Notes on the Owner's Manual
Online Edition for Part No. 01 41 0 156 724 - © 01/02 BMW AG
In compiling this Owner's Manual we have
made every effort to furnish you with a
convenient reference source affording
quick access to all the essentials. The
fastest way to find detailed information on
any specific subject is to turn to the
comprehensive 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 chapter.
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
vehicle.
If you have any additional questions, your
MINI center will be glad to advise you.
Symbols used

Your individual vehicle
The manufacturer of your MINI is the
Bayerische 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 available with a
specific manufacturer model range.
We hope you will understand that equipment 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
manual's contents, the passages describing
optional accessories and special equipment
are marked with an asterisk

The manufacturer pursues a policy of
continuous, ongoing development that is
conceived to ensure that the MINI
continues to embody the highest quality
and safety standards combined with
advanced, state-of-the-art technology. For
this reason, it is possible that the features
described in this Owner's Manual could
differ from those on your vehicle. Nor can
errors and omissions be entirely ruled out.
You are therefore asked to appreciate that
no legal claims can be entertained on the
basis of the data, illustrations or descriptions in this Owner's Manual.

For your own safety
Online Edition for Part No. 01 41 0 156 724 - © 01/02 BMW AG
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
warranties with respect to defects in materials or workmanship. Field experience has
indicated significant differences in fuel
quality (volatility, composition, additives,
others) 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.
Should you encounter driveability problems 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 recommendations may result in unscheduled maintenance.
Obey pertinent safety rules when you are
handling gasoline.<
Important safety information.
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 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 operation, or its occupants.
Original MINI Parts, MINI Accessories and
other products approved by the manufacturer of the MINI, together with profes-
sional advice on using these items, are
available from all MINI centers.
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 equipment (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 center 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.

P.O. Box 1227, Westwood, New Jersey 07675-1227, Telephone (201) 307-4000.
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 Washington, D.C.

Technology
that monitors itself
The system runs a check on the warning
and indicator lamps marked by "●" each
time you switch on the ignition. They each
light up once for different periods of time.
If a malfunction should occur in one of
these systems, the corresponding lamp
does not go out after the engine is started
or it lights up while the vehicle is moving.
You will see how to react correctly to this
below.
Red: stop immediately
Battery charge current
The battery is no longer being
charged. Indicates a defective alternator drive belt or a problem with the
charge circuit. Please contact the nearest
MINI center.
If this lamp lights up, the power-assist for
steering can be deactivated.
If the drive belt is defective, do not
continue driving. The engine could be
damaged due to overheating. When the
power-assist is deactivated, increased
steering effort is required.
Engine oil pressure
Stop immediately. Switch off
engine. Check the engine oil and
top up as required. Please contact the
nearest MINI center.

CENTRAL LOCKING SYSTEM OPENING AND CLOSING – FROM OUTSIDE
Online Edition for Part No. 01 41 0 156 724 - © 01/02 BMW AG
The concept
The central locking system is ready for
operation whenever the driver's door is
closed. The doors, the tailgate and the fuel
filler door are unlocked or locked.
The central locking system can be operated:
>
From outside via the remote control as
well as via the door lock
>
From inside by pressing a button.
If operated from outside, the anti-theft
system is activated at the same time. This
prevents the doors from being unlocked via
safety lock buttons or door handles.
In the event of an accident, the central
locking system unlocks automatically. The
hazard warning system and interior lamps
are also switched on.
Via remote control
The remote control gives you an exceptionally convenient method for unlocking and
locking your vehicle. It also offers another
function:
To open the tailgate, refer to page 24.
The tailgate will open slightly, regardless of
whether it was locked or unlocked.
Whenever you unlock (lock) the vehicle,
you simultaneously deactivate (activate)
the anti-theft system, and switch the interior lamps on (off).
If the vehicle has been properly locked
using the remote control, the hazard
warning system lights up once.
When the vehicle is unlocked, the hazard
warning system does not react.
Children might be able to lock the
doors from the inside. Always take
the vehicle keys with you so that the
vehicle can be opened again from the
outside at any time.
<
