Vehicle equipment The manufacturer of your MINI is the Bayerische Motoren Werke Aktiengesellschaft, BMW AG. This Supplementary Owner's Handbook describes all series-specific equipment, country- specific equipment, and optional equipment that is offered for this model. For this reason, this Supplementary Owner's Handbook also describes and illustrates some equipment that may not be available in your vehicle, for exam- ple due to the special options or national-mar- ket version selected. This also applies to safety related functions and systems. If equipment and models are not described in this Supplementary Owner's Handbook, please consult the accompanying Owner's Manual.
Status of this Owner's Manual at time of printing The high level of safety and quality of the MINI vehicles is ensured through continuous develop- ment. In rare cases, therefore, the features described in this Supplementary Owner's Man- ual may differ from those in your vehicle.
Notes The MINI John Cooper Works GP is a two-seat compact vehicle. It combines lightweight con- struction, e.g. chassis/suspension components made of aluminum, with driving dynamics. The development of the vehicle was focused on agile driving characteristics and high driving stability. The add-on parts significantly limit ground clearance. When driving, make sure that
there is sufficient ground clearance, such as when entering underground parking garages, driving over curbs or when driving in winter; oth- erwise damage to the add-on parts may result.<

Sitting safely Contrary to the description in the Owner's Man- ual for the MINI, your MINI John Cooper Works GP has two seats.
Safety belts Your MINI John Cooper Works GP is equipped with safety belts for the driver and passenger. Also follow the instructions for using safety belts in the Owner's Manual for the MINI.
Transporting children safely Since there is no rear seat, please note the fol- lowing specifics about transporting children safely.
Also follow the general instructions for transporting children safely in the Owner's
Manual for the MINI.<
The right place for children
Note
Do not leave children unattended in the vehicle; otherwise, they could endanger
themselves and/or other persons by opening the doors, for example.<
Children in the front passenger seat Should it be necessary to use a child restraint system on the front passenger seat, make sure that the front and side airbags for the front pas- senger side are deactivated. For more information on automatic deactivation of the front passenger airbags, refer to the Owner's Manual for the MINI/MINI Clubman.
If a child restraint system is used on the front passenger seat, the front passenger airbags must be deactivated; otherwise, a child traveling in that seat faces an increased risk of
injury if the airbags are triggered, even with a child restraint system.<
Children 13 years of age or older must be buckled in with a safety belt as soon as
there no longer is any child restraint system that is appropriate for their age, size and weight.<
Child seat security
The safety belt for the passenger can be pre- vented from being pulled out in order to secure child restraint systems.
Child restraint system with tether strap Child restraint systems with upper retaining strap are attached to the anchor.
Placement of the tether strap
Make sure the upper retaining strap does not run over sharp edges and is not
twisted as it passes to the top anchor. Other- wise, the strap will not properly secure the child restraint system in the event of an accident.<

Technology for driving comfort and safety
GP Mode GP Mode is a race track-optimized mode of the Dynamic Stability Control DSC that permits greater longitudinal and lateral acceleration when driving on dry road surfaces, but with reduced driving stability. Only in the absolute limit range does the system take stabilizing action with brake interventions in the wheels.
It is activated and deactivated in analogous fashion to the Dynamic Traction Control DTC, refer to the Owner's Manual for the vehicle.
US English
Coil-over suspension Your MINI John Cooper Works GP has a coil-over suspension with a range of adjustment for vehi- cle height. The racing-oriented suspension design results in reduced suitability for everyday use such as sen- sitivity to lane grooves and increased accelera- tion inputs.
Street use setting
Do not change the coil position set for your MINI by the manufacturer; other-
wise, the vehicle height is not suitable for oper- ation on public roads.< The coil-over suspension has been optimally set for your MINI by the manufacturer. This setting corresponds to the approval requirements of your country. Always use these settings for oper- ation on public roads, refer to illustration.

Lamps
Parking lamps The MINI John Cooper Works GP does not have parking lamps in the front fog lamps. Instead, a substitute function is integrated into the turn signal lamps in the main headlamps. The vehicle cannot be illuminated on one side for parking.
Things to remember when driving
Brake system Your MINI John Cooper Works GP has a brake system that has been adapted to the increased driving dynamics of the vehicle. Because it is designed for high braking perfor- mance, stability, and controllability, the brake may generate noise during braking. However, this does not affect the brake's perfor- mance, safe operation or stability under load.
Cargo loading
Also follow the instructions for loading in the Owner's Manual for the MINI; other- wise, the operating safety of the vehicle is no longer assured and the vehicle will not be in compliance with the construction and use regu- lations.<
Storage compartments Two additional storage compartments are located under the front luggage area floor panel.
Releasing Turn the knob in the horizontal position, refer to arrow.
Locking Turn the knob in the vertical position.
Folding up the luggage compartment floor
Lift the luggage area floor panel, arrow 1, and slide it forward, arrow 2.
Stowing cargo
Position heavy cargo as low and as far for- ward as possible, ideally directly behind the cargo rod 1.

Wiper system
Window washer nozzles Contrary to the description in the Owner's Man- ual for the MINI, your MINI John Cooper Works GP does not have heated washer jets. Please note that the washer jets may ice up at very low temperatures.
Rear window wiper Contrary to the description in the Owner's Man- ual for the MINI, your MINI John Cooper Works GP does not have a rear wiper.
Entertainment
Setting tone controls One feature that differs from the description in the Owner's Manual for the MINI is that you have the following option for tone setting: Fader: depending on your vehicle's equipment, it is possible to adjust the volume distribution between the upper/lower speakers in the front doors.
US English
Engine compartment
Strut brace
Only have the strut brace removed by your MINI dealer.<
Power distribution box Contrary to the description in the Owner's Man- ual for the MINI, in your MINI John Cooper Works GP, the cover of the power distribution box can- not be removed without removing the strut brace. For this reason, have fuses replaced by your MINI dealer.
Fuel grade
Be sure to follow all instructions regarding fuel grade and refueling in the Owner's
Manual of the vehicle; failure to do so can result in permanent damage to the engine.<

Wheels and tires
Sport tires Your MINI John Cooper Works GP is equipped with sport tires. The dry grip has been increased significantly relative to conventional street tires. This results in the following limitations: Depending on your driving style, higher tire wear will result in shorter mileages before the minimum tread depth is reached.
Set the inflation pressure according to the pressure indications on the door pillar of the driver's door. If you fail to observe this pre- caution you may be driving on tires with incor- rect tire pressures, a condition that can not only compromise your vehicle's driving stability, but also lead to tire damage and the risk of an acci- dent.<
Tire inflation pressure
Because of the special tire tread, there is an increased risk of hydroplaning on wet
roads. When driving on wet or slushy roads, reduce road speed. If you do not, a wedge of water can form between tires and road surface. This state is also known as hydroplaning and can result in a loss of control over the vehicle and a loss of braking power. The tire grip decreases significantly at low out- side temperatures and tire operating tempera- tures, which my lead to loss of control of the vehicle. At outside temperatures of less than +457/+76, change to winter tires. Inform other people who use the vehicle in addition to you of these limitations.<

Roues et pneus
Pneus sport La MINI John Cooper Works GP est équipée de pneus sport. L'adhérence sur route sèche a été améliorée de façon significative par rapport à celle des pneus de route conventionnels. Cela entraîne les restrictions suivantes : Selon le style de conduite, une usure plus impor- tante des pneus entraînera un kilométrage plus faible avant que la profondeur minimale des sculptures ne soit atteinte.
Gonfler les pneus selon les indications de pression données sur le montant de porte
côté conducteur. Sans cette précaution, on risque de rouler sur des pneus mal gonflés, ce qui peut non seulement compromettre la stabi- lité routière du véhicule, mais aussi endom- mager les pneus et causer un accident.<
Pression de gonflage des pneus
En raison de la bande de roulement spé- ciale, le risque d'aquaplanage est plus élevé sur route mouillée. Quand la route est mouillée ou recouverte de neige fondante, ralentir, sinon une pellicule d'eau peut se former entre les pneus et la chaussée. Ce phénomène est appelé aquaplanage et peut entraîner une perte de contrôle du véhicule et de la puissance de freinage. L'adhérence des pneus diminue de façon signi- ficative lorsque la température extérieure est basse ou lorsque les pneus sont froids, ce qui peut entraîner une perte de contrôle du véhi- cule. Lorsque la température extérieure est infé- rieure à +76/+457, utiliser des pneus d'hiver. Informer les autres personnes susceptibles d'uti- liser le véhicule de ces restrictions.<

Vehicle equipment The manufacturer of your MINI is the Bayerische Motoren Werke Aktiengesellschaft, BMW AG. This Supplementary Owner's Handbook describes all series-specific equipment, country- specific equipment, and optional equipment that is offered for this model. For this reason, this Supplementary Owner's Handbook also describes and illustrates some equipment that may not be available in your vehicle, for exam- ple due to the special options or national-mar- ket version selected. This also applies to safety related functions and systems. If equipment and models are not described in this Supplementary Owner's Handbook, please consult the accompanying Owner's Manual.
Status of this Owner's Manual at time of printing The high level of safety and quality of the MINI vehicles is ensured through continuous develop- ment. In rare cases, therefore, the features described in this Supplementary Owner's Man- ual may differ from those in your vehicle.
Notes The MINI John Cooper Works GP is a two-seat compact vehicle. It combines lightweight con- struction, e.g. chassis/suspension components made of aluminum, with driving dynamics. The development of the vehicle was focused on agile driving characteristics and high driving stability. The add-on parts significantly limit ground clearance. When driving, make sure that
there is sufficient ground clearance, such as when entering underground parking garages, driving over curbs or when driving in winter; oth- erwise damage to the add-on parts may result.<

Safety belts Your MINI John Cooper Works GP is equipped with safety belts for the driver and passenger. Also follow the instructions for using safety belts in the Owner's Manual for the MINI.
Transporting children safely Since there is no rear seat, please note the fol- lowing specifics about transporting children safely.
Also follow the general instructions for transporting children safely in the Owner's
Manual for the MINI.<
The right place for children
Note
Do not leave children unattended in the vehicle; otherwise, they could endanger
themselves and/or other persons by opening the doors, for example.<
Children in the front passenger seat Should it be necessary to use a child restraint system on the front passenger seat, make sure that the front and side airbags for the front pas- senger side are deactivated. For more information on automatic deactivation of the front passenger airbags, refer to the Owner's Manual for the MINI/MINI Clubman.
If a child restraint system is used on the front passenger seat, the front passenger airbags must be deactivated; otherwise, a child traveling in that seat faces an increased risk of
injury if the airbags are triggered, even with a child restraint system.<
Children 13 years of age or older must be buckled in with a safety belt as soon as
there no longer is any child restraint system that is appropriate for their age, size and weight.<
Child seat security
The safety belt for the passenger can be pre- vented from being pulled out in order to secure child restraint systems.
Child restraint system with tether strap Child restraint systems with upper retaining strap are attached to the anchor.
Placement of the tether strap
Make sure the upper retaining strap does not run over sharp edges and is not
twisted as it passes to the top anchor. Other- wise, the strap will not properly secure the child restraint system in the event of an accident.<

Technology for driving comfort and safety
GP Mode GP Mode is a race track-optimized mode of the Dynamic Stability Control DSC that permits greater longitudinal and lateral acceleration when driving on dry road surfaces, but with reduced driving stability. Only in the absolute limit range does the system take stabilizing action with brake interventions in the wheels.
It is activated and deactivated in analogous fashion to the Dynamic Traction Control DTC, refer to the Owner's Manual for the vehicle.
US English
Coil-over suspension Your MINI John Cooper Works GP has a coil-over suspension with a range of adjustment for vehi- cle height. The racing-oriented suspension design results in reduced suitability for everyday use such as sen- sitivity to lane grooves and increased accelera- tion inputs.
Street use setting
Do not change the coil position set for your MINI by the manufacturer; other-
wise, the vehicle height is not suitable for oper- ation on public roads.< The coil-over suspension has been optimally set for your MINI by the manufacturer. This setting corresponds to the approval requirements of your country. Always use these settings for oper- ation on public roads, refer to illustration.

Lamps
Parking lamps The MINI John Cooper Works GP does not have parking lamps in the front fog lamps. Instead, a substitute function is integrated into the turn signal lamps in the main headlamps. The vehicle cannot be illuminated on one side for parking.
Things to remember when driving
Brake system Your MINI John Cooper Works GP has a brake system that has been adapted to the increased driving dynamics of the vehicle. Because it is designed for high braking perfor- mance, stability, and controllability, the brake may generate noise during braking. However, this does not affect the brake's perfor- mance, safe operation or stability under load.
Cargo loading
Also follow the instructions for loading in the Owner's Manual for the MINI; other- wise, the operating safety of the vehicle is no longer assured and the vehicle will not be in compliance with the construction and use regu- lations.<
Storage compartments Two additional storage compartments are located under the front luggage area floor panel.
Releasing Turn the knob in the horizontal position, refer to arrow.
Locking Turn the knob in the vertical position.
Folding up the luggage compartment floor
Lift the luggage area floor panel, arrow 1, and slide it forward, arrow 2.
Stowing cargo
Position heavy cargo as low and as far for- ward as possible, ideally directly behind the cargo rod 1.

Wheels and tires
Sport tires Your MINI John Cooper Works GP is equipped with sport tires. The dry grip has been increased significantly relative to conventional street tires. This results in the following limitations: Depending on your driving style, higher tire wear will result in shorter mileages before the minimum tread depth is reached.
Set the inflation pressure according to the pressure indications on the door pillar of the driver's door. If you fail to observe this pre- caution you may be driving on tires with incor- rect tire pressures, a condition that can not only compromise your vehicle's driving stability, but also lead to tire damage and the risk of an acci- dent.<
Tire inflation pressure
Because of the special tire tread, there is an increased risk of hydroplaning on wet
roads. When driving on wet or slushy roads, reduce road speed. If you do not, a wedge of water can form between tires and road surface. This state is also known as hydroplaning and can result in a loss of control over the vehicle and a loss of braking power. The tire grip decreases significantly at low out- side temperatures and tire operating tempera- tures, which my lead to loss of control of the vehicle. At outside temperatures of less than +457/+76, change to winter tires. Inform other people who use the vehicle in addition to you of these limitations.<
