Vehicle Immobilization - Mini S Owner's Manual

CARING FOR YOUR VEHICLE
Leather care
*
The leather used by the manufacturer of
your MINI is a high-quality natural product
processed using state-of-the-art methods,
and it will retain its quality level for many
years if cared for appropriately.
Regular cleaning and care are necessary, as
dust and road dirt scratch in pores and
creases and lead to heavy wear as well as
premature brittleness of the leather sur-
face.
This is why you should use a cloth or vac-
uum cleaner to remove dust from the
leather on a regular basis.
Since dirt and oil slowly destroy the protec-
tive layer of the leather, a treatment with a
leather care product is necessary twice a
year. This preserves the quality of the
leather and prevents electrostatic charging.
Cleaning agents can contain hazard-
ous or health-damaging substances.
For this reason, always observe the warn-
ings on the package. For interior cleaning,
always open the doors or windows of the
vehicle.
Do not use any products that are not
intended for cleaning the vehicle.

VEHICLE IMMOBILIZATION

Your MINI Dealer will be glad to advise you
on what is important if the vehicle is to be
decommissioned for longer than three
months.
