methods.

the danger of subsequent damage and related
safety hazards.
Parts and accessories
For your own safety, use genuine parts and ac‐
cessories 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 simultaneously ac‐
quire the assurance that they have been thor‐ oughly tested by the manufacturer of the MINI
to ensure optimum performance when instal‐
led on your vehicle. The manufacturer of the
MINI warrants these parts to be free from de‐
fects in material and workmanship. The manu‐
facturer of the MINI will not accept any liability
for damage resulting from installation of parts
and accessories not approved by the manufac‐
turer of the MINI. The manufacturer of the MINI
cannot test every product made by other man‐
ufacturers to verify if it can be used on a MINI
safely and without risk to either the vehicle, its
operation, or its occupants. 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. Installation and

tors, wheels, suspension components, brake
dust shields, telephones, including operation ofany mobile phone from within the vehicle with‐

transceiver equipment, for instance, CBs,
walkie-talkies, ham radios or similar accesso‐
ries, may cause extensive damage to the vehi‐
cle, compromise its safety, interfere with the
vehicle's electrical system or affect the validity
of the MINI Limited Warranty. See your MINI
Dealer for additional information. Maintenance,
replacement, or repair of the emission control
devices and systems may be performed by any
automotive repair establishment or individual
using any certified automotive part.

vehicle model with it or to raise any load of any
kind. To do so could cause accidents and per‐

rest on the ground vertically beneath the
jacking point.2.Guide the jack head into the rectangular re‐
cess of the jacking point when cranking up.3.Jack the vehicle up until the wheel you are
