TIRE WARRANTY STATEMENT

Original equipment tires on new MINI vehicles arewarranted by their respective manufacturer asdetailed in the applicable tire manufacturer’swarranty statement.

The CD ROM MINI provides in the vehicle’sdocuments portfolio contains the warrantystatements for the following original equipment tiremanufacturers (as applicable to your vehicle):

� Bridgestone/Firestone

� Continental

� Goodyear/Dunlop

� Hankook

� Michelin

� Pirelli

The terms and conditions of the tire manufacturers’warranties are independently determined by the tiremanufacturers without input from MINI. Werecommend either contacting or visiting the specifictire manufacturer’s website to ensure that you havethe most current warranty information that applies toyour tires.

Should you have difficulty in obtaining the applicablewarranty service from a tire manufacturer, yourauthorized MINI dealer will assist you in resolvingthe situation.

Instructions for proper tire care and maintenance arecontained in the Wheels and Tires section of yourvehicle’s Owner’s Manual.

BATTERY CARE

Battery posts, terminals and relatedaccessories contain lead and lead compounds;

chemicals known to the State of California to causecancer.

If your car is driven only for short distances of lessthan 10 miles over a prolonged period of time,without an occasional drive at highway speeds, theengine’s charging system will not maintain thebattery. Insufficient use of the vehicle could result inshort-term starting problems and in the long termcould damage the battery.

In case the car will not be operated for more thanfour weeks, it is advisable to:� consider using a proper trickle charger, following

the charger manufacturer’s instructions, tomaintain the battery’s state of charge; or

� consult your authorized MINI dealer or anotherqualified service center regarding battery removal.Once removed, the battery must be charged andstored in a cool, dry place where it can beprotected from freezing. If the battery will bestored for over 3 months, it must be rechargedevery 3 months, or else it will become damagedand useless.

Please consult with your authorized MINI dealer oranother qualified service center for further guidanceand information.

CORROSION PROTECTION

Extensive corrosion protection measures now make itpossible to offer a 12-year unlimited mileageanti-corrosion warranty against rust perforation onyour vehicle provided that the vehicle is properlymaintained. Information on proper maintenance isavailable in this Booklet and your vehicle’s Owner’sManual.

The major degree of corrosion protection is due tothe electrophoretic dip painting process whichcathodically deposits paint particles on all body parts,attracting paint particles into the minutest cavities orseams. Body parts are designed to provide optimumcorrosion protection.

During manufacture, exterior body parts receive anadditional corrosion protection coat. Hood, trunk,doors and other body parts with metal folds arecoated with PVC and sealed from the outside.

All floor panels receive a resilient coating of PVC formaximum protection against damage due to stones,etc.

Corrosion protection materials tested over manyyears are applied to the surfaces of cavities and to theentire underside of the vehicle during and afterassembly.

For additional information on the 12-year unlimitedmileage anti-corrosion warranty, see the Warrantysection of this Booklet (page 4).

19


RESTORING CORROSION PROTECTION

Please take care that anti-corrosion material isreplaced when your car is repaired after body orchassis damage.

UNDERBODY MAINTENANCE

The underbody has to be cleaned at least once a year,in Spring, with plain water in order to remove mud,chemical sediments and other deposits. If thosematerials are not removed, corrosion (rust) will occur.

MINI recommends that your authorized MINI dealerperform this anti-corrosion service for you.

Do not apply additional undercoating orrust-proofing on or near the exhaust manifold,exhaust pipes, catalytic converter or heat

shields. During driving, the substance used forundercoating could overheat and cause a fire.

FUEL QUALITY — GASOLINE

Use fuels advertised to have adequate detergency andlow alcohol (such as ethanol) content. Please refer toyour Owner’s Manual for important information onthe fuel recommended for use in your vehicle. Use offuels with insufficient detergent and/or excessalcohol can cause driveability problems thatnecessitate cleaning intake valves and fuel injectionvalves, and, when applicable, adjusting the engineidle. We recommend having this work performed byyour authorized MINI dealer or another qualifiedservice center, perhaps while regular maintenance isperformed. Your authorized MINI dealer can alsorecommend a gasoline additive that will providesufficient detergency. This recommended,unscheduled maintenance, which may benecessitated by use of inappropriate fuels, is notrequired in order to maintain the emission warranty.It also is not covered by your vehicle’s warrantybecause no defect in material or workmanship orcomponent failure is involved.
