MINI Maintenance System
The MINI Maintenance System contributes
towards upholding the roadworthiness and
operating reliability of your MINI. Its purpose is
to optimise maintenance measures with a view
to minimising the cost of looking after your vehi-
cle.
If and when you come to sell your MINI, a com-
prehensive record of servicing will prove a signif-
icant benefit.
Condition Based Service CBS
Sensors and advanced algorithms take account
of the varying conditions in which your MINI is
used. Condition Based Service uses these to
determine current and future servicing require-
ments. The system provides you with an oppor-

to your personal standards, so that your MINI
will always be reliably operational.
In the revolution counter, you can have the
remaining distances and times for selected
maintenance tasks as well as any legally pre-
scribed dates displayed to you individually,
page 63.
Service data in the remote control

relating to service requirements in the remote

Service Advisor can read out this data from the

maintenance approach. Whenever you take
your car in for servicing you should therefore
hand your MINI Service Advisor the remote con-
trol unit that you last used.
Make sure that the date in the revolution
counter is always set correctly, page 65,
otherwise the effectiveness of Condition Based
Service CBS is not assured.<
