Under the bonnet

Do not work on the car unless you possess
the necessary technical knowledge. If you

are not familiar with the regulations to be
observed, have the necessary work on your
vehicle carried out only by a MINI Dealer or a
workshop that has specially trained personnel
working in accordance with the specifications of
the MINI manufacturer. If this work is not carried
out properly, there is a danger of subsequent
damage and related safety hazards.

Bonnet

Releasing

Pull the lever.

Do not clean the windshield and head-
lamps if the bonnet is unlocked as this

may damage the headlamp washer system

Opening

To avoid damage, make sure that the
wiper arms are against the windshield

before you open the bonnet.

Press the release handle and open the bonnet.

Closing

Close the bonnet from a height of approx. 16 in/
40 cm with momentum. It must be clearly heard
to engage.

If you notice any signs while driving your
vehicle that the bonnet is not completely

closed, stop at once and close it securely.
Make sure that the closing path of the bonnet is
clear, otherwise injuries may result.
