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.<
nents, 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 system or affect the validity 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.<
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 compo-

Indicator and warning lamps
The concept
Indicator and warning lamps can light up in various combinations and colors in indicator area 1 or 2.
Some lamps are checked for proper functioning and thus come on briefly when the engine is started or the ignition is switched on.
What to do in case of a malfunction
A list of all indicator and warning lamps, as well as notes on possible causes of malfunctions and on how to respond, can be found starting on page 144.

Remote control
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 27.
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 18.

Personal Profile
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.

Adjustments
Adjustments
Sitting safely
The ideal sitting position can make a vital contribution to relaxed, fatigue-free driving. In conjunction with the safety belts, the head restraints and the airbags, the seated position has a major influence on your safety in the event of an accident. To ensure that the safety systems operate with optimal efficiency, we strongly urge you to observe the instructions contained in the following section.
For additional information on transporting children safely, refer to page 36.
Airbags
Always maintain an adequate distance between yourself and the airbags. Always
grip the steering wheel on the rim, with your hands in the 3 o’clock and 9 o’clock positions, to minimize the risk of injury to the hands or arms in the event of the airbag being triggered off. No one and nothing should come between the airbags and the seat occupant.
Do not use the cover of the front airbag on the front passenger side as a storage area. Ensure that the front passenger is correctly seated, e.g. that no feet or legs are propped against the dashboard. Otherwise, leg injury could result if the front airbag suddenly deployed.
Make sure that passengers keep their heads away from the side airbag and do not lean against the cover of the head airbag, otherwise injuries can occur when the airbags are triggered.<
Even if you follow all the instructions, injuries resulting from contact with airbags cannot be fully excluded, depending on the circumstances. The ignition and inflation noise may provoke a mild hearing loss in extremely sensitive individuals. This effect is usually only temporary.
For airbag locations and additional information on airbags, refer to page 64.
Head restraint
A correctly adjusted head restraint reduces the risk of neck injury in the event of an accident.
Adjust the head restraint in such a way that its center is at approx. ear level. Oth-
erwise, there is an increased risk of injury in the event of an accident.<
Head restraints, refer to page 32.
Safety belt
Before every drive, make sure that all occupants wear their safety belts. Airbags complement the safety belt as an additional safety device, but they do not represent a substitute.
Number of safety belts
Never allow more than one person to wear a single safety belt. Never allow
infants or small children to ride in a passenger’s lap.
Make sure that the belt in the lap area sits low across the hips and does not press against the abdomen. The safety belt must not rest against the throat, run across sharp edges, pass over hard or fragile objects or be pinched. Fasten the safety belt so that it is pulled taut across the lap and shoulder, fitting the body snugly without any twists. Otherwise, the belt could slide over the hips in the event of a frontal collision and injure the abdomen. Avoid wearing bulky clothing and regularly pull the belt in the upper-body area taut; otherwise, its restraining effect could be impaired.<
Safety belts, refer to page 33.
Seats
Note before adjusting
Never attempt to adjust your seat while the vehicle is moving. The seat could
respond with unexpected movement, and the ensuing loss of vehicle control could lead to an
30

accident.
On the front passenger seat as well, do not incline the backrest too far to the rear while the vehicle is being driven; otherwise, there is a danger in the event of an accident of sliding under the safety belt, eliminating the protection normally provided by the belt.<
Comply with the instructions on head restraint height on page 32 and on damaged safety belts on page 33.
Seat adjustment, front
Observe the instructions on page 30 to ensure the best possible personal protec-
tion.<
Backrest

Lumbar support*
You can also adjust the contour of the backrest to obtain additional support in the lumbar region.
The upper hips and spinal column receive supplementary support to help you maintain a relaxed, upright sitting position.
Longitudinal direction
Pull the lever, arrow 1, and slide the seat into the desired position, arrows 2.
After releasing the lever, move the seat slightly forward or back so that it engages properly.
Height
Pull up or push down the lever repeatedly, arrows 1, until the desired height is reached.
Turn the wheel to increase or decrease the curvature.
Seat adjustment, rear
Do not adjust rear seats while the vehicle is moving; otherwise, passengers could be
injured.
Make sure that the locking devices of the rear seats engage properly. Otherwise the restraining effect of the safety belts during an accident could be reduced.<

Transporting children safely
Transporting children safely
The right place for children
Do not leave children unattended in the vehicle; otherwise, they could endanger
themselves and/or other persons by opening the doors, for example.<
Children should always sit in the rear
Accident research has shown that the safest place for children is on the rear seat.
Only transport children under the age of 13 or smaller than 5 ft/150 cm in the rear in a child restraint system suitable for their age,
weight and size. Otherwise, there is an increased risk of injury in the event of an accident.<
Children 13 years of age or older must be buckled in with a safety belt as soon as there no longer is any child restraint system that is appropriate for their age, size and weight.
Child restraint systems, installation
Before installing a child restraint system on the rear seats, move the seat as far back as possible.
After the child restraint system has been installed on the respective rear seat, move the backrest forward so that the it rests lightly against the child restraint system, refer to Rear seat backrests on page 88.
Observe the child restraint system manufacturer’s instructions when selecting,
installing and using child restraint systems. Otherwise, the protective effect may be diminished.<
On the front passenger seat
After installing a child restraint system on the front passenger seat, make sure that
the front, side, and knee airbags for the front passenger are deactivated; otherwise, there is an increased risk of injury if the airbags deploy.<
Exception for front passenger seat
Front passenger airbags
Should it be necessary to use a child restraint system on the front passenger
seat, the front and side airbags must be deactivated. Otherwise, there is an increased risk of injury to the child if the airbags deploy, even if the child is seated in a child restraint system.<
For more information on automatic deactivation of the front passenger airbags, refer to page 65.
Seat position
Before installing a child restraint system, move the front passenger seat as far back and up* as possible to obtain the best possible position for the belt. Do not change the seat position after this.
Child seat security
All rear safety belts and the safety belt for the front passenger can be prevented from being

To lock the safety belt
1.Secure the child restraint system with the belt.
2.Pull the belt strap all the way out.
3.Allow the belt strap to retract and pull it taut against the child restraint system.
The safety belt is locked.
To unlock the safety belt
1.Open the belt buckle.
2.Remove the child restraint system.
3.Allow the safety belt strap to retract all the way.
Child restraint system with tether strap
Use the tether strap anchors to secure child restraint systems only; otherwise, the
anchors could be damaged.<
There are two additional anchors for child restraint systems with tether straps, arrows.
LATCH child restraint fixing system
LATCH: Lower Anchors and Tethers for CHildren.
To install and use the LATCH child restraint system, follow the operating and safety
instructions provided by the manufacturer of the system; otherwise, the protective function of the seat may be compromised.<
Placement of the tether strap
Make sure the upper retaining strap does not run over sharp edges and is not
twisted as it passes to the top anchor. Otherwise, the strap will not properly secure the child restraint system in the event of an accident.<
Anchor points for LATCH anchors
Before installing the child seat, pull the belt out of the area for the child restraint fixing system.

Starting the engine
Do not allow the engine to run in enclosed areas; otherwise, inhalation of the noxious exhaust gases can lead to loss of consciousness and death. Exhaust gases contain carbon monoxide, an odorless and colorless, but highly toxic gas. Never leave an unattended vehicle with the engine running; otherwise, such a vehicle repre-
sents a potential safety hazard.
Before leaving the car while the engine is running, place the transmission in neutral or move the selector lever to position P and forcefully apply the parking brake to prevent the car from moving.<
Avoid frequent starting in quick succession or repeated start attempts in which
the engine does not start. Otherwise, the fuel is not burned or inadequately burned and there is a danger of overheating and damaging the catalytic converter.<
Do not let the engine warm up with the vehicle at a standstill. Move off immediately at a moderate engine speed.
