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 and MINI Cooper S passenger carspurchased from any authorized MINI dealer in theUnited States (including Puerto Rico) arecovered by the MINI Maintenance Program for36 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 BMWGroupcompany vehicle, whichever is earlier.

Any authorized MINI dealer in the United States(including Puerto Rico) will perform thescheduled and/or additional maintenanceservices on your vehicle at no expense to you solong as your vehicle qualifies for coverage underthe MINI Maintenance Program.

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 - 7 of this Booklet foradditional 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, including consequential, whichresults from negligence, improper operation ofthe vehicle, wear and tear or deterioration dueto driving habits or conditions, improper repair,environmental influences, flood, accident orfire damage, road salt corrosion, alteration,installation of non-genuine MINI accessories,or use of improper, poor quality orcontaminated 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

� “Topping off” low fluids (e.g., engine oil,antifreeze, washer fluid, etc.) except whendone in conjunction with a scheduledmaintenance or other required maintenancework (as outlined in the customizedmaintenance checklist printout) that isperformed during an applicable MaintenanceProgram period

� 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 regarding the purchase of optionalMaintenance Program Upgrades. Eligibility andcoverage exclusions may apply.

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.

Condition Based Service (CBS)

CBS is a further development of the ServiceInterval Indicator System.

The remaining times for selected maintenancetasks as well as any legally prescribed dates aredisplayed to you individually:� Engine oil� 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 authorized MINIdealer has a device called a key reader. Whenyour MINI Service Advisor inserts your key intothe key reader, all pertinent vehicle and servicingdata will be available, and a customizedmaintenance checklist is printed out based onthe specific operations called for by theCondition Based Service.

MINI recommends that you have maintenanceand repair work performed by your authorizedMINI dealer.

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

calculation of time-based services. MINIrecommends that you have all items requiringtime-based maintenance, such as brake fluid,and possibly also the engine oil and microfilter,brought up to date by your authorized MINIdealer. Also see the section on battery care onpage 8 of this Booklet.

MINI recommends that you check your engine oillevel whenever you add fuel to your vehicle. Forinformation on checking your engine oil level,refer to your vehicle’s Owner’s Manual.

If you need to add oil between oil changes andMINI High Performance Synthetic Oil isunavailable, for the purpose of topping up theengine oil level only, MINI recommends use ofone of the below-listed synthetic oils that meetMINI USA, a Division of BMW of North America,LLC’s Long-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 a recommendedsynthetic oil from the list above, for the purposeof topping up the engine oil level only, use only asynthetic oil with an API rating of SM or higher.The following maintenance services:– Brake Fluid Service;– Intake Air Cleaner Service;– Oxygen Sensor Service;– Spark Plug Service;– Ventilation Microfilter Service,

must be performed when required as indicatedby the following as applicable:� The specified CBS engine oil service counter

interval� The time interval (the first occurrence based

on the vehicle’s production date)� The stated mileage for a “non-connected”

maintenance service

Refer to pages 6 - 7 for additional information.

Additionally,– The engine coolant has a long-term rating anddoes not need to be changed except for systemrepairs.

For your convenience, you may also wish to haveyour authorized MINI dealer perform anynecessary operations to fulfill any stateinspection requirements in your area concurrentwith the maintenance services specified aboveduring other 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 authorizedMINI dealer has made a substantial investment inunique MINI special service tools to enable itsMINI factory trained service technicians toperform quality repairs on your MINI in minimaltime to help maximize your satisfaction with yourMINI, its longevity, 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 authorized MINI dealer.

Fuel Quality – Gasoline

Only use fuels advertised to have adequatedetergency and low alcohol (such as ethanol)content. Please refer to your Owner’s Manual forimportant information on the fuel recommendedfor use in your vehicle. Use of fuels withinsufficient detergent and/or excess alcohol cancause 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 authorized MINIdealer can also recommend a gasoline additivethat will provide sufficient detergency. Thisrecommended unscheduled maintenance whichmay be necessitated by use of inappropriatefuels is not required in order to maintain theemission warranty. It also is not covered by yourvehicle’s warranty because no defect in materialor workmanship or component failure is involved.

Maintenance Service Summary

The Condition Based Service (CBS) system willdetermine the requirement for performing themaintenance services described in this section,ending on page 7. These services may berequired either individually or in conjunction withother maintenance services.

Maintenance services are performed as outlinedin this section, based on intervals of either time,mileage or after performing a specified numberof previous services. These intervals correspondto the latest information available when thisBooklet was printed. Maintenance intervals aresubject to change with newer vehicles or mayalso apply retroactively. Your authorized MINIdealer will be able to advise and performmaintenance services as required by the mostrecent information that applies to your vehicle.

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. Wesuggest having this work performed by yourauthorized MINI dealer, perhaps while regularmaintenance is performed. Your authorized MINIdealer can also recommend a gasoline additivethat will provide sufficient detergency.

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 authorized MINI dealer regardingbattery removal. Once removed, the batterymust be charged and stored in a cool, dryplace where it can be protected from freezing.If the battery will be stored for over 3 months, itmust be recharged every 3 months, or else itwill become damaged and useless.

Please consult with your authorized MINI dealerfor further guidance 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 properly maintained. Information onproper maintenance is available in this Bookletand your vehicle’s Owner’s Manual.

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 20).

Restoring Corrosion Protection

Please take care that anti-corrosion material isreplaced when your car is repaired after body orchassis damage.

MINI will not accept any liability for repair of,or damage caused by, any parts andaccessories not approved by theMINI USA, aDivision of BMWofNorth America, LLC.

UnderbodyMaintenance

The underbody has to be cleaned at least once ayear, in Spring, with plain water in order toremove mud, chemical sediments and otherdeposits. If those materials are not removed,corrosion (rust) will occur.

Your authorized MINI dealer can do thisanti-corrosion service for you.

Do not apply additional undercoating orrust-proofing on or near the exhaust

manifold, exhaust pipes, catalytic converter or heatshields. During driving, the substance used forundercoating could overheat and cause a fire.
