Emissions Warranty Coverage



MODEL

SITUATION



There has been to some confusion regarding specific emissions warranty coverage on MINI vehicles. This document has been created to provide a



fundamental understanding of all emissions warranties that are available for US-specification vehicles distributed by MINI USA, and when these



specific warranties apply. For further details on these warranties, please refer to the appropriate Service and Warranty Booklet for the vehicle being



serviced.



INFORMATION



Available Warranty Coverage



Every US-specification MINI vehicle retailed in the US is entitled to the following warranty coverage:



^ New Vehicle Limited Warranty



^ Federal Emissions Warranty



Certain US-specification MINI vehicles retailed in the US are entitled to the following emissions warranty coverage:



^ California Vehicle Emissions Limited Vehicle Warranty, which includes:



^ Short-Term Emissions Warranty Coverage



^ Long-Term Emissions Control Defects Warranty



^ Long-Term Emissions Control Defects Warranty - models certified to optional standards



PROCESS



Determining California Emissions Control System Limited Warranties Coverage



To determine if a vehicle is eligible for California Emissions Control System Limited Warranties coverage, the following three items must be



considered:



^ Model year of the vehicle



^ Current state where the vehicle is registered



^ Original state where the vehicle was retailed (only for vehicles prior to the 2011 model year)



The California Emissions Control System Limited Warranties was originally established in California by the California Air Resources Board



(CARB). Over time, several other states have adopted all or portions of the California Low Emissions Vehicle (LEV) regulations, so customers with



vehicles registered in those states also receive similar but not necessarily identical coverage. Please refer to the appropriate Service and Warranty



Booklet to determine applicable coverage.



Model Year



Although a vehicle's emissions warranty coverage "start time" is based on the retail date, the model year is a major factor for determining emissions



warranty coverage.



When a vehicle is sold, it is sold with the specific warranty coverage outlined in the applicable Service and Warranty booklet. The coverage varies



based on the model year of the vehicle.



Vehicle Registration and Original Retail State



For the 2011 model year and later vehicles, the California Emissions Control System Limited Warranty applies to a vehicle registered in a state that



has adopted the California LEV program, regardless of the original retail state.



From the 2011 model year, the Service and Warranty Booklet states:



The California Emissions Control System Limited Warranty applies to all [model year] US-specification MINI [models] registered in [specific



states].

For vehicles prior to the 2011 model year, the California Emissions Control System Limited Warranty applies to vehicles that were sold, leased



and/or registered in a state that has adopted the California LEV program. MINI vehicles initially retailed, leased or currently registered in one of



these "California LEV states" are not eligible for this coverage.



Before the 2011 model year, the Service and Warranty Booklet states:



The California Emissions Control System Limited Warranty applies to all [model year] US-specification MINI vehicles sold, leased, and/or



registered in I.
