Starting-aid terminals
Only charge the battery in the vehicle when the
engine is off. Connections, refer to Jump-start-
ing on page 243.
Charger
The use of a charger ensures that the battery has
a sufficient charge even when it is used for fre-
quent short-distance driv es, for example. Charg-
ers that have been developed especially for the
vehicle and adapted to the vehicle electrical
system are available at your MINI dealer.
Disposal
After replacing old batteries, return the
used batteries to your MINI dealer or to a
recycling center. Maintain the battery in an
upright position for transport and storage.
Always secure the battery against tipping over
during transport. <
Power failure
After a temporary power loss, some equipment
may not be fully functional and may require
initialization. Individual se ttings are also lost and
must be reprogrammed:

replace it with a fuse of a different color or
Ampere rating. To do this could cause a fire in
the vehicle resulting from a circuit overload.
