Changing wheels
Your MINI is equipped with Run-Flat Tires as a
standard feature. Therefore, a tire does not need
to be replaced immediately in the event of a
puncture.
To continue driving with a damaged tire, see the
message for low tire inflation pressure on
page
50 .
The symbol identifying Run-Flat Tires is a circle
with the letters RSC on the sidewall, refer to Run-
Flat Tires, page
80 .
When mounting new tires, use Run-Flat Tires for
your own safety. Keep in mind that no spare
wheel is available in the event of a flat. Your
MINI Dealer will be glad to advise you. Refer also
to New tires and wheels, page
80 .
The tools for changing wheels can be
obtained as accessories from your MINI
Dealer.

Jacking points
The jacking points for the vehicle jack are
located in the positions shown.
12 volt battery
Have work on the 12 volt battery, includ-
ing battery replacement, carried out only
by a MINI Dealer or a workshop that has spe-
cially trained personnel working in accordance
with the specifications of the MINI manufac-
turer.
<
Battery care
The 12 volt battery is 100% maintenance-free,
which means that the electrolyte will last for the
life of the 12 volt battery when the vehicle is
operated in a temperate climate.
Disposal
After replacing old batteries, return the
used batteries to your MINI Dealer or to a
recycling point. Maintain the battery in an
upright position for transport and storage.
Always secure the battery against tipping over
during transport.

Power failure
After a temporary power loss, some equipment
may not be fully functional and may require ini-
tialization. Individual settings are also lost and
must be reprogrammed:
> Time and date
These values must be updated, page

> Radio
Stations must be stored again, refer to the
separate Owner's Manual for Radio.
Fuses
Do not attempt to repair a blown fuse or
replace it with a fuse of a different color or
Ampere rating. To do this could cause a fire in
the vehicle resulting from a circuit overload.
Have the fuse changed only by a MINI Dealer or
a workshop that has specially trained personnel
working in accordance with the specifications of
the MINI manufacturer.

A fuse allocation diagram is located on the inside
of the fuse box cover panels.
