TACHOMETER SERVICE INTERVAL DISPLAY
Do not operate the engine with the needle
in the red overspeed zone of the gauge.
To protect the engine, the power is reduced
when you approach a certain engine speed
in this sector.
Remaining distance for service
With the ignition key in position 1 or
higher, the distance remaining before the
next scheduled service is displayed in miles
for a short period. The display also indicates
whether an engine oil service and/or an
inspection is due.
The remaining distance is calculated on the
basis of the preceding driving style. The dis-
play counts backwards in steps of 35 miles/
50 km to the next service. A flashing mes-
sage and a minus sign in front of the dis-
play that again begins counting forwards
mean that the service interval has been
exceeded.
Please schedule an appointment with your
MINI Dealer or a workshop that has spe-
cially trained personnel working in accor-
dance with the specifications of your MINI
manufacturer.

val display, refer to page
