tenance carried out by your service center.”
9. At page 207, under the heading “Software

mended software; otherwise there may be
malfunctions in system operations.”

its place. In addition, the text of that section
should be disregarded and the following
text should be read in lieu thereof:
The manufacturer of your vehicle strongly
suggests that you use wheels and tires that
have been recommended by the vehicle
manufacturer for your vehicle type; other-
wise, for example, despite having the same
official size ratings, variations can lead to
body contact and with it, the risk of severe
accidents.
The manufacturer of your vehicle does not
evaluate non-recommended wheels and ti-
res to determine if they are suitable for use
on your vehicle.
12. At page 229, under the heading “Hood,” the
sentence beginning, “If you are unfamiliar”

The manufacturer of your vehicle recom-
mends that you have maintenance and re-
pair performed by your MINI dealer's service
center or another service center or repair
shop that employs trained personnel that
can perform maintenance and repair work
on your vehicle in accordance with MINI
specifications. The manufacturer of your ve-
hicle recommends that you maintain re-
cords of all maintenance and repair work
performed on your vehicle.
14. At page 243, under the “Battery replace-
ment” section, the text should be disregar-
ded and in lieu thereof the following text
should be read:
Use of recommended vehicle batteries
The manufacturer of your vehicle recom-
mends that you use vehicle batteries that it
has tested and recommends for use in your
vehicle; otherwise the vehicle could be da-
maged and systems or functions may not be
fully available.
After a battery replacement, the manufactu-
rer of your vehicle recommends that you
have the battery registered on your vehicle
by a service center to ensure that all comfort
functions are fully available, and that any
“check control” messages of these comfort
functions are no longer displayed.

Onboard monitorVehicle equipmentThis chapter describes all series equipment as
well as country-specific and special equipment
offered for this model series. Therefore, it also

special equipment or the country version. This
also applies to safety-related functions and sys‐
tems.

here, adhere to local regulations.
The concept
The onboard monitor combines the functions
of a large number of different switches. Thus,
these functions can be operated from a central
location.

an unnecessary hazard to your vehicle's occu‐
pants and to other road users, never attempt to
