FUSES
Do not attempt to repair a blown
fuse or replace it with a fuse of a dif-
ferent color or Ampere rating. To do this
could cause a fire in the vehicle resulting
from a circuit overload.<
If a second fuse blows in the same cir-
cuit, have the cause rectified by your
MINI Dealer.<
A fuse allocation diagram is located on the
inside of the fuse box cover panel.
Plastic tweezers and spare fuses can be
