About this Owner's Manual
In compiling this Owner's Manual we have 
made every effort to furnish you with a 
convenient reference source affording 
quick access to all the essentials. The fast-
est way to find detailed information on any 
specific subject is to turn to the compre-
hensive index at the back of the manual. If 
you wish to gain an initial overview of your 
vehicle, you will find this in the first chap-
ter.
Should you wish to sell your MINI at some 
time in the future, please remember to 
hand over this Owner's Manual to the new 
owner; it is an important part of the vehi-
cle.
If you have any additional questions, your 
MINI Dealer will be glad to advise you.

Your individual vehicle
The manufacturer of your MINI is the Bay-
erische Motoren Werke Aktiengesellschaft, 
BMW AG.
On purchasing your MINI, you have decided 
in favor of a model with individualized 
equipment and features. This Owner's 
Manual describes the entire array of 
options and equipment that the manufac-
turer of your MINI makes available with a 
specific model range.
We hope you will understand that equip-
ment and features are included that you 
might not have chosen for your vehicle. To 
assist you in identifying possible variations 
between your own vehicle and the man-
ual's contents, the passages describing 
optional accessories and special equipment 
are marked with an asterisk
*
.
If your MINI features equipment that is not 
described in this Owner's Manual – a car 
radio, for instance – we have enclosed addi-
tional operating instructions. We ask you to 
read these manuals as well.
