thereby result in a safety hazard.

Vehicle documents and statutory docu-

ments.

Parts and accessories

The manufacturer of the vehicle recom-

mends the use of parts and accessory prod-

ucts approved by the manufacturer of the

MINI.

Warranty

The vehicle is technically configured for

the operating conditions and registration

requirements applicable in the country of

first delivery, also known as homologation.

If the vehicle is to be operated in a differ-

ent country it might be necessary to adapt

the vehicle to potentially differing operating

conditions and registration requirements.

Noncompliance with homologation require-

ments in a certain country may affect war-

ranty coverage. Please consult the New Ve-

hicle Limited Warranty Booklet for further

information on warranty matters.

Approved parts and accessories, and advice

on their use and installation are available

from an authorized service center.

MINI parts and accessories were tested

by the manufacturer of the MINI for their

safety and suitability in MINI vehicles.

The manufacturer of the vehicle warrants

genuine MINI parts and accessories.

The manufacturer of the vehicle does not

evaluate whether each individual product

from another manufacturer can be used

with MINI vehicles without presenting a

safety hazard, even if a country-specific

official approval was issued. The manufac-

turer of the vehicle does not evaluate

whether these products are suitable for

MINI vehicles under all usage conditions.

Maintenance and repairs

Advanced technology, for instance the use

of modern materials and high-performance

electronics, requires suitable maintenance

and repair work.

The vehicle manufacturer therefore recom-

mends having necessary work performed by

an authorized service center, e.g., a MINI

dealer or service center. If a different re-

pair shop is selected, MINI recommends

selecting a workshop that performs the ap-

propriate work such as maintenance and re-

pair according to MINI specifications with

properly trained personnel. In the Owner's

Manual, such works are referred to as "an-

other qualified authorized service center or

repair shop".

Information

NOTES

Electronic components, e.g. control units

and vehicle keys, contain components for

storing technical information. Information

about the vehicle condition, component us-

age, maintenance recommendations, events

or faults can be stored temporarily or per-

manently.

Data memory

General information

Electronic control devices are installed in

the vehicle. Electronic control units process

data they receive from vehicle sensors, self-

generate or exchange with each other. Some

control units are necessary for the vehicle

to function safely or provide assistance dur-

ing driving, for instance driver assistance

systems. Furthermore, control units facili-

tate comfort or infotainment functions.

This information generally documents the

state of a component, a module, a system, or

the surrounding area, for instance:

–

Operating states of system components,

such as fill levels, tire pressure, battery

status.

Information about stored or exchanged data

can be requested from the manufacturer of

the vehicle, in a separate booklet, for exam-

ple.

Malfunctions and faults in important

system components, for instance lights

and brakes.

Responses by the vehicle to special

driving situations such as airbag deploy-

ment or engagement of the driving sta-

bility control systems.

Personal reference

Each vehicle is marked with a unique vehi-

cle identification number. Depending on the

country, the vehicle owner can be identified

with the vehicle identification number, li-

cense plate and corresponding authorities.

In addition, there are other options to track

data collected in the vehicle to the driver

or vehicle owner, for instance via utilized

services.

–

Information on vehicle-damaging

events.

The data is required to perform the control

unit functions. Furthermore, it also serves

to detect and correct malfunctions, and

helps the vehicle manufacturer to optimize

vehicle functions.

The majority of this data is stored tempora-

rily and is only processed within the vehicle

itself. In some circumstances the vehicle

may store some data for an additional but

limited period of time.

Operating data in the vehicle

Control units process data to operate the

vehicle.

For example, this includes:

When servicing, for instance during re-

pairs, service processes, warranty cases,

and quality assurance measures, this techni-

cal information can be read out from the

vehicle together with the vehicle identifica-

tion number.

–

its individual components, e.g., wheel

RPM, wheel speed, deceleration, lateral

acceleration, engaged seat belt indica-

tor.

–

Ambient conditions, e.g., temperature,

rain sensor signals.

An authorized service center or another

qualified service center or repair shop can

read out the information. The diagnostic

socket required by law in the vehicle is

used to read out data.

The processed data is only processed in the

vehicle itself while the vehicle is being op-

erated. Data is not stored beyond the oper-

ating time.

the vehicle

The sound and picture from the mobile

devices can be played back and displayed

through the multimedia system. Certain in-

formation is transferred to the mobile devi-

ces at the same time. Depending on the type

of incorporation, this includes, for instance,

position data and other general vehicle in-

formation. This optimizes the way in which

selected apps, for instance navigation or

music playback, work.

General information

Depending on the vehicle equipment, com-

fort and individual settings can be stored

in the vehicle and modified or reset at any

time.

For example, this includes:

–

Settings for the seat and steering wheel

positions.

There is no further interaction between the

mobile device and the vehicle, such as ac-

tive access to vehicle data.

–

a vehicle’s systems performed. The EDR is

designed to record data related to vehicle

dynamics and safety systems for a short pe-

riod of time, typically 30 seconds or less.

Services from the vehicle

manufacturer

Where online services from the vehicle

manufacturer are concerned, the corre-

sponding functions are described in the ap-

propriate place, for instance the Owner's

Manual or manufacturer's web page. The

relevant legal information pertaining to data

protection may also be found on the man-

ufacturer’s website. Personal data may be

used to perform online services. Data is ex-

changed over a secure connection, for in-

stance with the IT systems of the vehicle

manufacturer intended for this purpose.

The EDR in this vehicle is designed to re-

cord such data as:

–

How various systems in the vehicle

were operating.

Whether or not the driver and passen-

ger seat belts were fastened.

How far, if at all, the driver was depress-

ing the accelerator and/or brake pedal.

How fast the vehicle was traveling.

This data can help provide a better under-

standing of the circumstances in which

crashes and injuries occur.

Any collection, processing, and use of per-

sonal data above and beyond that needed to

provide the services must always be based

on a legal permission, contractual arrange-

ment or consent. It is also possible to acti-

vate or deactivate the data connection as a

whole. This excludes functions and services

required by law such as Assist systems.

EDR data is recorded by the vehicle only

if a nontrivial crash situation occurs; no

data is recorded by the EDR under normal

driving conditions and no personal data, for

instance name, gender, age, and crash loca-

tion, are recorded.

Services from other providers

However, other parties, such as law enforce-

ment, could combine the EDR data with the

type of personally identifying data routinely

acquired during a crash investigation.

When using online services from other pro-

viders, these services are the responsibility

of the relevant provider and subject to their

data privacy conditions and terms of use.

The vehicle manufacturer has no influence

on the content exchanged during this proc-

ess. Information on the way in which per-

sonal data is collected and used in relation

to services from third parties, the scope of

such data, and its purpose, can be obtained

from the relevant service provider.

To read data recorded by an EDR, special

equipment is required, and access to the

vehicle or the EDR is needed. In addition

to the vehicle manufacturer, other parties,

such as law enforcement, that have the spe-

cial equipment, can read the information if

they have access to the vehicle or the EDR.
