Changing wheels The pouch with the wheel changing kit is stored under the flat load floor. It includes: > Vehicle jack > Reversible ratchet > Wheel stud wrench > Extractor hook for wheel center cover > Chock
Preparing for a wheel change
Observe the safety precautions regarding flat tires on page 216.< 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. The jack base must be perpendicular to the surface beneath the jacking point.
2. Slide reversible ratchet onto the fixture on
the jack, arrow 1.
3. As you ratchet up the jack, place the jack
head onto the lifting point on the body, arrow 2. Jack the vehicle up until the wheel you are changing is raised off the ground.
4.
Mounting the wheel 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.

Disposal
After replacing old batteries, return the used batteries to your MINI dealer or to a
recycling center. Maintain the battery in an upright position for transport and storage. Always secure the battery against tipping over during transport.<
Power failure After a temporary power loss, some equipment may not be fully functional and may require ini- tialization. Individual settings are also lost and must be reprogrammed: > Time and date
These values must be updated, page 64.
> Radio
In some cases, stations may have to be stored again, page 137.
> Onboard monitor
Operability must be waited for, page 112.
> Glass sunroof, electric
It may only be possible to tilt the sunroof, if applicable. The system must be initialized. Contact your nearest MINI dealer.
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. Have fuses replaced by your MINI dealer.< A fuse allocation diagram is located on the inside of the fuse box cover panels.
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.
Vehicle battery
Maintenance The battery is 100% maintenance-free, 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 comfort functions are fully avail- able.
