NOTES
Parts and accessories
For your own safety, use genuine 
parts and accessories approved by 
the manufacturer of the MINI.
When you purchase accessories tested 
and approved by the manufacturer of the 
MINI and Original MINI Parts, you simulta-
neously acquire the assurance that they 
have been thoroughly tested by the manu-
facturer of the MINI to ensure optimum 
performance when installed on your vehi-
cle. 
The manufacturer of the MINI warrants 
these parts to be free from defects in mate-
rial and workmanship. 
The manufacturer of the MINI will not 
accept any liability for damages resulting 
from installation of parts and accessories 
not approved by the manufacturer 
of the MINI. 
The manufacturer of the MINI cannot test 
every product from other manufacturers to 
verify if it can be used on a MINI safely and 
without risk to either the vehicle, its opera-
tion, or its occupants. 
Original MINI Parts, MINI Accessories and 
other products approved by the manufac-
turer of the MINI, together with profes-
sional advice on using these items, are 
available from all MINI Dealers. 
Installation and operation of non-MINI 
approved accessories such as alarms, 
radios, amplifiers, radar detectors, wheels, 
suspension components, brake dust 
shields, telephones, including operation of 
any portable cellular phone from within 
the vehicle without using an externally 
mounted antenna, or transceiver equip-
ment, e.g. CB, walkie-talkie, ham radio or 
similar, may cause extensive damage to the 
vehicle, compromise its safety, interfere 
with the vehicle's electrical system or affect 
the validity of the MINI Limited Warranty. 
See your MINI Dealer for additional infor-
mation.

Maintenance, replacement, or repair 
of the emission control devices and

rized MINI Dealership or individual using
