VEHICLE IMMOBILIZATION OBD INTERFACE SOCKET TECHNICAL MODIFICATIONSYour MINI center will be glad to advise you
on what is important if the vehicle is to be
decommissioned for longer than three
months.
The interface for onboard diagnostics is
located on the driver's side, behind a cover
located beneath the instrument panel. The
cover has the letters "OBD" on it.
This interface makes it possible to access
data on emissions-related components
using special equipment.
Any MINI center will be glad to inform you
of the advisability, legal regulations and
factory recommendations for technical
modifications to the vehicle. To do so, they
require the vehicle identification number
from your vehicle documents.

LAMPS AND BULBSProceed carefully when handling lamps and
bulbs. If you are not familiar with any of
the procedures, consult your MINI center.
Do not touch the glass portion of
a new bulb with your bare hands
since even small amounts of impurities
burn into the surface and reduce the
service life of the bulb. Use a clean cloth,
paper napkin, or a similar material, or hold
the bulb by its metallic base.<
Replacement bulbs are available from your
MINI center.
Whenever working on the electrical
system, switch off the electrical
accessory you are working on or disconnect
the cable from the negative terminal of the
battery. Failure to do this could result in
short circuits.
To prevent injuries and damage, comply
with any instructions provided by the bulb
manufacturer.<
1 Low beams H7 bulb, 55 Watts2 High beamsH7 bulb, 55 Watts
The H7 bulb is pressurized. Therefore,
wear safety glasses and protective
gloves. Failure to observe these precautions
can result in physical injury if the bulb
breaks.<
1. Pull off the cover panel of the corre-
sponding lamp
2. Press the securing wire outwards
3. Fold the securing wire downwards
4. Remove and replace the bulb.
When cleaning the headlamps,
please observe the following: do not
clean by wiping with a dry cloth (scratches).
Never use abrasives or strong solvents to
clean the covers. Remove dirt and contami-
nation (such as insects) by soaking with
shampoo and then rinsing with plenty of
water. Always use a deicer spray to remove
accumulated ice and snow Ð never use a
scraper.<
Xenon lamps* The service life of these bulbs is very long
and the probability of a failure is very low,
provided that they are not switched on and
off an unusual number of times. If one of
these bulbs should nevertheless fail, it is
possible to continue driving with great
caution using the fog lamps, provided
traffic laws in your area do not prohibit
this.
Because of the extremely high volt-
ages involved, any work on the xenon
lighting system should be carried out by
technically-qualified personnel only. Other-
wise, there is a risk of fatal injury.<
