Care

Suitable car-care products

Use the cleaning and car-care products

available at your MINI Dealer.<

Cleaning agents may contain hazardous

or health-damaging substances. Follow

the warning and hazard instructions on the

packaging. For interior cleaning, always open

the doors or windows of the vehicle.

Do not use any products that are not intended

for cleaning the vehicle.<

Washing your vehicle

You can wash your new MINI in an automatic car

wash from the first day. Preference should be

given to cloth car washes. If, due to lack of avail-

ability, brush car washes must be used, modern

systems with soft brushes should be given pref-

erence.

When using steam jets or high-pressure

washers, ensure that you maintain a suffi-

cient distance to the vehicle. If the jet is too close

or the pressure is too high, this can lead to dam-

age or initial damage that can develop into more

serious damage. Water that enters vehicle com-

ponents can lead to damage over the long term.

After washing the vehicle, apply the brakes

briefly to dry them, otherwise water can reduce

braking efficiency over the short term and the

brake rotors can corrode.

Switch the rain sensor off when passing through

an automatic car wash, page 40. Failure to do so

could result in damage caused by undesired

wiper activation.<

Rod antenna

If necessary, for example before entering a car

wash or a garage with an elevator ramp, remove

the rod antenna.

Headlamps

Do not wipe dry and do not use abrasive or cor-

rosive cleaning agents. Remove dirt and con-

tamination, such as insects, by soaking with

shampoo and then rinsing with plenty of water.

Always use a deicer spray to remove accumu-

lated ice and snow; never use a scraper. Use

window de-icers.

Vehicle paintwork

Regular care contributes greatly to driving safety

and value retention.

Environmental influences varying from one

region to the next can affect the vehicle paint-

work. Base the frequency and scope of car care

on these various influences.

Care of upholstery

Depressions that come about on the upholstery

material of the seats in daily use can be brushed

out using a slightly damp brush against the

grain.

The fact that velour lays down is not a quality

defect but rather is inevitable, as it is with home

textiles or clothing.

In the case of strong sunlight and longer parking

periods, cover the seats or all windows to pre-

vent discoloration.

Care of special parts

Light-alloy wheels*

Especially in the winter months, care for the

wheel rims with wheel rim cleaner. Do not use

acidic, strongly alkaline and abrasive cleaning

agents or steam jets. Follow the manufacturer's

instructions.

Chrome parts*

Carefully clean vehicle parts such as the radiator

grill and door handles with copious quantities of

water and, if necessary, a shampoo additive,

especially when contaminated with road salt.

For additional treatment, use chrome polish.

Rubber parts

Treat only with water or rubber care products.
