Maintenance and repairs Advanced technology, e.g., the use of modern
materials and high-performance electronics,
requires suitable maintenance and repair
methods.
Therefore, have this work performed only by a
MINI service center or a workshop that works
according to MINI repair procedures with ap‐
propriately trained personnel.
If this work is not carried out properly, there is
the danger of subsequent damage and related
safety hazards.
Parts and accessories
For your own safety, it is recommended that
you use genuine parts and accessories ap‐
proved by MINI. When you purchase accesso‐
ries tested and approved by MINI and Genuine
MINI Parts, you simultaneously acquire the as‐
surance that they have been thoroughly tested
by MINI to ensure optimum performance when
installed on your vehicle. MINI warrants these
parts to be free from defects in material and
workmanship. MINI will not accept any liability
for damage resulting from installation of parts
and accessories not approved by MINI. 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. Genuine MINI Parts,
MINI Accessories and other products approved
by MINI, together with professional advice on
using these items, are available from all MINI
centers. Installation and operation of non MINI
approved accessories such as alarms, radios,
amplifiers, radar detectors, wheels, suspension
components, brake dust shields, telephones,including operation of any mobile phone from
within the vehicle without using an externally
mounted antenna, or transceiver equipment,
for instance, CBs, walkie-talkies, ham radios or
similar accessories, may cause extensive dam‐
age to the vehicle, compromise its safety, inter‐
fere with the vehicle's electrical system or af‐
fect the validity of the MINI Limited Warranty.
See your MINI center for additional informa‐
tion. Maintenance, replacement, or repair of
the emission control devices and systems may
be performed by any automotive repair estab‐
lishment or individual using any certified auto‐
motive part.
