Giving and receiving assistance
Vehicle equipment
In this chapter, all production, country, and
optional equipment that is offered in the model
range is described. Equipment is also described
that is not available because of, for example,
selected options or coun try version. This also
applies to safety relate d functions and systems.
Roadside Assistance
Roadside Assistance is available by phone
24 hours a day in many countries. You can
obtain assistance there in the event of a vehicle
breakdown.
First aid pouch
Some of the articles co ntained in the first aid
pouch have a limited service life. Therefore,
check the expiration dates of the contents regu-
larly and replace any item s in good time, if nec-
essary.
The first aid pouch is located on the rear cargo
well by the left side trim panel or under the pull-
out floor panel.
Warning triangle
In the cargo area under the loading sill.
To remove, open the two clasps.
Jump-starting
If the car's own battery is flat, your MINI's engine
can be started by connecting two jumper cables
to another vehicle's battery. You can also use
the same method to help start another vehicle.
Only use jumper cables with fully-insulated
clamp handles.
Do not touch any electrically live parts
wh en t he e ngine is run nin g, or a fatal acci-
dent may occur. Carefully adhere to the follow-
ing sequence, both to prevent damage to one or
both vehicles, and to guard against possible per-
sonal injuries. <
Preparation
1.Check whether the battery of the other vehi-
cle has a voltage of 12 volts and approxi-
mately the same capa citance in Ah. This
information can be found on the battery.
2. Switch off the engine of the support vehicle.
3. Switch off any consumers in both vehicles.
There must not be any contact between
the bodies of the two vehicles; otherwise,
there is a danger of shorting. <
