Warranty
Your vehicle is technically configured for
the operating conditions and registration
requirements applying in the country of
first delivery, also known as homologation.
If your vehicle is to be operated in a differ-
ent country it might be necessary to adapt
your vehicle to potentially differing operat-
ing conditions and registration require-
ments. Noncompliance with homologation
requirements in a certain country may af-
fect warranty coverage. Please consult the
New Vehicle Limited Warranty Booklet for
further information on warranty matters.
Maintenance and repairs
Advanced technology, for instance the use
of modern materials and high-performance
electronics, requires suitable maintenance
and repair work.
The manufacturer of your vehicle recom-
mends that you entrust corresponding pro-
cedures to a MINI dealer’s service center. If
you choose to use another service facility,
the manufacturer of your vehicle recom-
mends use of a facility that performs work,
e.g., maintenance and repair, according to
MINI specifications with properly trained
personnel, referred to in the Owner's
Manual as "another qualified service center
or repair shop".
If work is performed improperly, for in-
stance maintenance and repair, there is a
risk of subsequent damage and related
safety risks.
Improperly performed work on the vehicle
paintwork can lead to a failure or fault of
components, e.g., the radar sensors, and
thereby result in a safety hazard.
Parts and accessories
The manufacturer of your vehicle recom-
mends the use of parts and accessory prod-
ucts approved by the manufacturer of the
MINI.
Approved parts and accessories, and advice
on their use and installation are available
from a MINI dealer's service center.
MINI parts and accessories were tested by
the manufacturer of the MINI for their
safety and suitability in MINI vehicles.
The manufacturer of your vehicle warrants
genuine MINI parts and accessories.
The manufacturer of your vehicle does not
evaluate whether each individual product
from another manufacturer can be used
with MINI vehicles without presenting a
safety hazard, even if a country-specific of-
ficial approval was issued. The manufac-
turer of your vehicle does not evaluate
whether these products are suitable for
MINI vehicles under all usage conditions.
