OVERVIEW REPAIRSOPERATIONCONTROLS DATA INDEX
GENERAL DRIVING NOTES REFUELING Driving through water
Do not drive through water on the
road if it is deeper than 1 ft (30 cm),
and then only at walking speed at the
most. Otherwise, the vehicle's engine, the
electrical systems and the transmission
may be damaged.<
Clothes hooks
When suspending clothing from the
hooks, ensure that they will not
obstruct the driver's vision. Do not hang
heavy objects on the hooks. If you do so,
they could cause personal injury during
braking or evasive maneuvers.<
High temperatures
High temperatures occur in any
vehicle equipped with a catalytic
converter. Do not remove the heat protec-
tion plates fitted in the area of the exhaust
system and do not apply body-cavity
protectant to this area. When driving,
standing at idle or when parking, take
precautions to avoid contact between the
hot exhaust system and easily flammable
materials (grass, hay or leaves, for
example). Such contact could lead to a fire,
resulting in serious personal injury and
property damage.<
Always switch off the engine before
refueling. If you do not, fuel cannot
be filled into the tank and the "Service
Engine Soon" lamp may come on.<
1. Open the fuel filler door
2. Turn the filler cap counterclockwise
3. Put the filler cap in the bracket attached
to the fuel filler door.
Always observe all applicable precau-
tions and regulations when handling
fuels. Never carry spare fuel containers in
your vehicle. Whether empty or full, these
containers can leak, cause an explosion,
and lead to fire in the event of a collision.<
Simple and environmentally friendly
Always observe all safety precautions
posted at the service station when
handling fuel.<
When refueling, insert the filler nozzle
completely into the filler pipe. Pulling the
nozzle out of the pipe during refueling
>results in premature pump shutoff
>and will reduce the effect of the fuel
vapor recovery system on the pump.
As long as the filler nozzle is used properly,
the fuel tank is full whenever the nozzle
shuts off the first time.
Tank capacity: approx. 13.2 gallons
(50 liters).
Close the fuel cap carefully after
refuelling until a "click" is heard.
While closing, be sure not to squeeze the
strap which is fastened to the filler cap.
A loose or missing cap will activate the
"Service Engine Soon" warning lamp.<
Refill early to avoid damaging the
catalytic converter; never attempt to
drive to the last drop of fuel in the tank.<

HOOD
Do not attempt to service your
vehicle if you do not have the
required technical background. Before
working in the engine compartment,
switch off the engine and allow it to cool
down. Before working on the electrical
system, always disconnect the battery first.
For all work on the vehicle, comply with the
appropriate information and instructions.
Failure to work in an informed, professional
manner when servicing components and
materials constitutes a safety hazard
for vehicle occupants and other road users.
If you are not familiar with the guidelines,
please have the operations performed by
your MINI center.<

If it is determined that the hood is not
completely closed while driving, stop
immediately and close it securely, see also
