Safety measures in the event of a flat tire:
Stop the vehicle as far as possible from passing traffic. Switch on the hazard warn- ing flashers. Turn the steering wheel to the straight- ahead wheel position and engage the steering lock. Engage the parking brake and shift into 1st or reverse gear – selector lever in P. All passengers should be outside the vehi- cle and well away from your immediate working area – behind a guardrail, for instance. If a portable hazard warning lamp is avail- able, set it up on the roadside at an appro- priate distance from the rear of the vehicle. Comply with all safety guidelines and regu- lations.<
In the event of a flat tire, different proce- dures should be followed depending on the equipment included in your MINI: >Vehicles with Run Flat tires, refer to
page 93
>Vehicles with a space-saver spare tire,
refer to the following section
>Vehicles with MINI Mobility System,
refer to page 121.

CHANGING TIRES: MINI WITH SPACE-SAVER SPARE TIRE*
Additional safety measures in the event of a wheel change:
Change the wheel only on a level, firm sur- face which is 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 capac- ity. Do not lie under the vehicle or start the engine when the vehicle is supported by the jack – risk of fatal injury.<
To change a space-saver tire, proceed as follows: >Remove space-saver spare tire, refer to
the section after the next one
>Prepare for tire change, refer to page 119

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.

>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.
