The fast- est way to find detailed information on any specific subject is to turn to the compre- hensive index at the back of the manual. If you wish to gain an initial overview of your vehicle, you will find this in the first chap- ter. 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 vehi- cle. Additional sources of information You can find more information about the MINI, for example on its technology, on the Internet at www.MINI.com If you have any additional questions, your MINI Dealer 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 seri- ous damage to the vehicle. Indicates 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 infor- mation. * Indicates special equipment, country-spe- cific equipment and optional extras, as well as equipment and functions not yet avail- able at the time of printing. Vehicle Memory, refer to page 47. Identifies functions that can be spe- cifically adapted for a particular vehicle. These adjustments can be performed by your MINI Dealer. Your individual vehicle The manufacturer of your MINI is the Bay- erische Motoren Werke Aktiengesellschaft, 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 that the manufac- turer of your MINI makes available with a specific 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 man- ual's contents, the passages describing optional accessories and special equipment are marked with an asterisk *. If your MINI features equipment that is not described in this Owner's Manual – a car radio, for instance – we have enclosed addi- tional operating instructions. We ask you to read these manuals as well. NOTES Editorial notice The manufacturer pursues a policy of con- tinuous, ongoing development that is con- ceived to ensure that MINI vehicles con- tinue to embody the highest quality and safety standards combined with advanced, state-of-the-art technology. For this rea- son, the features described in this Owner's Manual could, in rare cases, differ from those in your vehicle. 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.< Maintenance and repair: Advanced technology, e.g. the use of modern materials and high-perfor- mance electronics, requires specially adapted maintenance and repair methods. Therefore, only have corresponding work on your MINI carried out by a MINI Dealer or a workshop that works according to MINI repair procedures with correspond- ingly trained personnel. If work is carried out improperly there is a danger of conse- quential damage and the related safety risks.< For your own safety Fuels: 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 war- ranties with respect to defects in materials or workmanship. Field experience has indi- cated significant differences in fuel quality, i.e. volatility, composition, additives, etc., 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. California Proposition 65 warning: California laws require us to state the fol- lowing warning. Engine exhaust and a wide variety of automobile components and parts, including components found in the interior furnishings in a vehicle, contain or emit chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects and reproductive harm. In addition, certain flu- ids contained in vehicles and certain prod- ucts of component wear contain or emit chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. Battery posts, terminals and related acces- sories contain lead and lead compounds. Batteries also contain other chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer. Wash your hands after handling. Used engine oil contains chemicals that have caused cancer in laboratory animals. Always protect your skin by washing thor- oughly with soap and water.< NOTES Parts and accessories: 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 vehi- cle. 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 Dealers. 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, interfere with the vehicle's electrical system or affect the validity of the MINI Limited Warranty. See your MINI Dealer for additional infor- mation.< Maintenance, replacement, or repair of the emission control devices and systems must be performed by an autho- rized MINI Dealership or individual using certified MINI parts.< Symbol on vehicle parts Indicates that you should consult the relevant section of this Owner's Man- ual for information on a particular part or assembly. Service and warranty This manual is supplemented by a Service and Warranty Information Booklet for US models or a Warranty and Service Guide Booklet for Canadian models. We recommend that you read this publica- tion thoroughly. Your MINI is covered by the following war- ranties: >New Vehicle Limited Warranty >Rust Perforation Limited Warranty >Federal Emissions System Defect War- ranty >Federal Emissions Performance War- ranty >California Emission Control System Lim- ited Warranty. Detailed information about these warran- ties is listed in the Service and Warranty Information Booklet for US models or in the Warranty and Service Guide Booklet for Canadian models. NOTES Reporting safety defects The following only applies to vehicles owned and operated in the US. 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 noti- fying the MINI Division of BMW of North America, LLC, P.O. Box 1227, Westwood, New Jersey 07675-1227, telephone toll- free 1-866-275-6464. 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 Washing- ton, D.C. area, or write to: NHTSA, U.S. Department of Transportation, Washington, D.C. 20590.
