Mini MINI COOPER 2014, Installation Instructions, Service & Warranty Information

Maintenance Service Summary
The Condition Based Service (CBS) system will
determine the requirement for performing the
maintenance services described in this section,
ending on page 7. These services may be
required either individually or in conjunction with
other maintenance services.
Maintenance services are performed as outlined
in this section, based on intervals of either time,
mileage or after performing a specified number
of previous services. These intervals correspond
to the latest information available when this
Booklet was printed. Maintenance intervals are
subject to change with newer vehicles or may
also apply retroactively. Your authorized MINI
dealer will be able to advise and perform
maintenance services as required by the most
recent information that applies to your vehicle.
Unscheduled maintenance
Only use fuels advertised to have adequate
detergency and low alcohol content. Use of fuels
with insufficient detergent and/or excess alcohol
can cause driveability problems that necessitate
cleaning intake valves and fuel injection valves,
and, when applicable, adjusting the engine idle. We
suggest having this work performed by your
authorized MINI dealer, perhaps while regular
maintenance is performed. Your authorized MINI
dealer can also recommend a gasoline additive
that will provide sufficient detergency. While this
recommended unscheduled maintenance is not
required in order to maintain the emission warranty,
cleaning of intake valves or, when applicable, fuel
injection valves, or adjustment of engine idle,
necessitated by use of inappropriate fuel, is not
covered by warranty because no defect in material
or workmanship or component failure is involved.
