8For your own safety
Use unleaded gasoline only. Fuels
containing up to and including
10 % ethanol or other oxygenates with up
to 2.8 % oxygen by weight (i.e. 15 % MTBE or
3 % methanol plus an equivalent amount
of co-solvent) will not void the applicable
warranties with respect to defects in mate-
rials or workmanship. Field experience has
indicated significant differences in fuel
quality (volatility, composition, additives,
others) among gasolines offered for sale in
the United States and Canada. The use of
poor-quality fuels may result in driveability,
starting and stalling problems especially
under certain environmental conditions,
such as high ambient temperature and
high altitude.
Should you encounter driveability prob-
lems which you suspect could be related to
the fuel you are using, we recommend that
you respond by switching to a recognized
high-quality brand.
Failure to comply with these recommenda-
tions may result in unscheduled mainte-
nance.
Obey pertinent safety rules when you are
handling gasoline.

Important safety information.
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
vehicle.
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 centers.
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, inter-
fere with the vehicleÕs electrical system
or affect the validity of the MINI Limited
Warranty. See your MINI center for addi-
tional information.

Maintenance, replacement, or repair
of the emission control devices and
systems may be performed by any automo-
tive repair establishment or individual
using any certified automotive part.

TRANSPORTING CHILDREN SAFELYYour vehicle has one of two different types
of child-restraint anchor fittings on the
back of the rear seats, see arrows 1 or 2.
Depending on the location selected for
seating in the rear passenger area, attach
the tether strap to the corresponding
anchorage point to secure the child-
restraint system.
Adjust the tether strap according to the
child restraint manufacturerÕs instructions.
Anchor fitting 1 is shown above.
Anchor fitting 2 is shown in the next
column.<
Both seating positions are fitted with a
head restraint. Lift the head restraint and
pass the tether strap between the head
restraint and the seat back. It is recom-
mended to readjust the head restraint into
the lowest possible position.
Adjust the tether strap according to
the child restraint manufacturer's
instructions. Before installing any child-
restraint device or child seat, please read
the following:
Never install a rearward-facing child-
restraint system in the front passenger seat
of this vehicle.
Your vehicle is equipped with an airbag
supplemental restraint system for the front
passenger. Because the backrest on any
rearward-facing child-restraint system Ð
of the kind designed for infants under
1 year and 20 Ibs./9 kg Ð would be within
the airbag's deployment range, you should
never mount such a device in the front
passenger seat, since the impact of the
airbag against the child restraint's backrest
could lead to serious or fatal injuries.
If it is necessary for a child Ð not an infant Ð
to ride in the front seat, certain precautions
should be taken. First, move the passenger
seat as far away from the instrument panel
as possible. This important precaution is
intended to maximize the distance
between the airbag and the child. Older
children should be tightly secured with a
safety belt, after they have outgrown a
booster seat that is appropriate for their
age, height and weight. Younger children
should be secured in an appropriate

LOADING CARGO ROOF-MOUNTED LUGGAGE RACK
*
Always position and secure the load
carefully. If you do not, it can
endanger the passengers during braking
or evasive maneuvers.
Do not exceed the permissible gross weight
and axle load, see page 122, otherwise the
vehicle's operating safety is no longer
assured and you are in violation of the law.
Do not stow heavy or hard objects in the
passenger compartment without first
securing them. Otherwise they would be
thrown around during braking and evasive
maneuvers and endanger the occupants.<
When loading a roof-mounted
luggage rack, ensure that there is
sufficient space for the movement of the
sliding/tilt sunroof and that no objects
protrude into the swiveling area of the tail-
gate, as otherwise damage can occur.<
Do not secure the roof-mounted
luggage rack to the trim panels/
strips: the lack of a secure hold could lead
to damage or accidents.<
Special roof-mounted luggage racks
for your MINI are available as acces-
sories from your MINI center.<
