Own safety

Manufacturer

The manufacturer of this MINI is Bayerische Motoren Werke Aktionengesellschaft, BMW AG.

Warranty

Your vehicle is technically configured for the operating conditions and registration require‐ ments applying in the country of first delivery also known as homologation. If your vehicle is to be operated in a different country it might be necessary to adapt your vehicle to poten‐ tially differing operating conditions and permit requirements. If your vehicle does not comply with the homologation requirements in a cer‐ tain country you may not be able to lodge war‐ ranty claims for your vehicle there. Further in‐ formation on warranty is available from a dealer’s service center.

Maintenance and repairs

Advanced technology, e.g., the use of modern materials and high-performance electronics, requires suitable maintenance and repair work.

Online Edition for Part no. 01 40 2 964 625 - X/15

Information

The manufacturer of your vehicle recommends that you entrust corresponding procedures to a MINI dealer’s service center. If you choose to use another service facility, the manufacturer of your vehicle recommends use of a facility that performs work, e.g. maintenance and repair, according to MINI specifications with properly trained personnel, referred to in this Owner's Manual as "another qualified service center or repair shop".

If work is performed improperly, e.g. mainte‐ nance and repair, there is a risk of subsequent damage and related safety risks.

Parts and accessories

The manufacturer of your vehicle recommends the use of parts and accessory products ap‐ proved by the manufacturer of the MINI.

Approved parts and accessories, and advice on their use and installation are available from a MINI dealer's service center.

MINI parts and accessories were tested by the manufacturer of the MINI for their safety and suitability in MINI vehicles.

The manufacturer of your vehicle warrants gen‐ uine MINI parts and accessories.

The manufacturer of your vehicle does not evaluate whether each individual product from another manufacturer can be used with MINI vehicles without presenting a safety hazard, even if a country-specific official approval was issued. The manufacturer of your vehicle does not evaluate whether these products are suita‐ ble for MINI vehicles under all usage conditions.

California Proposition 65 Warning

California laws require us to state the following warning:

Engine exhaust and a wide variety of automo‐ bile components and parts, including compo‐ nents found in the interior furnishings in a vehi‐ cle, contain or emit chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth de‐ fects and reproductive harm. In addition, cer‐

tain 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 repro‐ ductive harm. Battery posts, terminals and re‐ lated accessories contain lead and lead com‐ pounds. 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.

Service and warranty

We recommend that you read this publication thoroughly. Your vehicle is covered by the fol‐ lowing warranties:

▷ New Vehicle Limited Warranty.

▷ Rust Perforation Limited Warranty.

▷ Federal Emissions System Defect Warranty.

▷ Federal Emissions Performance Warranty.

▷ California Emission Control System Limited

Warranty.

Detailed information about these warranties is listed in the Service and Warranty Information Booklet for US models or in the Warranty and Service Guide Booklet for Canadian models.

Your vehicle has been specifically adapted and designed to meet the particular operating con‐ ditions and homologation requirements in your country and continental region in order to de‐ liver the full driving pleasure while the vehicle is operated under those conditions. If you wish to operate your vehicle in another country or re‐ gion, you may be required to adapt your vehi‐ cle to meet different prevailing operating con‐ ditions and homologation requirements. You should also be aware of any applicable war‐ ranty limitations or exclusions for such country or region. In such case, please contact Cus‐ tomer Relations for further information.

Online Edition for Part no. 01 40 2 964 625 - X/15

Information

Maintenance

Maintain the vehicle regularly to sustain the road safety, operational reliability and the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.

Specifications for required maintenance meas‐ ures:

▷ MINI Maintenance system

▷ Service and Warranty Information Booklet

for US models

▷ Warranty and Service Guide Booklet for

Canadian models

If the vehicle is not maintained according to these specifications, this could result in serious damage to the vehicle. Such damage is not covered by the MINI New Vehicle Limited War‐ ranty.

Data memory

Many electronic components on your vehicle are equipped with data memories that tempo‐ rarily or permanently store technical informa‐ tion about the condition of the vehicle, events and faults. This technical information generally records the state of a component, a module, a system or the environment:

▷ Operating mode of system components, fill

levels for instance.

▷ Status messages for the vehicle and from its

individual components, e.g., wheel rotation speed/vehicle speed, deceleration, trans‐ verse acceleration.

▷ Malfunctions and faults in important system

components, e.g., lights and brakes.

▷ Responses by the vehicle to special situa‐

tions such as airbag deployment or engag‐ ing the stability control system.

▷ Ambient conditions, such as temperature.

This data is purely technical in nature and is used to detect and correct faults and to opti‐ mize vehicle functions. Motion profiles over routes traveled cannot be created from this

data. When service offerings are used, e.g., re‐ pair services, service processes, warranty claims, quality assurance, this technical infor‐ mation can be read out from the event and fault memories by employees of a dealer’s service center or another qualified service cen‐ ter or repair shop, including the manufacturer, using special diagnostic tools. You can obtain further information there if you need it. After an error is corrected, the information in the fault memory is deleted or overwritten on a continuous basis.

With the vehicle in use there are situations where you can associate these technical data with individuals if combined with other infor‐ mation, e.g., an accident report, damage to the vehicle, eye witness accounts — possibly with the assistance of an expert.

Additional functions that are contractually agreed with the customer - such as vehicle emergency locating - you can transmit certain vehicle data from the vehicle.

Event Data Recorder EDR

This vehicle is equipped with an event data re‐ corder EDR. The main purpose of an EDR is to record, in certain crash or near crash-like situa‐ tions, such as an air bag deployment or hitting a road obstacle, data that will assist in under‐ standing how a vehicle’s systems performed. The EDR is designed to record data related to vehicle dynamics and safety systems for a short period of time, typically 30 seconds or less.

The EDR in this vehicle is designed to record such data as:

▷ How various systems in your vehicle were

operating.

▷ Whether or not the driver and passenger

safety belts were fastened.

▷ How far, if at all, the driver was depressing

the accelerator and/or brake pedal.

▷ How fast the vehicle was traveling.

Online Edition for Part no. 01 40 2 964 625 - X/15

Information

These data can help provide a better under‐ standing of the circumstances in which crashes and injuries occur.

EDR data are recorded by your vehicle only if a nontrivial crash situation occurs; no data are re‐ corded by the EDR under normal driving condi‐ tions and no personal data, e. g., name, gen‐ der, age, and crash location, are recorded.

However, other parties, such as law enforce‐ ment, could combine the EDR data with the type of personally identifying data routinely ac‐ quired during a crash investigation.

To read data recorded by an EDR, special equipment is required, and access to the vehi‐ cle or the EDR is needed. In addition to the ve‐ hicle manufacturer, other parties, such as law enforcement, that have the special equipment, can read the information if they have access to the vehicle or the EDR.

Vehicle identification number

Reporting safety defects

For US customers

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 notifying MINI of North America, LLC, P.O. Box 1227, Westwood, New Jersey 07675-1227, Telephone 1-800-831-1117.

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 MINI of North America, LLC.

To contact NHTSA, you may call the Vehicle Safety Hotline toll-free at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY: 1-800-424-9153); go to http://www.safe‐ rcar.gov; or write to: Administrator, NHTSA, 400 Seventh Street, SW., Washington, DC 20590. You can also obtain other information about motor vehicle safety from http://www.safe‐ rcar.gov

The vehicle identification number can be found in the engine compartment.

The vehicle identification number can also be found behind the windshield.
