oughly tested by the manufacturer of the MINI

The manufacturer of the MINI warrants these
parts to be free from defects in material and
workmanship.
The manufacturer of the MINI will not accept any
liability for damage result ing from installation of
parts and accessories not approved by the man-
ufacturer of the MINI. The manufacturer of the MINI cannot test every
product made by other manufacturers to verify
if it can be used on a MINI safely and without risk
to either the vehicle, its operation, or its occu-
pants.
Original MINI Parts, MINI Accessories and other
products approved by the manufacturer of the
MINI, together with professional advice on using
these items, are available from all MINI dealers.

radar detectors, wheels, suspension compo-
nents, brake dust shield

sories, may cause extensiv e damage to the vehi-

Notes
For voice commands, bear in mind the follow-
ing:
>Do not use the voice activation system to ini-
tiate an emergency call. In stressful situa-
tions, the voice and vocal pitch can change.
This can unnecessarily delay the establish-
ment of a telephone connection.
> Pronounce the commands and digits
smoothly and at norm al volume, avoiding
excessive emphases and pauses. The same
applies to spelling wh en entering a destina-
tion for navigation.
> Always speak the commands in the lan-
guage of the voice activation system.
> When selecting a radio station, use the stan-
dard pronunciation of the station name.
> Keep the doors, windows and glass roof
*
closed to prevent interference from outside
noise.
> Avoid ambient noise in the vehicle while
speaking.
