Notes on the Owner’s Manual In compiling this Owner’s Manual we have made every effort to furnish you with a convenient reference source affording quick access to all the essentials. The fastest way to find detailed information on any specific subject is to turn to the comprehensive index at the back of the manual. If you wish to gain an initial over- view of your vehicle, you will find this in the first chapter. Should you wish to sell your MINI at some time in the future, please remember to hand over this Owner’s Manual to the new owner; it is an important part of the vehicle. If you have any additional questions, your MINI center will be glad to advise you.

Symbols used

Indicates precautions that must be followed precisely in order to avoid the possibility of personal injury and serious damage to the vehicle.

Contains information that will assist you in gaining the optimum benefit from your vehicle and enable you to care more effectively for your vehicle.

Refers to measures that can be taken to help protect the environment.

Marks the end of a specific item of

information.

Indicates special equipment, country- specific equipment and optional extras.

Your individual vehicle The manufacturer of your MINI is the Bayerische Motoren Werke Aktiengesell- schaft (BMW AG). On purchasing your MINI, you have decided in favor of a model with individualized equipment and features. This Owner’s Manual describes the entire array of options and equipment available with a specific manufacturer model range.

We hope you will understand that equip- ment and features are included that you might not have chosen for your vehicle. To assist you in identifying possible variations between your own vehicle and the manual’s contents, the passages describing optional accessories and special equipment are marked with an asterisk

Identifies systems or components, which your MINI center can either

activate or adapt to suit an individual driver’s requirements ("Vehicle Memory"), see page 41.

If your MINI features equipment that is not described in this Owner’s Manual (a car radio, for instance), we have enclosed addi- tional Owner’s Manuals. We ask you to read these manuals as well.

Symbol for vehicle parts

Indicates that you should consult the relevant section of this Owner’s

Manual for information on a particular part or assembly.

Notes Symbols Your individual vehicle

Editorial notice The manufacturer pursues a policy of continuous, ongoing development that is conceived to ensure that the MINI continues to embody the highest quality and safety standards combined with advanced, state-of-the-art technology. For this reason, it is possible that the features described in this Owner’s Manual could differ from those on your vehicle. Nor can errors and omissions be entirely ruled out. You are therefore asked to appreciate that no legal claims can be entertained on the basis of the data, illustrations or descrip- tions in this Owner’s Manual.

For your own safety

Important safety information.

Use unleaded gasoline only. Fuels containing up to and including

10% ethanol or other oxygenates with up to 2.8% oxygen by weight (i.e. 15% MTBE or 3% methanol plus an equivalent amount of co-solvent) will not void the applicable warranties with respect to defects in mate- rials or workmanship. Field experience has indicated significant differences in fuel quality (volatility, composition, additives, others) among gasolines offered for sale in the United States and Canada. The use of poor-quality fuels may result in driveability, starting and stalling problems especially under certain environmental conditions, such as high ambient temperature and high altitude. Should you encounter driveability prob- lems which you suspect could be related to the fuel you are using, we recommend that you respond by switching to a recognized high-quality brand. Failure to comply with these recommenda- tions may result in unscheduled mainte- nance. Obey pertinent safety rules when you are handling gasoline.

For your own safety, use genuine parts and accessories approved by the manufacturer of the MINI. When you purchase accessories tested and approved by the manufacturer of the MINI and Original MINI Parts, you simulta- neously acquire the assurance that they have been thoroughly tested by the manu- facturer 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 mate- rial and workmanship. The manufacturer of the MINI will not accept any liability for damages resulting from installation of parts and accessories not approved by the manufacturer of the MINI. The manufacturer of the MINI cannot test every product from other manufacturers to verify if it can be used on a MINI safely and without risk to either the vehicle, its opera- tion, or its occupants. Original MINI Parts, MINI Accessories and other products approved by the manufac- turer of the MINI, together with profes-

sional advice on using these items, are available from all MINI centers. Installation and operation of non-MINI approved accessories such as alarms, radios, amplifiers, radar detectors, wheels, suspension components, brake dust shields, telephones (including operation of any portable cellular phone from within the vehicle without using an externally mounted antenna) or transceiver equip- ment (e.g. CB, walkie-talkie, ham radio or similar) may cause extensive damage to the vehicle, compromise its safety, inter- fere with the vehicle(cid:213)s electrical system or affect the validity of the MINI Limited Warranty. See your MINI center for addi- tional information.

Maintenance, replacement, or repair of the emission control devices and

systems may be performed by any automo- tive repair establishment or individual using any certified automotive part.

The following only applies to vehicles owned and operated in the US.

REPORTING SAFETY DEFECTS If you believe that your vehicle has a defect which could cause a crash or could cause injury or death, you should immediately inform the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) in addition to notifying BMW of North America, LLC., P.O. Box 1227, Westwood, New Jersey 07675-1227, Telephone (201) 307-4000. If NHTSA receives similar complaints, it may open an investigation, and if it finds that a safety defect exists in a group of vehicles, it may order a recall and remedy campaign. However, NHTSA cannot become involved in individual problems between you, your dealer or BMW of North America, LLC. To contact NHTSA, you may either call the Auto Safety Hotline toll-free at 1-800-424-9393 (or 366-0123 in Washington, D.C. area) or write to: NHTSA, U.S. Department of Transportation, Washington, D.C. 20590. You can also obtain other information about motor vehicle safety from the Hotline.

INDICATOR AND WARNING LAMPS

Technology that monitors itself The system runs a check on the warning and indicator lamps marked by " " each time you switch on the ignition. They each light up once for different periods of time. If a malfunction should occur in one of these systems, the corresponding lamp does not go out after the engine is started or it lights up while the vehicle is moving. You will see how to react correctly to this below.

Brake warning lamp If the lamp comes on when the parking brake is not engaged:

Check the brake fluid level. Before driving further, be sure to comply with the infor- mation on pages 79, 57 and 92.

Brake warning lamp for Canadian models.

With navigation system option:

Coolant temperature warning lamp in the speedometer If the lamp comes on while oper-

ating the vehicle, the engine has over- heated. Switch off the engine immediately and allow to cool down, see also page 56.
