Lamps and bulbs Lamps and bulbs make an essential contribution to vehicle safety. They should, therefore, be handled carefully. The manufacturer of your MINI recommends having your MINI dealer per- form any work that you do not feel competent to perform yourself or that is not described here. Never touch the glass of new bulbs with your bare fingers, as even minute
amounts of contamination will burn into the bulb's surface and reduce its service life. Use a clean tissue, cloth or something similar, or hold the bulb by its base.< You can obtain a selection of replacement bulbs at your MINI dealer.
Only replace bulbs after they have cooled down; otherwise, you may burn your fin-
gers.<
When working on electrical systems, always begin by switching off the con- sumer in question; otherwise, short circuits could result. To avoid possible injury or equip- ment damage when replacing bulbs, observe
any instructions provided by the bulb manufac- turer.< Caring for headlamps, refer to page 214.
For any bulb replacement not described below, contact a MINI dealer or a work-
shop that has specially trained personnel work- ing in accordance with the specifications of the MINI manufacturer.<
For checking and adjusting headlamp aim, please contact your MINI dealer.<
Light-emitting diodes LEDs Light-emitting diodes installed behind translu- cent lenses serve as the light sources for many of the controls and displays in your vehicle. These light-emitting diodes are related to conven- tional laser diodes, and legislation defines them as Class 1 light-emitting diodes.
Do not remove the covers or expose the eyes directly to the unfiltered light source
for several hours; otherwise, this could cause irritation of the retina.<
Headlamp glass lens In cool or humid weather, condensation may occur on the interiors of the headlamps. The condensation disappears a short time after the light is switched on. The headlamps do not need to be changed. Do not remove the condensation from head- lamps, despite driving with lights on, and if con- densation increases, e.g., because of water droplets, have this checked by your MINI dealer.
Xenon lamps The service life of these bulbs is very long and the probability of failure very low, provided that they are not switched on and off an excessive number of times. If a xenon lamp fails neverthe- less, switch on the fog lamps and continue the journey with great care, provided that local leg- islation does not prohibit this.
Work on the xenon lighting system, including lamp replacement, is only to be

Repairing a flat tire
Safety measures in the event of a break- down:
Park the vehicle as far as possible from moving traffic and switch on the hazard warning flash- ers. Turn the steering wheel until the front wheels are in the straight-ahead position and engage the steering wheel lock. Engage the parking brake and shift into 1st or reverse gear or place the selector lever in position P. All passengers should be outside the vehicle and in a safe place, e.g. behind a guardrail. Erect a warning triangle or warning flasher at the appropriate distance if necessary. Comply with all safety guidelines and regulations.< In the event of a flat tire, different procedures should be followed depending on the equip- ment included in your vehicle: > MINI Mobility Kit, refer to the following sec-
tion
> Run-flat tires, page 227
> Tire change with space-saver spare tire,page 227
MINI Mobility Kit
Preparations Use of the MINI Mobility Kit may be ineffective if the tire puncture measures approx. 1/8 in/4 mm or more. Contact the nearest MINI dealer if the tire cannot be made drivable with the Mobility Kit. Do not remove foreign bodies which have pen- etrated the tire if possible.
Follow the instructions on using the Mobil- ity Kit found on the compressor and the
sealant bottle.< Remove the adhesive label for the speed limit from the sealant bottle and affix it to the steer- ing wheel.

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.
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.

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.<
228
Preparing for a tire change
Observe the safety precautions regarding flat tires on page 224.< 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.
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.
Online Edition for Part no. 01402917320 - © 10/12 BMW AG Replacing components
MOBILITY
The jack base must be perpendicular to the surface beneath the jacking point.
Vehicle battery
Maintenance The battery is maintenance-free; that is, 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 convenience functions are fully available and, if necessary, the corresponding Check Control messages are no longer dis- played.
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 battery.< Only charge the battery in the vehicle when the engine is off. Connections, refer to Jump-start- ing on page 232.
General information To guarantee the full service life of the battery, make sure that the battery is always properly charged. It may be necessary to charge the battery in the following situations: > if frequent short trips are taken. > if the vehicle is frequently parked for more
than a month.

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. 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.

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.<
