TheMINIMaintenance Program

The MINI Maintenance Program is a benefitdesigned to help reduce the cost of scheduledand unscheduled maintenance. The program hasbeen devised with the following objectives: tomaximize vehicle safety, reliability, and resalevalue by minimizing breakdowns resulting fromwear, and minimizing cost and inconvenience bycomputing maintenance intervals based uponthe specific manner in which each individualvehicle is driven.

MINI Cooper, MINI Cooper S and MINI JohnCooperWorks passenger cars purchased fromany authorized MINI dealer in the United Statesare covered by the MINI Maintenance Programfor 36 months or 36,000 miles, whichever occursfirst. Coverage begins on the date of first retailsale or the date the vehicle is first placed intoservice as a sales demonstrator, AftersalesMobility Program (AMP) Vehicle or companyvehicle, whichever is earlier.

Any authorized MINI dealer in the United Stateswill perform the scheduled or additionalmaintenance services on your vehicle at noexpense to you.

Coverage

The MINI Maintenance Program covers allfactory recommended maintenance, asdetermined by the Condition Based Service(CBS) system. Additional specific items thatneed replacement due to normal wear and tear,and that are not covered by the original MINI NewPassenger Car Limited Warranty - such as brakepads, brake rotors, and wiper blades - areincluded, provided wear and tear exceeds MINIspecifications. Any applicable adjustmentsrequired due to normal operating conditions arealso included. See pages 6 - 10 of this bookletfor additional information.

Exclusions from coverage include the following:� Items reimbursable under your MINI New

Passenger Car Limited Warranty

� Gasoline and gasoline additive� Windshield washer additive (except when in

conjunction with scheduled maintenance)� Tires, wheel alignment, tire balance and

rotation� Reset Run Flat Indicator� Wear and tear of soft trim items, such as:

seats, carpets, moldings, headliner, doorpanels and all chrome trim

� Damage which results from negligence,improper operation of the vehicle, wear andtear or deterioration due to driving habits orconditions, improper repair, environmentalinfluences, flood, accident or fire damage, roadsalt corrosion, alteration, installation ofnon-genuine MINI accessories, or use ofimproper, poor quality or contaminated fuel

� Altered or unreadable Vehicle IdentificationNumber (VIN) or odometer irregularities orvehicles where the true mileage cannot bedetermined

� Maintenance or repair after the vehicle isdeemed a total loss

� Maintenance or repairs performed by otherthan an authorized MINI dealer within theUnited States

� Vehicles used in competitive events� Oil changes performed outside the

recommended maintenance intervals asindicated by the CBS

Maintenance UpgradeOption

Please contact your authorized MINI dealer forinformation and availability on the optionalMaintenance Program Upgrade for coverage upto 6 years or 100,000 miles, whichever occursfirst.

Intervals

Time intervals should be followed using themaintenance interval as indicated by theCondition Based Service data.

Maintenance intervals on motor vehicles haveconventionally been specified based uponaccumulated mileage. However, drivingconditions have a major influence on routinemaintenance requirements; distance traveled isonly one of the significant factors. A vehicledriven for 50,000 miles of short trips in the citywith numerous cold starts, prolonged periods ofidling, stop-and-go driving, and high enginespeeds during acceleration requires morefrequent maintenance intervals than a vehicledriven for 50,000 miles for long distances at lowengine speeds primarily at operatingtemperature.

The advanced technologies at MINI have led tothe development of the Condition Based Service(CBS) system which computes the actualoptimummaintenance requirements based notonly upon the accumulated mileage, but takinginto account important factors such as high orlow engine speeds, short or long trip driving, andcondition of the engine oil and brake pads.

Condition Based Service (CBS)

CBS is a further development of the ServiceInterval Indicator System. Sensors andsophisticated algorithms take even more detailedaccount of the various conditions of vehicle use.

The remaining times for selected maintenancetasks as well as any legally prescribed dates aredisplayed to you individually:� Engine oil� Brakes - front and rear separately� Brake fluid� Vehicle check� Required State Inspection(s)

CBS thus determines the current and futuremaintenance requirements.

The vehicle’s current service status isautomatically saved in the remote control key.The MINI Service Advisor at your MINI dealer hasa device called a key reader. When your MINIService Advisor inserts your key into the keyreader, all pertinent vehicle and servicing data willbe available, and a customized maintenancechecklist is printed out based on the specificoperations called for by the Condition BasedService.

Have maintenance and repair work performed byyour MINI dealer. Make sure that themaintenance work is stamped in this Service andWarranty Information Statement. These entriesare the evidence of regular maintenance of yourvehicle and are a requirement for warrantyclaims.

Disconnecting the battery during periods oflong-term storage will interrupt the

calculation of time-based services. Have all itemsrequiring time-based maintenance, such asbrake fluid, and possibly also the engine oil andmicrofilter, brought up to date by your MINIdealer. Also see the section on battery care onpage 19 of this Booklet.

Special Note

The maintenance requirements for your vehicleare determined dynamically by the ConditionBased Service (CBS) system. The maintenanceitems stated herein reflect the latest informationavailable at the time of the printing of thisBooklet, and are subject to change. The mostcurrent maintenance recommendations areavailable from your authorized MINI dealer.

The performance of certain subsequentmaintenance items or services, as required bythe MINI New Passenger Car Limited Warranty,will be specified at intervals computed by theMINI Service Interval Indicator as follows:� Oil Service: Engine oil should be changed with

the engine at operating temperature.Note: Change oil at least once a year.

Your MINI is factory-filled with MINI HighPerformance Synthetic oils. We recommendMINI High Performance 5W-30 Synthetic Oil(MINI part number 07 51 0 143 829) for regularscheduled engine oil changes.

MINI recommends that you check your engine oillevel whenever you add fuel to your vehicle. If youneed to add oil between oil changes and MINIHigh Performance Synthetic Oil is unavailable,you may top up the oil level with one of thefollowing approved synthetic oils. For informationon checking your engine oil level, refer to yourvehicle’s Owner’s Manual.

The synthetic oils listed below meet MINIDivision of BMW of North America, LLC’sLong-life rating LL-01:� Castrol Syntec European Formula SAE 0W-30� Mobil 1 SAE 0W-40� Pennzoil Platinum European Formula Ultra

SAE 5W-30� Valvoline SynPower SAE 5W-30

The choice of the right SAE grade is based onthe climatic conditions in the region in which younormally drive your MINI. To best determinewhich SAE grade is best suited for your vehicle,contact an authorized MINI dealer.

If you are unable to obtain MINI HighPerformance Synthetic Oil or an approved

synthetic oil from the list above, use only asynthetic oil with an API rating of SM or higher.

The following maintenance services must beperformed at the mileage/time stated (timeintervals begin from the vehicle’s productiondate):� Brake Fluid Service: Change brake fluid every

two years, or when specified by CBS. Theventilation system microfilter is also changedat the same time.

� Oxygen Sensor Service: The oxygen sensordeteriorates strictly on a mileage basis andmust therefore be replaced at the followingintervals to maximize vehicle fuel economy andminimize exhaust pollution. Replace at120,000 miles (replace every 150,000 milesfor the Cooper, Cooper Convertible, CooperClubman and Cooper Countryman, if it iseligible for the California Emissions Warranty).

� Spark Plug Service (not shown in CBS):Replace at the following intervals:Cooper and Cooper S: 60,000 milesJohn CooperWorks: 30,000 miles

� The engine coolant has a long-term rating anddoes not need to be changed except forsystem repairs.

For your convenience, you may also wish to haveyour MINI dealer perform any necessaryoperations to fulfill any state inspectionrequirements in your area concurrent with themaintenance services specified above duringother repairs. Should you requestmorefrequentmaintenance service, the cost ofthese services will not be covered by theMINIMaintenance Program.

MINI has applied the most modern technologicaladvances not only to the design and productionof your vehicle, but also to computing of theoptimummaintenance interval for your type ofoperations and driving style. Your MINI dealer hasmade a substantial investment in unique MINIspecial service tools to enable its MINI factorytrained service technicians to perform qualityrepairs on your MINI in minimal time, to helpmaximize your satisfaction with your MINI, itslongevity, and resale value.

QualityCertification I

For a detailed list of items inspected, refer to theQuality Certification I form provided to the Ownerat time of delivery. A copy of the form is on file atthe selling MINI dealer.

Maintenance Summary

The CBS system will determine the requirementfor performance of the maintenance servicesdescribed on this and the following page. Theseservices may be required either individually or inconjunction with other maintenance services.

Depending on the vehicle’s use, CBS maycalculate service intervals which are differentfrom the guidelines listed.

Unscheduledmaintenance

Only use fuels advertised to have adequatedetergency and low alcohol content. Use of fuelswith insufficient detergent and/or excess alcoholcan cause driveability problems that necessitatecleaning intake valves and fuel injection valves,and, when applicable, adjusting the engine idle.We suggest having this work performed by yourauthorized MINI dealer, perhaps while regularmaintenance is performed. Your MINI dealer canalso recommend a gasoline additive that willprovide sufficient detergency. While thisrecommended unscheduled maintenance is notrequired in order to maintain the emissionwarranty, cleaning of intake valves or, whenapplicable, fuel injection valves, or adjustment ofengine idle, necessitated by use of inappropriatefuel, is not covered by warranty because nodefect in material or workmanship or componentfailure is involved.

Evidence ofmaintenancework

This MINI Service andWarranty InformationStatement should be presented to your MINIdealer when maintenance is required. Make surethat confirmation of maintenance work is alwaysentered in this Service andWarranty InformationStatement. You may need this for any warrantyclaims that become necessary, and later on asevidence that your car has been given the correctand regular maintenance that justifies its resaleor trade-in value.

BatteryCare

If your car is driven only for short distances ofless than 10 miles over a prolonged period oftime, without an occasional drive at highwayspeeds, the engine’s charging system will notmaintain the battery. Insufficient use of thevehicle could result in short-term startingproblems and in the long term could damage thebattery.

In case the car is not operated for more than fourweeks, it is advisable to:� consider using a proper trickle charger,

following the charger manufacturer’sinstructions, to maintain the battery’s state ofcharge; or

� consult your MINI dealer regarding batteryremoval. Once removed, the battery must becharged and stored in a cool, dry place whereit can be protected from freezing. If the batterywill be stored for over 3 months, it must berecharged every 3 months, or else it willbecome damaged and useless.

Please consult with your MINI dealer for furtherguidance and information.

Corrosion Protection

Extensive corrosion protection measures nowmake it possible to offer a 12-year unlimitedmileage anti-corrosion warranty against rustperforation on your vehicle provided that thevehicle is maintained in accordance with theprovisions of the MINI New Passenger CarLimited Warranty as outlined in the WarrantySection of this Booklet (page 28).

The major degree of corrosion protection is dueto the electrophoretic dip painting process whichcathodically deposits paint particles on all bodyparts, attracting paint particles into the minutestcavities or seams. Body parts are designed toprovide optimum corrosion protection.

During manufacture, exterior body parts receivean additional corrosion protection coat. Hood,trunk, doors and other body parts with metalfolds are coated with PVC and sealed from theoutside.

All floor panels receive a resilient coating of PVCfor maximum protection against damage due tostones, etc.

Corrosion protection materials tested over manyyears are applied to the surfaces of cavities andto the entire underside of the vehicle during andafter assembly.

For additional information on the 12-yearunlimited mileage anti-corrosion warranty, seethe Warranty Section of this Booklet (page 29).
