Turn on compressor 2. Correct the tire inflation pressure to the specified value, refer to the tire inflation pressure table on page 88

5. Replace the tire as soon as possible.

The use of the MINI Mobility System may be ineffective with tire damage larger than approx. 1/6 in / 4 mm. Please contact the nearest MINI Dealer if the tire cannot be made drivable with the MINI Mobility System.<

Tire change set Your MINI is additionally equipped with a tire change set. This is located in the MINI COOPER in the cargo area under the floor mat. When changing a tire, always observe the safety measures on page 116, and follow the procedure described on page 119 ff.

In case of a flat tire the tire change set is not necessary due to the avail-

ability of the MINI Mobility System.<

123

BATTERY

Location in the MINI COOPER The battery is located in the engine com- partment. Exact location, refer to page 96.

Location in the MINI COOPER S The battery is located in the cargo area under the floor mat.

Battery care The battery is absolutely maintenance-free, that is, the original electrolyte will normally last for the service life of the battery under moderate climatic conditions.

For all questions regarding the bat- tery, please consult your MINI

Dealer.<

Charging the battery Only charge the battery in the vehicle via the terminals in the engine compartment with the engine switched off, refer to 'Jump-starting', page 126 ff.

Disposal

Return used batteries to a recycling point or your MINI Dealer. Maintain the battery in an upright position for trans- port and storage. Secure the battery to pre- vent it from tilting during transport.<

124

FUSES

Do not attempt to repair a blown fuse or replace it with a fuse of a different

color or Ampere rating. To do this could cause a fire in the vehicle resulting from a circuit overload.<

If a fuse blows a second time, have the cause of the damage rectified by

your MINI Dealer.<

A fuse allocation diagram is located on the inside of the fuse box cover panel. Plastic tweezers can be found in the fuse box in the vehicle interior, refer to next col- umn.

In the engine compartment In the MINI COOPER to the right of the bat- tery. In the MINI COOPER S to the right of the air filter box. Open the fuse box lid. To do so, press the clip fastener.

In the vehicle interior On the left side of the footwell in the side trim panel. Open the cover panel of the fuse box. To do so, press the fastener.

125

1. Check whether the battery of the sup- port vehicle has 12 Volts and approxi- mately the same capacity measured in Ah. These data are printed on the bat- tery

2. Switch off the engine of the support

vehicle

3. Switch off any electrical systems and

components in both vehicles.

Connect the jumper cables

Always adhere to this sequence when connecting the jumper cables; failure to observe this procedure can lead to spark- ing and pose an injury hazard.<

JUMP-STARTING

When your battery is discharged, you can use two jumper cables to start your MINI with power from the battery in a second vehicle. Correspondingly you can help start another vehicle. Only use jumper cables with fully insulated handles on the termi- nal clamps.

Preparing for jump-starting

Do not touch live wiring and cables on a running engine. There is a risk of fatal injury if you do this. Carefully observe the following instructions to avoid personal injury and/or damage to either vehicle or both vehicles. Make sure that there is no contact between the bodywork of the two vehicles to avoid a short circuit hazard.<

126

JUMP-STARTING

The illustration shows the auxiliary jump- starting terminal on the MINI COOPER S. In the MINI COOPER S, the auxiliary jump- starting terminal, arrow 1, acts as the posi- tive battery terminal, refer to view of engine compartment on page 97.

1. Remove the cover of the battery or open the cover of the auxiliary jump-starting terminal: >MINI COOPER:

Remove the battery cover. To do so, press the two clips simulta- neously.

>MINI COOPER S:

Open the cover of the auxiliary jump- starting terminal, arrow 1

2. Connect one terminal clamp of the

plus/+ jumper cable to the positive bat- tery terminal or to an auxiliary jump- starting terminal of the support vehicle

3. Connect the other terminal clamp of the plus/+ jumper cable to the positive bat- tery terminal or to an auxiliary jump- starting terminal of the vehicle to be started

Engine or body ground in your MINI: arrow 2. 4. Connect one terminal clamp of the

minus/– jumper cable to the negative battery terminal or to an engine or body ground of the support vehicle

5. Connect the second terminal clamp of the minus/– jumper cable to the nega- tive terminal of the battery or to the engine or body ground of the vehicle to be started.

Performing the jump-start 1. Start the engine of the support vehicle

and allow it to run at a fast idle speed for several minutes

2. Start the engine of the other vehicle in

the usual manner. If the first start attempt is not success- ful, wait a few minutes before another attempt in order to allow the discharged battery to recharge

3. Allow the engines of both vehicles to run

for several minutes

On the MINI: before disconnecting the jumper cables, switch on the lighting, the rear window defroster and the highest blower speed to prevent a voltage surge from the regulator to the electrical systems and components.< 4. Then disconnect the jumper cables in

the reverse order.

If necessary have the battery checked and completely charged at a MINI Dealer.

Do not use spray starter fluids to start the engine.<

127

Tow bars If the towing eyelets of the two vehicles are not directly opposite one another, please note: >Clearance and maneuvering capability

will be strictly limited in corners

>The inclination of the tow bar generates lateral force, critical above all if the road surface is slippery.

Do not tow a vehicle that is heavier than the towing vehicle; otherwise it

will no longer be possible to control the vehicle's response.<

TOWING

For towing, use either a tow bar or nylon ropes or straps that prevent sudden jerking movements.

Towing eyelet The screw-in towing eyelet is stored in the onboard tool kit; be sure that it remains in the vehicle at all times. It can be attached at the front or rear of the vehicle.

Access to tow sockets Use a suitable object, e.g. credit card, screwdriver, to press out the covers from the recess.

Use only the towing eyelet supplied with the vehicle and screw it in firmly

until it stops. Use the towing eyelet for towing on paved roads only. If you do not follow these instructions, the towing eyelet could detach itself from the vehicle or the vehicle could be damaged. Never attach tie-down hooks, chains, straps, or tow hooks to tie rods, control arms, or any other part of the vehicle suspension, as this could damage the components and possibly lead to accidents.<

Avoid staggered towing and make sure that the towing rope is taut before the vehicle that is towing drives off.<

128

Find some means of identifying the vehicle in tow, for instance, by turning on the haz- ard warning flashers.

Make sure that the ignition key remains in position 1 even when the electrical system has failed to prevent the steering lock from engaging. The steering and brakes are without power assist when the engine is off. This means that increased effort is required for steer- ing and braking.<

Towing with a commercial tow truck >Do not tow with sling-type equipment >Use a wheel-lift or flatbed carrier >Please comply with applicable towing

laws.

Never allow passengers to ride in a towed vehicle for any reason.<

TOWING

Tow-starting It is not possible to start the engine of a vehicle equipped with an automatic trans- mission by towing or pushing. For instructions on jump starting, refer to page 126. Never attempt to use your vehicle to push another car, since damage to the energy- absorbing bumpers could result.

Towing a vehicle

Only tow vehicles with Continuously Variable automatic Transmission

(CVT) with the front wheels raised or on a special transport vehicle, otherwise the transmission can be damaged.<

1. Place gear selector lever in neutral or idle 2. Towing speed:

Max. 45 mph / 70 km/h

3. Towing distance:

Max. 95 miles / 150 km

4. Leave the ignition key at position 1 to ensure that the brake lamps, turn sig- nals, horn and windshield wipers remain operative, and to prevent the steering lock detent from engaging

5. Switch on the hazard-warning system,

observe country-specific regulations.
