2015 MINI Hardtop 2 Door automatic transmission fluid

Follow the notes and instructions on the con‐
tainer.
United States: The washer fluid mixture ratio is
regulated by the U.S. EPA and many individual
states; do not exceed the allowable washer
fluid dilution ratios limits that apply. Follow the
usage instructions on the washer fluid con‐
tainer. Use BMW’s Windshield Washer Concen‐
trate or the equivalent. ◀
Adding washer fluid
Only add washer fluid when the engine is
cool, and then close the cover completely to
avoid contact between the washer fluid and
hot engine parts.
Otherwise, there is a danger of fire and a risk to
personal safety if the fluid is spilled. ◀
Washer fluid reservoir
All washer nozzles are supplied from one reser‐
voir.
Fill with a mixture of windshield washer con‐
centrate and tap water and – if required – with
a washer antifreeze, according to the manufac‐
turer's recommendations.
Mix the washer fluid before adding to find the
right mixture.
Do not add windshield washer concentrate and
antifreeze undiluted and do not fill with pure
water; this could damage the wiper system.
Do not mix window washer concentrates of dif‐
ferent manufacturers because they can clog the
windshield washer nozzles.
Recommended minimum fill quantity: 0.2 US
gal/1 liter.
Manual transmission Shifting Shifting into 5th or 6th gear
When shifting into 5th or 6th gear, push
the gearshift lever to the right; otherwise, inad‐
vertent shifting into 3rd or 4th gear could lead
to engine damage. ◀
Reverse gear Select only when the vehicle is stationary.
To overcome the resistance push the selector
lever dynamically to the left and engage the re‐
verse gear.

lector lever position P is set. Otherwise, the ve‐
hicle may begin to move.Seite 68CONTROLSDriving68
