After an extra long wait the 2005 MINI owners manual (US version) is finally available at the Owners Lounge as a downloadable PDF. You can also download it in our “files” section at the bottom right of this page.
<p>The heated windshield includes very thin wires inside the windshield which can be heated similar to the rear window. Thought it wasn't available in the US though.</p>
<p>Its a shame that there are so many options that the dealer can turn on to customize your MINI. You won't know about most of them until you've had a chance to read the manual after purchase, then you have to wait until your first service to have them connected. See page 47 “Vehicle Memory” for a listing. Being my second new MINI, I've already sent a list to be connected during arrival prep at the dealer.</p>
<p>You especially won't know about them if your dealer doesn't even MENTION them, like my didn't. Wasn't until after I'd driven 90 miles home after delivery that I realized there were any options! Wish this manual would have been available before I picked up my car.</p>
<p>Gabe, </p>
<p>Is this manual a 'shop' type manual, the type that comes with torques settings and procedures for install, re-install?</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>no…this is a the regular owners manual that comes with every MINI.</p>
<p>Anyone know what “wind sheild heating” is? Just a special defrost mode, or something different?</p>
<p>Nothing seen on the LSD… too bad.</p>
