For your own safety
Warranty Your vehicle is technically configured for the
operating conditions and registration require‐
ments applying in the country of first delivery
— homologation. If your vehicle is to be oper‐
ated in a different country it might be neces‐
sary to adapt your vehicle to potentially differ‐
ing operating conditions and permit
requirements. If your vehicle does not comply
with the homologation requirements in a cer‐
tain country you cannot lodge warranty claims
for your vehicle there. Further information can
be obtained from your Service Centre.
Maintenance and repairs Advanced technology, e.g., the use of modern
materials and high-performance electronics,
requires suitable maintenance and repair
methods.
Therefore, have this work performed only by a
MINI service center or a workshop that works
according to MINI repair procedures with ap‐
propriately trained personnel.
If this work is not carried out properly, there is
the danger of subsequent damage and related
safety hazards.
Parts and accessories
For your own safety, use genuine parts and ac‐
cessories approved by the manufacturer of the
MINI. When you purchase accessories tested
and approved by the manufacturer of the MINI
and Original MINI Parts, you simultaneously ac‐
quire the assurance that they have been thor‐
oughly tested by the manufacturer of the MINI
to ensure optimum performance when instal‐
led on your vehicle. The manufacturer of the
MINI warrants these parts to be free from de‐
fects in material and workmanship. The manu‐
facturer of the MINI will not accept any liability
for damage resulting from installation of parts
and accessories not approved by the manufac‐turer of the MINI. The manufacturer of the MINI
cannot test every product made by other man‐
ufacturers to verify if it can be used on a MINI
safely and without risk to either the vehicle, its
operation, or its occupants. Original MINI Parts,
MINI Accessories and other products approved
by the manufacturer of the MINI, together with
professional advice on using these items, are
available from all MINI Dealers. Installation and
operation of non-MINI approved accessories
such as alarms, radios, amplifiers, radar detec‐
tors, wheels, suspension components, brake
dust shields, telephones, including operation of
any mobile phone from within the vehicle with‐
out using an externally mounted antenna, or
transceiver equipment, for instance, CBs,
walkie-talkies, ham radios or similar accesso‐
ries, may cause extensive damage to the vehi‐
cle, compromise its safety, interfere with the
vehicle's electrical system or affect the validity
of the MINI Limited Warranty. See your MINI
Dealer for additional information. Maintenance,
replacement, or repair of the emission control
devices and systems may be performed by any
automotive repair establishment or individual
using any certified automotive part.
