ADDENDUM TO OWNER'S MANUAL
Addendum
We wanted to provide you with some updates
and clarifications with respect to the printed
MINI Owner's Manual. These updates and clarifications will supersede the materials contained
in that document.
1. Where the terms “service center,” “the ser-
vice center,” “your service center,” “service
specialist,” or “service” are used in the Owner's Manual, we wanted to clarify that the
terms refer to a MINI dealer's service center
or another service center or repair shop that
employs trained personnel that can perform
maintenance and repair work on your vehicle in accordance with MINI specifications.
2. Where the text of the Owner's Manual con-
tains an affirmative instruction to contact a
“service center” or “your service center,” we
wanted to clarify that MINI recommends
that, if you are faced with one of the situations addressed by that text, you contact or
seek the assistance of a MINI dealer's service
center or another service center or repair
shop that employs trained personnel that
can perform maintenance and repair work
on your vehicle in accordance with MINI
specifications.
While MINI, at no cost to you, will pay for repairs required by the limited warranties provided with respect to your vehicle and for
maintenance under the Maintenance Program during the applicable warranty and
maintenance coverage periods, you are free
to elect, both during those periods and thereafter, to have maintenance and repair
work provided by other service centers or
repair shops.
3. Where the Owner's Manual makes reference
to parts and accessories having been approved by MINI, those references are intended
to reflect that those parts and accessories
are recommended by MINI. You may elect
to use other parts and accessories, but, if
you do, we recommend that you make sure
that any such parts and/or accessories are
appropriate for use on your vehicle.
4. At page 7, under the warranty section's dis-
cussion of homologation, where it states
that you “cannot lodge warranty claims for
your vehicle there,” the text should read
that you “may not be able to lodge warranty
claims for your vehicle there.”
5. At page 7, in the “Parts and Accessories”
section, the sentence beginning “For your
own safety, use … ,” should be disregarded
and the following the text should be read in
lieu thereof: “The manufacturer of your vehicle recommends using genuine MINI parts
and accessories.”
In the fifth sentence of that paragraph, the
word “cannot” should read “does not.”
6. At page 51, in the “Check and replace safety
belts” section, the text beginning, “This
should only be done by your service
center …” should be disregarded and the
following text should be read in lieu thereof:
“MINI recommends having this work performed by a service center as it is important
that this safety feature functions properly.”
7. At page 155 under the heading: “Objects in
the area around the pedals” and at page
217 under the heading: “Carpets and floor
mats,” the paragraph that begins: “Only use
floor mats …” should be disregarded and
the following language should be read in
lieu thereof: “The manufacturer of your vehicle recommends that you use floor mats
that have been identified by it as appropriate for use in your vehicle and that can be
properly fixed in place.”
8. At page 162, under the heading: “Have
maintenance carried out,” the sentence beginning, “Have the maintenance carried
out …” should be disregarded and the following text should be read in lieu thereof:
“MINI recommends that you have the maintenance carried out by your service center.”
Online Edition for Part no. 01 40 2 961 168 - II/15
Addendum
9. At page 174, under the heading “Pressure
specifications,” the sentence beginning,
“Pressure specifications apply to approved
tire sizes …” should be disregarded.
10. At page 181, under the heading: “Moun-
ting,” the paragraph beginning, “Have
mounting and balancing …” should be disregarded and the following text should be
read in lieu thereof: “BMW recommends that
you have mounting and balancing performed by your service center or a tire mounting specialist.”
11. At page 181, under the heading: “Approved
wheels and tires,” the term “Approved”
should be disregarded and in lieu thereof,
the term “Recommended” should be read in
its place. In addition, the text of that section
should be disregarded and the following
text should be read in lieu thereof:
The manufacturer of your vehicle strongly
suggests that you use wheels and tires that
have been recommended by the vehicle
manufacturer for your vehicle type; otherwise, for example, despite having the same
official size ratings, variations can lead to
body contact and with it, the risk of severe
accidents.
The manufacturer of your vehicle does not
evaluate non-recommended wheels and tires to determine if they are suitable for use
on your vehicle.
12. At page 186, under the heading: “Snow
Chains,” the paragraph beginning, “Only
certain fine-link snow chains …” should be
disregarded and the following text should
be read in lieu thereof:
Only certain types of fine-link snow chains
have been tested by the manufacturer of
your vehicle and are determined by the manufacturer of your vehicle to be road safe
and are recommended by the manufacturer
of your vehicle.
Information about recommended snow
chains is available from a service center.
13. At page 188, under the heading “Hood,” the
sentence beginning, “If you are unfamiliar”
should be disregarded.
14. At page 192, under the heading: “Engine oil
change,” the text should be disregarded and
in lieu thereof should be read as follows:
MINI recommends that you have the oil
changed at your MINI dealer's service center
or at another service center that has trained
personnel that can perform the work in accordance with MINI specifications.
15. At page 195, under the heading: “Service
and Warranty Information Booklet for US
Models and Warranty and Service Guide
Booklet for Canadian Models,” the second
paragraph should be disregarded and the
following text read in lieu thereof:
The manufacturer of your vehicle recommends that you have maintenance and repair performed by your MINI dealer's service
center or another service center or repair
shop that employs trained personnel that
can perform maintenance and repair work
on your vehicle in accordance with MINI
specifications. The manufacturer of your vehicle recommends that you maintain records of all maintenance and repair work
performed on your vehicle.
16. At page 207, under the “Battery replace-
ment” section, the text should be disregarded and in lieu thereof the following text
should be read:
Use of recommended vehicle batteries
The manufacturer of your vehicle recommends that you use vehicle batteries that it
has tested and recommends for use in your
vehicle; otherwise the vehicle could be damaged and systems or functions may not be
fully available.
After a battery replacement, the manufacturer of your vehicle recommends that you
have the battery registered on your vehicle
by a service center to ensure that all comfort
functions are fully available, and that any

“check control” messages of these comfort
functions are no longer displayed.

Status of the Owner's
Manual
Basic information
The manufacturer of your vehicle pursues a
policy of constant development that is con‐
ceived to ensure that our vehicles continue to
embody the highest quality and safety stan‐
dards. In rare cases, therefore, the features de‐
scribed in this Owner's Manual may differ from
those in your vehicle.

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 homologation. If your vehicle is to be operated
in a different country it might be necessary to
adapt your vehicle to potentially differing oper‐
ating conditions and permit requirements. If
your vehicle does not comply with the homolo‐
gation requirements in a certain country you
cannot lodge warranty claims for your vehicle
there. Further information can be obtained
from your Service Centre.
Maintenance and repairs
Advanced technology, e.g., the use of modern
materials and high-performance electronics,
requires suitable maintenance and repair work.
Therefore, have this work performed only by a
MINI service center or a workshop that works
according to the manufacturer's repair proce‐
dures for the MINI with respectively trained
personnel.
If work is not carried out properly, there is a
danger of subsequent damage and related
safety hazards.
Parts and Accessories
For your own safety, it is recommended that
you use genuine parts and accessories ap‐
proved by MINI. When you purchase accesso‐
ries tested and approved by MINI and Genuine
MINI Parts, you simultaneously acquire the as‐
surance that they have been thoroughly tested
by MINI to ensure optimum performance when
installed on your vehicle. MINI warrants these
parts to be free from defects in material and
workmanship. MINI will not accept any liability
for damage resulting from installation of parts
and accessories not approved by MINI. MINI
cannot test every product made by other man‐
ufacturers to verify if it can be used on a MINI
safely and without risk to either the vehicle, its
operation, or its occupants. Genuine MINI Parts,
MINI Accessories and other products approved
by MINI, together with professional 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 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 dam‐
age to the vehicle, compromise its safety, inter‐
fere with the vehicle's electrical system or af‐
fect the validity of the MINI Limited Warranty.
See your MINI center for additional informa‐
tion. Maintenance, replacement, or repair of
the emission control devices and systems may
be performed by any automotive repair estab‐

lishment or individual using any certified auto‐
motive part.
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.
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.
8
Online Edition for Part no. 01 40 2 961 168 - II/15
Notes
▷ 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 the service personnel, in‐
cluding the manufacturer, using special diag‐
nostic 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.
▷ 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.
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, gender,
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.

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:

Notes
The vehicle identification number can also be
found behind the windshield.
Reporting safety defects
For US customers
The following only applies to vehicles owned
and operated in the US.

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.

The concept
The onboard monitor combines the functions
of a multitude of switches. Thus, these func‐
tions can be operated from a central location.
Using the onboard monitor during a trip
To avoid becoming distracted and posing
an unnecessary hazard to your vehicle's occu‐
pants and to other traffic, never attempt to use
the controls or enter information unless traffic
and road conditions allow it.◀
