MINI SERVICE
MINI recommends you have your maintenance and repair work performed by an
authorized MINI dealer.
MAINTAINING YOUR MINI VEHICLE
A well‑maintained vehicle will help safeguard its operational performance,
road‑safety and its reliability. This is why it is important to follow and perform MINI's
recommended periodic vehicle inspections and maintenance service tasks as indicated
by your vehicle's Maintenance Service Display, along with the other maintenance work
described in this booklet.
Damage, including consequential damage, which results from lack of or improper
maintenance is not covered under the MINI New Passenger Car Limited
Warranty.
MAINTENANCE INTERVALS
Maintenance intervals on motor vehicles were conventionally based solely on a fxed
time period or a specifed amount of accumulated driving mileage.
However, operational and driving conditions have a ma jor infuence on your vehicle's
routine maintenance requirements; the distance traveled is only one of these signifcant
factors. A vehicle used for short trips in the city with numerous cold starts, prolonged
periods of idling, stop‑and‑go driving, and high engine speeds during acceleration
may require more frequent maintenance intervals than a vehicle that is driven long
distances at moderate engine speeds.
CONDITION‑BASED SERVICE (CBS)
Your MINI vehicle uses sensors and algorithms together with the elapsed time and the
driving distance/profle to monitor and evaluate your vehicle's maintenance service
needs. This information is then used to adapt dynamically the parameters used to
forecast the applicable maintenance ser vice task intervals.
THE MINI MAINTENANCE SYSTEM
All MINI vehicles are equipped with an integrated MINI Maintenance System.
This maintenance "reminder" system helps ensure that the vehicle inspections and
maintenance ser vice tasks are performed at the forecasted intervals that apply to your
vehicle.
