Maintenance Upgrade Option
Please contact your authorized MINI dealer for
information regarding the purchase of optional
Maintenance Program Upgrades. Eligibility and
coverage exclusions may apply.
Intervals
Time intervals should be followed using the
maintenance interval as indicated by the
Condition Based Service data.
Maintenance intervals on motor vehicles have
conventionally been specified based upon
accumulated mileage. However, driving
conditions have a major influence on routine
maintenance requirements; distance traveled is
only one of the significant factors. A vehicle
driven for 50,000 miles of short trips in the city
with numerous cold starts, prolonged periods of
idling, stop-and-go driving, and high engine
speeds during acceleration requires more
frequent maintenance intervals than a vehicle
driven for 50,000 miles for long distances at low
engine speeds primarily at operating
temperature.
The advanced technologies at MINI have led to
the development of the Condition Based Service
(CBS) system which computes the actual
optimum maintenance requirements based not
only upon the accumulated mileage, but taking
into account important factors such as high or
low engine speeds, short or long trip driving.
Condition Based Service (CBS)
CBS is a further development of the Service
Interval Indicator System.
The remaining times for selected maintenance
tasks as well as any legally prescribed dates are
displayed to you individually:
䉯
Engine oil
䉯
Brake fluid
䉯
Vehicle check
䉯
Required State Inspection(s)
CBS thus determines the current and future
maintenance requirements.
The vehicle’s current service status is
automatically saved in the remote control key.
The MINI Service Advisor at your authorized MINI
dealer has a device called a key reader. When
your MINI Service Advisor inserts your key into
the key reader, all pertinent vehicle and servicing
data will be available, and a customized
maintenance checklist is printed out based on
the specific operations called for by the
Condition Based Service.
MINI recommends that you have maintenance
and repair work performed by your authorized
MINI dealer.
Disconnecting the battery during periods of
long-term storage will interrupt the
calculation of time-based services. MINI
recommends that you have all items requiring
time-based maintenance, such as brake fluid,
and possibly also the engine oil and microfilter,
brought up to date by your authorized MINI
dealer. Also see the section on battery care on
page 8 of this Booklet.
