nance 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 manu-
facturer 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 acces-
sories, 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.<

> New Vehicle Limited Warranty
> Rust Perforation Limited Warranty
> Federal Emissions System Defect Warranty
5
Notes
Online Edition for Part no. 01402917368 - © 10/12 BMW AG
> 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 conditions and homologation requirements in your
country and continental region in order to
deliver the full driving pleasure while the vehicle
is operated under those conditions. If you wish
to operate your vehicle in another country or
region, you may be required to adapt your vehicle to meet different prevailing operating conditions and registration requirements. You should
also be aware of any applicable warranty limitations or exclusions for such country or region. In
such a case, please contact Customer Relations
for further information.
Maintenance
Maintain the vehicle regularly to sustain road
safety, operational reliability and the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
Specifications for required maintenance measures:
> 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 Warranty.
Data memory
A variety of electronic components in your vehicle include data storage devices, which store
technical information on the condition of your
vehicle, events and errors, either temporarily or
permanently. In general, this technical information documents the condition of a component, a
module, a system or the surroundings:
> Operating conditions of system compo-
nents, e.g., fill levels.
> Status messages regarding the vehicle and
of its individual components, such as wheel
rpm/vehicle speed, response delay, lateral
acceleration.
> Malfunctions and defects in the major sys-
tem components, such as the lights and
brakes.
> Responses of the vehicle in special driving
situations, such as the deployment of an airbag, the utilization of stability control systems.
> Environmental conditions, such as tempera-
ture.
These data are exclusively of a technical nature
and are used for the detection and correction of
errors, as well as the optimization of vehicle
functions. Motion profiles of traveled routes can
not be deduced from these data. If services are
required, such as repair services, service processes, warranty claims and quality assurance,
then this technical information can be read out
by employees of service departments, including
the manufacturer, from the event and error data
storage devices by using special diagnostic
equipment. There, if necessary, you will receive
further information. After remedying an error,
the information in the error memory is deleted
or progressively overwritten.
When using the vehicle, situations are conceivable in which this technical data, in conjunction
with other information, such as accident reports,
vehicle damage, witness statements, etc. - possibly with the assistance of an expert - could be
traced to particular individuals. Additional functions that are agreed upon contractually with
the customer, such as vehicle tracking in case of
emergency, permit the transmission of certain
vehicle data from the vehicle.

Event data recorder EDR
This vehicle is equipped with an event data
recorder EDR. The main purpose of an EDR is to
record, in certain crash or crash-like situations
such as an air bag deployment or collision with a
road obstacle, data that will assist in understanding 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 data
such 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.
These data can help provide a better understanding 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
recorded by the EDR under normal driving conditions and no personal data, e.g., name, gender, age, and crash location, are recorded.
However, other parties, such as law enforcement, could combine the EDR data with the type
of personally identifying data routinely acquired
during a crash investigation.
Reading the data recorded by an EDR requires
special equipment and access to the vehicle or
the EDR. In addition to the vehicle manufacturer, other parties that have the special equipment such as law enforcement, can read the
information if they have access to the vehicle or
the EDR.
Reporting safety defects
For US customers
The following applies only to vehicles owned
and operated in the US.
If you believe that your vehicle has a defect that
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.safercar.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.safercar.gov
For Canadian customers
Canadian customers who wish to report a
safety-related defect to Transport Canada,
Defect Investigations and Recalls, may telephone the toll-free hotline 1-800-333-0510.

Notes
> Keep the doors, windows and glass roof
closed to prevent interference from outside
noise.
> Avoid ambient noise in the vehicle while
speaking.
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

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.
Keys/remote controls
Buttons on the remote control
1 Opening the tailgate
2 Unlocking
3 Locking
In addition, information about service requirements is stored in the remote control, refer to
Service data in the remote control, page 218.

Your MINI dealer can supply new remote controls as additional units or as replacements in the
event of loss.
Integrated key

The integrated key fits the following locks:
> Driver's door, page 29
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 35.
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 26.
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.
Individual settings are stored for a maximum of
three remote controls.
