Overview
The concept
You can use MINI Connected to integrate certain

included with MINI Connected.
Only make entries when the traffic situa-
tion allows you to do so. If you do not
observe this precaution, your being distracted
can endanger vehicle occupants and other road
users.
For safety reasons, some software applications
can only be used when the vehicle is stopped. by the manufacturer of your MINI; other-
wise, malfunctions may result. <

applies to safety relate d functions and systems.
General information
Switch off the engine before refueling;
otherwise, fuel cannot be added to the
tank and a message will be displayed. <
Take all precautionary measures and
observe all applicable regulations when
handling fuel. Do not carry any spare fuel con-
tainers in your vehicle. They can develop a leak
and cause an explosion or cause a fire in the
event of an accident. <

Observe the following when refueling
Take all precautionary measures and
observe all applicable regulations when
handling fuel; otherwise, there is a danger of
personal injury and property damage. <
When refueling, insert the filler nozzle com-
pletely into the filler pipe. Avoid lifting the filler
nozzle while filling the tank, as that would lead
to
> premature pump shutoff
> reduced efficiency of the fuel-vapor recov-
ery system.
The fuel tank is full when you top off twice after
the first time that the fuel pump nozzle clicks off.
Do not overfill the fuel tank; otherwise,
overflowing fuel can cause damage to the
environment and the vehicle.<
Fuel tank capacity
If the range displayed is less than
30 miles/50 km, be sure to refuel; other-
wise, engine functions are not guaranteed and
damage may occur. <
Approx. 12.3USgal/47liters, including the
reserve capacity of 2.1 US gal/8 liters.
If the engine can no longer be started because
of an empty fuel tank, add at least 1.3 US gal/ 5 liters of fuel. If the vehicle is at an angle, a
larger amount of fuel may be necessary.
Fuel specifications
Gasoline
For optimum fuel efficiency, the gasoline should
be free of sulfur or as low in sulfur as possible.
Fuels that are labeled at
the pump as containing
metal may not be used.
Do not fill the tank with leaded gasoline or
gasoline that contai ns metal additives,
such as manganese or iron; otherwise, long term
damage to the catalytic converter or other com-
ponents may result. <
Fuels with a maximum ethanol content of up to
10 %, that is, E10, can be used.
The ethanol should meet the following quality
standards:
US: ASTM 4806-xx
CAN: CGSB-3.511-xx
xx: Always observe currently valid standards. Do not fill the tank with E85, i.e. fuel con-
taining 85 % ethanol, nor with FlexFuel.
Otherwise, the engine and fuel supply system
will be damaged. <
The engine is knocking regulated. Therefore, dif-
ferent grades of gasoline can be used for refuel-
ing.
Recommended gasoline grades
The manufacturer of your MINI recommends:
> AKI 91.
> John Cooper Works: AKI 93.
Minimum quality
The manufacturer of your MINI recommends
AKI 89.
Do not use any gasoline below the speci-
fied minimum fuel grade. Otherwise, the
engine could be damaged. <
