Mutual aid
Mobile Service
Mobile Service is available via the telephone
around the clock in most countries. This service
can render assistance in the event of a break-
down.
First aid pouch*
Certain items in the first aid pouch have a limited
useful life. Check the expiry dates of the con-
tents regularly and replace any items that have
expired.
The first-aid pouch is located on the luggage
compartment floor on the left-hand side trim
panel or under the luggage compartment floor.
Warning triangle*
In the luggage area under the load edge.
To remove the triangle, open the two fasteners.
Jump-starting
If the car's own battery is discharged, your
MINI's engine can be started by using two jump
leads from another vehicle's battery. In the
same way, you can help another vehicle to start.
Use only leads with fully insulated terminal
clamps.
Do not touch any electrically live parts
when the engine is running, or a fatal acci-
dent may occur. Do not depart from the proce-
dure described below, otherwise personal injury
could result or one or both vehicles sustain dam-
age.

Preparations
1. Check whether the battery of the other vehi-
cle has a voltage of 12 Volt and approxi-
mately the same capacity in Amp/h. This
should be printed on the battery.
2. Switch off the engine of the donor vehicle.
3. Switch off any consumers in both vehicles.
The bodies of the two vehicles must not
make contact, otherwise there is the risk
of a short-circuit.

Connecting the jump leads
