MINI MAINTENANCE SYSTEM

The MINI Maintenance System has been

designed as a reliable means of providing

maximum driving and operating safety –

and as cost-effectively as possible for you.

Please bear in mind that regular mainte-

nance is not only necessary for the safety

of your vehicle, but also plays a significant

role in maintaining the resale value of the

vehicle.

Service Interval Display

While conventional systems specify main-

tenance according to rigid distances driven,

the MINI Maintenance System takes

account of the operating conditions of the

vehicle, for distances can be driven in many

different ways:

From the point of view of maintenance,

60.000 miles (100.000 km) of short-

distance driving cannot be regarded in the

same way as 60.000 miles (100.000 km) of

long-distance highway travel.

The condition-based MINI Maintenance

System includes the Engine Oil Service and

Inspections I and II.

Determining the maintenance intervals

according to the actual use of the vehicle

covers every kind of operating situation.

People who drive very little – much less

than 6.000 miles (10.000 km) per year –

should have the engine oil changed at least

every 2 years since oil deteriorates over

time, regardless of use.

For more information on the Service

Interval Display, see page 57.

Service Guide Booklet (Canadian

models)

For additional information on maintenance

intervals and procedures, please refer to

the Service and Warranty Information

Booklet (US models) or the Warranty and

Service Guide Booklet (Canadian models).

As a precaution against rust, it is advisable

to have the body checked for damage from

rocks or gravel at the same time, depending

upon operating conditions.

Have your vehicle's maintenance

and repairs performed at your MINI

center.

Be sure that all maintenance work is

confirmed in the Service and Warranty

Information Booklet (US models) or the

Warranty and Service Guide Booklet (Cana-

dian models). These entries are your proof

that the vehicle has received regular main-

tenance. They are also a requirement for

warranty claims.<
