information for the following maintenance service
repair work performed by an authorized MINI dealer.
tasks:
MAINTAINING YOUR MINI VEHICLE
A well-maintained vehicle will help safeguard its
operational performance, road-safety and its
reliability. This is why it is important to follow and
perform MINI’s recommended periodic vehicle
inspections and maintenance service tasks as
indicated by your vehicle’s Maintenance Service
Display, along with the other maintenance work
described in this booklet.
Damage, including consequential damage,
which results from lack of or improper
maintenance is not covered under the MINI New
Passenger Car Limited Warranty.
MAINTENANCE INTERVALS
Maintenance intervals on motor vehicles were
conventionally based solely on a fixed time period or
a specified amount of accumulated driving mileage.
However, operational and driving conditions have a
major influence on your vehicle’s routine
maintenance requirements; the distance traveled is
only one of these significant factors. A vehicle used
for short trips in the city with numerous cold starts,
prolonged periods of idling, stop-and-go driving, and
high engine speeds during acceleration may require
more frequent maintenance intervals than a vehicle
that is driven long distances at moderate engine
speeds.
Your MINI vehicle uses sensors and algorithms
together with the elapsed time and the driving
distance/profile to monitor and evaluate your
vehicle’s maintenance service needs. This
information is then used to adapt dynamically the
parameters used to forecast the applicable
maintenance service task intervals.
THE MINI MAINTENANCE SYSTEM
All MINI vehicles are equipped with an integrated
MINI Maintenance System. This maintenance
“reminder” system helps ensure that the vehicle
inspections and maintenance service tasks are
performed at the forecasted intervals that apply to
your vehicle.
Engine oil (date and miles)
Vehicle check (date and miles)
Front brake pads (miles)
Rear brake pads (miles)
Brake fluid (date)
For each specific maintenance service task, either the
future date (month/year), 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 specific maintenances tasks
should be performed.
Note: The status of the front and rear brake pads will
only be observable in the maintenance system’s
display when there are approximately 2,000 miles or
less remaining before a brake service will be required
to be performed.
For information about the vehicle’s maintenance
system displays, please refer to the Maintenance
Service Display Overview section beginning on
page 3.
The following “combine with Engine oil” maintenance
service tasks may be identified as needing to be
performed with a specific occurrence of the “Engine
oil” service task (service counter number):
Cabin Microfilter(s)
Engine air filter(s)
Spark plugs
Although these items do not appear in the MINI
Maintenance System’s display in the vehicle, these
services should be performed when your vehicle’s
engine oil is changed in accordance with the interval
identified by your vehicle’s MINI Maintenance
System.
For more information on your vehicle’s maintenance
services requirements, procedures and intervals,
please refer the Maintenance Service Summary
section beginning on page 5.
