even if depressurized. For information on continuing to drive with a flat tire, refer to Indication of a flat tire, page 73.
New wheels and tires
Have new wheels and tires mounted only by your MINI dealer or a specialized tire shop that has specially trained personnel work- ing in accordance with the specifications of the MINI manufacturer. If this work is not carried out properly, there is a danger of subsequent dam- age and related safety hazards. Make sure that the new wheels are balanced.<
Retreaded tires
The manufacturer of your MINI recom- mends that you avoid using retreaded tires, as this could impair driving safety. The causes for this include potentially different tire casing structures and often wide variations in tire age, which can result in a limited service life.<
Correct wheels and tires
The manufacturer of your MINI recom- mends mounting only wheels and tires
that it has specifically approved for use on your particular model. Although other wheels and tires may theoretically have the same dimen- sions, variations in factors such as manufactur- ing tolerances can result in contact between tire and bodywork, ultimately leading to serious accidents. The manufacturer of your MINI can- not evaluate non-approved wheels and tires to determine if they are suited for use, and there- fore cannot ensure the operating safety of the vehicle if they are mounted.< Your MINI dealer will be glad to inform you about the correct wheel and tire combination for your vehicle. The correct combination of wheels and tires is also necessary to ensure reliable operation of various vehicle systems such as ABS and DSC. To maintain good handling and vehicle response, use only tires of a single brand and tread configuration. After a tire has been dam- aged, mount the previous wheel and tire combi- nation again as soon as possible.
Wheels with Tire Pressure Monitor TPM electronics When mounting new tires or changing over from summer to winter tires, or vice versa, only use wheels with TPM electronics; otherwise, the Tire Pressure Monitor may not be able to detect a puncture, refer to page 75. Your MINI dealer will be glad to advise you.
Recommended tire brands
For each tire size, the manufacturer of your MINI recommends certain tire brands. They are

Swapping wheels among the axles Depending on the individual use, front and rear tires may exhibit different wear and tear. In order to maintain an even wear and tear, the wheels may be rotated between the axles. Your MINI dealer will be glad to advise you. Always check the inflation pressure after the tire rotation, if necessary change the pressure.
Snow chains Only certain types of fine-link snow chains have been tested by the manufacturer of your MINI, classified as road-safe and recommended. Con- tact your MINI dealer for more details. Only attach snow chains in pairs to the front wheels with the following tires. > 175/65 R 15 M+S > 175/60 R 16 M+S John Cooper Works: > 185/50 R 17 86 H M+S XL RSC Observe the manufacturer's instructions when mounting snow chains. Do not exceed a speed of 30 mph or 50 km/h.
Do not initialize the Flat Tire Monitor if snow chains are mounted; otherwise, the
instrument might issue an incorrect reading. When driving with snow chains, it can be useful to briefly deactivate DSC or activate DTC, refer to page 70.<
marked with a clearly visible MINI designation on the sidewall of the tire. When properly used, these tires meet the high- est standards in terms of safety and handling characteristics.
Run-flat tires When mounting new tires or changing over from summer to winter tires and vice versa, mount run-flat tires for your own safety. Keep in mind that no space-saver spare tire is available in the event of a flat. Your MINI dealer will be glad to advise you.
Special characteristics of winter tires The manufacturer of your MINI recommends the use of winter tires on snowy roads or if temper- atures drop below 457/+76. Although all- season M+S tires provide better winter traction than summer tires, they generally fail to provide the same levels of cold-weather performance as winter tires.
Pay attention to speed
Always comply with the speed limit for the winter tires mounted on your car; failure
to do so could result in tire damage and acci- dents.< If the car is capable of speeds higher than that permitted for the winter tires, a label stating the maximum permitted speed for the mounted tires must be displayed in your field of view. This label is available at your tire dealer or MINI dealer.
Storage Always store wheels and tires in a cool, dry place with as little exposure to light as possible. Always protect tires against all contact with oil, grease and fuels. Do not exceed the maximum tire inflation pres- sure indicated on the sidewall of the tire.

Close the hood from a height of approx. 16 in/ 40 cm with momentum. It must be clearly heard to engage.
If you notice any signs while driving your vehicle that the hood is not completely
closed, stop at once and close it securely. Make sure that the closing path of the hood is clear; otherwise, injuries may result.<
Engine oil Engine oil consumption depends on driving style and operating conditions, e.g., with a very sporty driving style, the engine oil consumption is significantly increased. Therefore, check the engine oil level regularly after each refueling.
Checking engine oil level 1. With the vehicle's engine at normal operat-
ing temperature, i.e. after uninterrupted driving for at least 6 miles/10 km, park the vehicle on a level surface.
2. Switch off the engine. 3. Pull the dipstick out after approx. 5 minutes and wipe it off with a lint-free cloth, paper towel or similar material.
4. Carefully push the dipstick all the way into
the guide tube and pull it out again. The oil level should be between the two marks on the dipstick.
Pull the lever.
Do not clean the windshield and head- lamps if the hood is unlocked as this may

Socket for On-Board Diagnosis OBD
The primary components that make up the emissions can be checked by a device via the OBD socket.
Emissions
The warning lamps come on. The vehicle is producing higher emissions. You can continue your journey, but moderate your speed and exercise due caution.
Have the car checked as soon as possible. Under certain circumstances, one of the lamps will flash or light up continuously. This indicates excessive misfiring or a malfunction in the engine. If this happens, reduce your speed and visit the nearest MINI dealer as soon as possible. Severe misfiring can quickly lead to serious dam- age of emissions-related components, espe- cially the catalytic converter. In addition, mechanical engine components can become damaged.
If the fuel cap is not properly tightened, the OBD system may conclude that fuel vapors are escaping, causing an indica- tor to light up. If the fuel cap is then tightened, the indicator should go out within a few days.

External care
Washing your vehicle
Especially during the winter months the vehicle should be frequently washed. Dirt
and road salt can damage the vehicle.<
After washing the vehicle, apply the brakes briefly to dry them; otherwise, water can reduce braking efficiency over the short term and the brake rotors can corrode.< Regularly open the hood and clear out any debris such as leaves that may have collected in the region of the windshield.
Car washes Preference should be given to cloth car washes.
Do not use automatic high-pressure car washes; otherwise, water may drip into
the vehicle around the windows.< Before driving into the car wash, check if the sys- tem is suitable for your MINI. Observe the fol- lowing points: > Vehicle dimensions, page 239. > If necessary: fold in the outside mirrors,
page 42.
> Maximum permissible tire width.
Avoid car washes with tracks higher than 4 in/10 cm; otherwise, the chassis could
be damaged.< Preparations for driving into the car wash: > Unscrew the rod antenna. > Deactivate the rain sensor to prevent unin-
tentional wiping.
> Deactivate rear window wiper and protect it
from damage. Ask the car wash operator about measures that can be taken to protect the wipers.

> Remove additional attachments, e.g. spoil- ers or telephone antennas, if there is a pos- sibility that they could be damaged.
> Insert the remote control into the ignition
lock.
Automatic transmission Before driving into the car wash, make sure that the vehicle can roll: 1. Place the remote control, even with Comfort
Access, in the ignition lock.
2. Move the selector lever to position N. 3. Release the parking brake. 4. Switch off the engine. 5.
Insert the remote control in the ignition lock so that the vehicle can roll.
Steam jets/high-pressure washers
When using steam jets or high-pressure washers, make sure that you maintain suf-
ficient distance from the vehicle and do not exceed a maximum temperature of 1407/ 606. If the distance is too close, the pressure too high, or the temperature too high, parts of the vehicle can be damaged, or water can penetrate. Observe the operating instructions for high- pressure washers.<
Do not spray sensors such as Park Dis- tance Control with high-pressure washers for a long time or at a distance of less than 1 ft/ 30 cm.<
Manual washing Use a great deal of water and, if necessary, car shampoo when washing your car by hand. Clean the vehicle with a sponge or a washing brush applying a slight amount of pressure.
Before cleaning the windshield, deacti- vate the rain sensor or turn off the ignition
to prevent unintentional wiping.<
Observe local regulations regarding wash- ing vehicles by hand.<
214
Headlamps Do not wipe dry and do not use abrasive or cor- rosive cleaning agents. Remove dirt and con- tamination, such as insects, by soaking with shampoo and then washing with plenty of water. Do not remove accumulated ice and snow with an ice scraper; use window deicers instead.
Windows Clean the outside and inside of the windows and mirrors with a window cleaner.
Do not clean the mirrors with cleaners containing quartz.<
Wiper blades Clean with soapy water and change regularly to prevent the formation of streaks.
Wax, preservatives and dirt on the win- dows cause streaks when the windshield wipers are on, and can cause premature wear of the wiper blades and interfere with the rain sen- sor.<
Paintwork, care Regular care helps your vehicle retain its value and protects the paint from the long-term effects of aggressive substances. Environmental influences in areas with increased air pollution or natural contaminants, such as tree sap or pollen, can affect the vehicle paintwork. It is therefore important to adjust the frequency and extent of vehicle care corre- spondingly. Immediately remove any particularly aggressive substances, such as fuel that has overflowed, oil, grease, brake fluid, or bird droppings; otherwise, paint damage can be caused.
Removing paintwork damage
Depending on the severity of the damage, immediately repair stone damage or
scratches to prevent rusting.<
Online Edition for Part no. 01402917320 - © 10/12 BMW AG The manufacturer of the MINI recommends repairing paint damage professionally according to factory specifications with original MINI paints.
Preservation Preservation is necessary when water no longer beads on the clean paint surface. To preserve the paint, only use preservatives that contain carnauba or synthetic waxes.
Rubber seals Only treat with water or rubber care products. Do not use silicon sprays or other silicon- containing care products on rubber seals;
otherwise, noise and damage could occur.<
Chrome parts Carefully clean vehicle parts such as the radiator grill and door handles with copious quantities of water and, if necessary, a shampoo additive, especially when contaminated with road salt. For additional treatment, use chrome polish.
Light alloy wheels The system produces brake dust that collects on the light alloy wheels. Clean them regularly with acid-free wheel cleaner.
Do not use aggressive, acid-containing, highly alkaline, or abrasive cleansers or
steam jets hotter than 1407/606 as they may cause damage.<
External sensors
Keep the outside sensors on the vehicle such as the Park Distance Control clean and ice-free to ensure that they function prop- erly.<

MOBILITY
Internal care
Upholstery/fabrics Regularly use a vacuum cleaner to remove sur- face dirt. In case of serious spots such as liquid stains, use a soft sponge or lint-free microfiber cloth and suitable interior cleaners. Observe the instruc- tions on the packaging.
Clean upholstery up to the seams. Do not rub forcefully.< Velcro fasteners on pants or other items of clothing can damage seat covers. Make
sure that all Velcro fasteners are closed.<
Leather/leather coverings
The leather processed by the manufac- turer of your MINI is a high-quality natural
product. Light variations in the grain is one of the typical properties of natural leather.< Dust and road grit in the pores and folds of the leather have an abrasive effect, leading to increased wear and causing the leather surface to become brittle prematurely. Use a cloth or vacuum cleaner to remove dust on a regular basis. Especially when the leather has a light color, it should be cleaned regularly since it tends to get heavily soiled. Treat the leather twice a year using a leather lotion since dirt and grease will gradually attack the leather's protective layer.
Carpets/floor mats
Keep floor mats, carpet, and other objects out of the movement range of the pedals; otherwise, they may inhibit the function of the pedals during driving. Do not place additional floor mats onto an exist- ing one or onto other objects. Only use floor mats that have been approved for the vehicle and can be appropriately fastened.
