MOBILITY
Socket for on-board
diagnosis OBD
Components that are crucial for the composition
of emissions can be checked with a device using
the OBD socket.
Emissions
The warning lights come on. Vehicle
emissions are higher than normal. You
can continue your journey, but moder-
ate your speed and exercise due cau-
tion. Have the vehicle checked as soon as possi-
ble.
Recycling
The very design of your vehicle incorporates a
recycling-friendly concept that extends to both
the production methods used and the choice of
materials.
The manufacturer of your MINI
recommends returning your vehicle at the end
of its service life to a recycling point specified by
the manufacturer of your MINI. In doing this, you
will be making an active contribution towards
protecting resources and the environment. The
regulations concerning the returning of end-of-
life vehicles may vary from country to country.
You can obtain more information about this in
the Internet under www.MINI.com or from your
MINI Service Centre.

Data memory
Your vehicle saves data about operation, faults
and user settings. This data is saved in the vehi-
cle and partly also in the remote control. The
information can be read out with suitable
devices, especially at the Service centre. The
information read out in this way is used to sup-
port service processes and repair or for optimis-
ing and developing vehicle functions.
