For Your Own Safety
Manufacturer
The manufacturer of this MINI is Bayeri-
sche Motoren Werke Aktionengesellschaft,
BMW AG.
Intended use
Heed the following when using the vehicle:
–Owner's Manual.
–Information on the vehicle. Do not re-
move stickers.
–Technical vehicle data.
–The traffic, speed, and safety laws where
the vehicle is driven.

Warranty
Your vehicle is technically configured for
the operating conditions and registration
requirements applying in the country of
first delivery, also known as homologation.
If your vehicle is to be operated in a differ-
ent country it might be necessary to adapt
your vehicle to potentially differing operat-
ing conditions and registration require-
ments. If your vehicle does not comply with
the homologation requirements in a certain
country you may not be able to lodge war-
ranty claims for your vehicle there. Further
information on warranty is available from a
service center.
Maintenance and repairs
Advanced technology, for instance the use
of modern materials and high-performance
electronics, requires suitable maintenance
and repair work.
The manufacturer of your vehicle recom-
mends that you entrust corresponding pro-
cedures to a MINI dealer’s service center. If
you choose to use another service facility,
the manufacturer of your vehicle recom-
mends use of a facility that performs work,
e.g., maintenance and repair, according to
MINI specifications with properly trained
personnel, referred to in the Owner's
Manual as "another qualified service center
or repair shop".
If work is performed improperly, for in-
stance maintenance and repair, there is a
risk of subsequent damage and related
safety risks.
Improperly performed work on the vehicle
paint can lead to a failure or malfunction of
components, e.g., the radar sensors, and
thereby result in a safety risk.
Parts and accessories
The manufacturer of your vehicle recom-
mends the use of parts and accessory prod-
ucts approved by the manufacturer of the
MINI.
Approved parts and accessories, and advice
on their use and installation are available
from a MINI dealer's service center.
MINI parts and accessories were tested by
the manufacturer of the MINI for their
safety and suitability in MINI vehicles.
The manufacturer of your vehicle warrants
genuine MINI parts and accessories.
The manufacturer of your vehicle does not
evaluate whether each individual product

NOTES Information

from another manufacturer can be used
with MINI vehicles without presenting a
safety hazard, even if a country-specific of-
ficial approval was issued. The manufac-
turer of your vehicle does not evaluate
whether these products are suitable for
MINI vehicles under all usage conditions.
California Proposition 65 Warning
For vehicles sold in California, the law re-
quires vehicle manufacturers to provide the
following warning:
Warning
Engine exhaust and a wide variety of Au-
tomobile components and parts, including
components found in the interior furnish-
ings in a vehicle, contain or emit chemi-
cals known to the State of California to

ratory animals. Always protect your skin
by washing thoroughly with soap and wa-
ter. For more information go to

hicle.
Warning

passenger vehicle or off-highway motor
vehicle can expose you to chemicals in-
cluding engine exhaust, carbon monoxide,
phthalates, and lead, which are known to
the State of California to cause cancer and
birth defects or other reproductive harm.
To minimize exposure, avoid breathing ex-
haust, do not idle the engine except as

ments in your country and continental re-
gion in order to deliver the full driving

Data memory
General information
Electronic control devices are installed in
the vehicle. Electronic control units process
data they receive from vehicle sensors, self-
generate or exchange with each other. Some
control units are necessary for the vehicle
to function safely or provide assistance dur-
ing driving, for instance driver assistance
systems. Furthermore, control units facili-
tate comfort or infotainment functions.
Information about stored or exchanged data
can be requested from the manufacturer of
the vehicle, in a separate booklet, for exam-
ple.
Personal reference
Each vehicle is marked with a unique vehi-
cle identification number. Depending on the
country, the vehicle owner can be identified
with the vehicle identification number, li-
cense plate and corresponding authorities.
In addition, there are other options to track
data collected in the vehicle to the driver or
vehicle owner, for instance via utilized
services.
Operating data in the vehicle
Control units process data to operate the ve-
hicle.
For example, this includes:
–Status messages for the vehicle and its
individual components, e.g., wheel rota-
tional speed, wheel speed, deceleration,
transverse acceleration, engaged safety
belt indicator.
–Ambient conditions, e.g., temperature,
rain sensor signals.
The processed data is only processed in the
vehicle itself and generally volatile. The
data is not stored beyond the operating pe-
riod.
Electronic components, e.g. control units
and ignition keys, contain components for
storing technical information. Information
about the vehicle condition, component us-
age, maintenance requirements events or
faults can be stored temporarily or perma-
nently.
This information generally records the state
of a component, a module, a system, or the
environment, for instance:
–Operating states of system components,
for instance, fill levels, tire inflation
pressure, battery status.
–Malfunctions and faults in important
system components, for instance lights
and brakes.
