Service Interval Display; Tachometer - Mini 2004 Convertible Cooper Owner's Manual

TACHOMETER

Do not operate the engine with the needle
in the red overspeed zone of the gauge.
To protect the engine, the power is reduced
when you approach a certain engine speed
in this sector.

SERVICE INTERVAL DISPLAY

Remaining distance for service
The distance remaining before the next
scheduled service is displayed in miles /
kilometers for a short period with the igni-
tion key in position 1 or higher. The display
also indicates whether an engine oil service
and/or an inspection is due.
The onboard computer bases its calcula-
tions of the remaining distance on your
driving style in the period immediately pre-
ceding your data request. The remaining
distance display counts backwards in steps
of 35 miles / 50 km to the next service. A
flashing message and a minus sign in front
of the display that again begins counting
forwards mean that the service interval has
been exceeded.
Please schedule an appointment with your
MINI Dealer or a workshop that has spe-
cially trained personnel working in accor-
dance with the specifications of your MINI
manufacturer.
For more information on the service inter-
val display, refer to page 112.
