Roadside Assistance

Roadside Assistance is available by phone 24
hours a day in many countries. You can receive
assistance there in the event of an emergency.
Phone numbers for Roadside Assistance are
listed in the Contact brochure.

First aid pouch*

Some of the articles contained in the first aid
pouch have a limited service life. Therefore,
check the expiration dates of the contents regu-
larly and replace any items in good time, if nec-
essary.

By way of example, the illustration shows the
cargo area in the MINI.
The first aid pouch is located on the rear cargo
well by the left side trim panel.

Warning triangle*

MINI

On the inside of the liftgate.
Press the tab to take it out.

MINI Convertible

The warning triangle is located at the bottom of
the luggage compartment floor.

Jump-starting

If the car's own battery is flat, your MINI's engine
can be started by connecting two jumper cables
to another vehicle's battery. You can also use
the same method to help start another vehicle.
Only use jumper cables with fully-insulated
clamp handles.

Do not touch any electrically live parts
when the engine is running, or a fatal acci-

dent may occur. Carefully adhere to the follow-
ing sequence, both to prevent damage to one or
both vehicles, and to guard against possible per-
sonal injuries.
