Maintenance

Vehicle features and options
This chapter describes all standard, country-
specific and optional features offered with
the series. It also describes features and
functions that are not necessarily available
in your vehicle, e.g., due to the selected op-
tions or country versions. This also applies
to safety-related functions and systems.
When using these functions and systems,
the applicable laws and regulations must be
observed.
MINI maintenance system
The maintenance system provides service
notifications and thereby provides support
in maintaining road safety and the opera-
tional reliability of the vehicle.
In some cases, scopes and intervals of the
maintenance system may vary according to
the country version. Replacement work,
spare parts, fuels and lubricants, and wear
materials are calculated separately. Further
information is available from a dealer's serv-
ice center or another qualified service cen-
ter or repair shop.
Condition Based Service
Principle
Condition Based Service determines the
maintenance recommendation using sen-
sors and special algorithms that take into
account the operating conditions of the ve-
hicle.

The system makes it possible to adapt the
amount of maintenance corresponding to
your user profile.
General information
Information on service notifications, refer
to page 141, can be displayed on the Con-
trol Display.
Service data in the vehicle key
Information on the service notifications is
continuously stored in the vehicle key. The
service center can read this data out and
suggest a maintenance scope for the vehi-
cle.
Therefore, hand the service advisor the ve-
hicle key with which the vehicle was driven
most recently.
Stationary periods
Stationary periods during which the vehicle
battery was disconnected are not taken into
account.
If this occurs, have a dealer's service center
or another qualified service center or repair
shop update the time-dependent mainte-
nance procedures, such as checking brake
fluid and, if necessary, changing the engine
oil and the microfilter/activated-charcoal
filter.
