M I NI Service

MINI recom me n d s you have your mainte na n ce and repair

work performe d by an author iz e d MINI dealer.

M aintaining Your MINI Vehicle

A well-ma in tai n e d vehicle will help safegua rd its operati o n al perform an ce , road-saf e ty and its reliability. This is why it is

importan t to follow and perform MINI’s recom m en d e d periodi c vehicle inspe ct i o n s and mainte na n ce service tasks

as indicate d by your vehicle’ s Mainten a n ce Service Display, along with the other mainten a n ce work descri b e d in this

booklet .

Damage, including consequ en ti al damage, which

results from lack of or improp e r

mainten a n ce is not covered under the MINI New Passen g er Car Limited Warranty.

M aintenance Intervals

Mainte na n ce interval s on motor vehicles were convent i on al ly

based solely on a fixed time period or a specifie d amoun t of accum ul a te d driving mileage.

However, operatio n al and driving conditi o n s have a major

influen ce on your vehicle’s routine mainten a n ce require m e nts; the distan ce traveled is only one of these

significa nt factors . A vehicle used for short trips in the city with numero u s cold starts , prolonge d period s of idling, stop-a n d -

go driving, and high engine speeds during accele rat io n may require more frequen t mainten a n ce interval s than a vehicle

that is driven long distan ce s at moderate engine speeds.

Your MINI vehicle uses sensors and algorith m s togethe r with

the elapse d time and the driving distan ce / p ro fil e to monitor

and evaluate your vehicle’ s mainten a n ce service needs. This informa ti o n is then used to adapt dyna mi ca ll y the param ete rs

used to forecast the appli ca b l e mainte na n ce service task interval s.

The MINI Maintenance System

All MINI vehicles are equipp e d with an integrate d MINI

Mainte na n ce System . This mainten a n ce “remin de r” system helps ensure that the vehicle

inspe cti o n s and mainten a n ce service tasks are perfo r m e d

at the foreca ste d interval s that apply to your vehicle.

The MINI Mainten a n ce System display provide s the vehicle

operator acce ss to the curren t status informa ti o n for the following mainten a n ce service tasks:

Engine oil (date and miles)

Vehicle check (date and miles)

Front brake pads (miles)

Rear brake pads (miles)

Brake fluid (date)

For each specific maintena n ce service task, either the future date (month/ye a r), remaining miles or both are provided as

noted above. The system monitors variable inputs to forecast the intervals and alert the driver when one or more specifi c

maintenan ce s tasks should be performe d .

Note: For certain vehicle s, the status of the front and rear brake

pads will only be observa b le in the mainten a n ce system’ s display when there are approxi m a tely 2,00 0 miles or less

remaini ng before a brake service will be require d to be performed.

For inform a ti on about the vehicle’ s mainte n an ce syste m

display s, please refer to the Mainten a n ce Service Display Overview sectio n beginni ng on page 3.

The following “comb in e with Engine oil” mainten a n ce service

tasks may be identif ie d as needing to be perform e d with a specifi c occurre n ce of the “Engine oil” service task (servi ce

counte r number):

Cabin Microfil te r( s )

Engine air filter(s)

Spark plugs

Althou g h these items do not appea r in the MINI Mainten a n ce

System’ s display in the vehicle, these service s should be performe d when your vehicle’ s engine oil is changed in

accord an ce with the interval identi fi e d by your vehicle’ s MINI Maintenan ce System.

For more inform a ti on on your vehicle’ s mainten a n ce service s

require m e nts, proce du re s and interval s , please refer the Mainte na n ce Service Summ ary sectio n beginni ng on page 5.

The MINI Mainten a n ce System also include s an option to

set service reminde rs for the following state-spe ci fi c

mandato ry vehicle inspecti on s, including:

Vehicle safety inspecti on ; and/or

Emissio n s test

The corresp o n di n g interval data for these inspe cti o n s can be

inputte d into the MINI Mainten a n ce System by a service

provide r; they are not determi ne d by the vehicle.

For your conveni en ce , you may also wish to have your

author i ze d MINI dealer perform the work necessa ry to fulfill

these state inspe cti o n require m e n ts in your area concu rre n t

with the mainte n an ce service s specifi e d above when

possible.

vehicle is contin ua ll y update d and stored in your key/rem ote
