For your safety

Maintenance and repair

Advanced technology, e.g. the use of

modern materials and high-performance electronics, requires specially adapted maintenance and repair methods. Therefore, have the necessary work on your MINI only carried out by a MINI dealer or a workshop that has specially trained personnel working in accordance with the specifications of the MINI manufacturer. If this work is not carried out properly, there is a danger of subsequent damage and related safety hazards.<

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 simultaneously acquire the assurance that they have been thoroughly tested by the manufacturer of the MINI to ensure optimum performance when installed on your vehicle.

The manufacturer of the MINI warrants these parts to be free from defects in material and workmanship.

The manufacturer of the MINI will not accept any liability for damage resulting from installation of parts and accessories not approved by the manufacturer of the MINI.

The manufacturer of the MINI cannot test every product made by other manufacturers to verify if it can be used on a MINI safely and without risk to either the vehicle, its operation, or its occupants.

Original MINI Parts, MINI Accessories and other products approved by the manufacturer of the MINI, together with professional advice on using these items, are available from all MINI dealers.

Installation and operation of accessories that have not been approved by the manufacturer of your MINI, such as alarms, radios, amplifiers, radar detectors, wheels, suspension components, brake dust shields, telephones, including operation of any mobile phone from within the vehicle without using an externally mounted antenna, or transceiver equipment, for instance, CBs, walkie-talkies, ham radios or similar accessories, may cause extensive damage to the vehicle, compromise its safety, interfere with the vehicle's electrical sys te m o r a ff ec t t he va lidi ty of the MINI Limited Warranty. See your MINI dealer for additional information.<

Maintenance, replacement, or repair of

the emission control devices and systems may be performed by any automotive repair establishment or individual using any certified automotive part.<

California Proposition 65 warning

California law requires us to issue the following 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 fluids contained in vehicles and certain products 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 accessories contain lead and lead compounds. Wash your hands after handling.

Used engine oil contains chemicals that have caused cancer in laboratory animals. Always protect your skin by washing thoroughly with soap and water.<

The concept

Indicator and warning lamps can light up in various combinations and colors in indicator area 1 or 2.

Some lamps will be tested for proper functioning when the engine is started or the ignition is switched on and will therefore light up briefly.

You can call up more information, e.g. on the cause of a malfunction and on how to respond, via Check Control, page 65.

In urgent cases, this information will be shown as soon as the corresponding lamp lights up.

Vehicle equipment

In this chapter, all production, country, and optional equipment that is offered in the model range is described. Equipment is also described that is not available because of, for example, selected options or country version. This also applies to safety related functions and systems.

The concept

The following section provides an introduction to basic menu navigation. The control of the individual functions is described in connection with the relevant equipment.

Make entries only when traffic and road conditions permit; otherwise, you may

endanger vehicle occupants and other road users by being distracted.<

Some list items, for example telephone book listings, can also be selected using the voice activation system. In particular, say the list items exactly as they are displayed in the respective list.

Having the possible commands read aloud

Having the possible commands read aloud:

{Voice commands}

For example if you have selected "CD" the system will read aloud the possible commands for operating the CD player.

Calling up Help:

{Help}

Additional commands for Help:

> {Help with examples}: information about

the current operating options and the most important commands for them are announced.

> {Help with voice activation}: information

regarding the principles behind the voice activation system is announced.

Carrying out functions through short commands

AT A GLANCE Voice activation system

Notes

For voice commands, bear in mind the following:

> Do not use the voice activation system to ini-

tiate an emergency call. In stressful situations, the voice and vocal pitch can change. This can unnecessarily delay the establishment of a telephone connection.

> Pronounce the commands and digits

smoothly and at normal volume, avoiding excessive emphases and pauses. The same applies to spelling when entering a destination for navigation.

> Always speak the commands in the lan-

guage of the voice activation system.

> When selecting a radio station, use the stan-

dard pronunciation of the station name.

{Select station} e.g. WPLJ

> Keep the doors, windows and glass roof

closed to prevent interference from outside noise.

> Avoid ambient noise in the vehicle while

speaking.

The integrated key fits the following locks:

Personal Profile

General information

Each remote control contains a rechargeable battery that is recharged when it is in the ignition lock while the car is being driven. You should therefore use each remote control at least twice a year to maintain the charge status. In vehicles equipped with Comfort Access, the remote control contains a replaceable battery, page 37.

If more than one remote control unit is used, the settings called up and implemented depend on which remote control is recognized when the car is unlocked, refer to Personal Profile, page 28.

The concept

The functions of your MINI can be set individually. By means of Personal Profiles, most of these settings are stored for the remote control currently in use. When you unlock the car, the remote control is recognized and the settings stored for it are called up and implemented.

This means that your settings will be activated for you, even if in the meantime your car was used by someone else with another remote control and the corresponding settings.

At most three remote controls can be set for three different people. A prerequisite is that each person uses a separate remote control.
