Where is a 2009 MINI Cooper’s battery location?

Help! I’m renting a MINI and the battery died, so I need a jump. I’ve never driven one before, so I don’t really know my way around it—where is a 2009 MINI Cooper’s battery location?

Oh no! A 2009 MINI Cooper’s battery location is under the hood on the passenger side, close to where the engine meets the front windshield. To jumpstart, you must first remove the plastic panel covering the battery.
But, if you’re brand new to the world of MINIs, let’s backtrack a little. Here are some more detailed instructions on how to locate the battery for a jumpstart:
  • Pull the level near the footrest to unlatch the hood
  • Look for the hood safety lever on the driver’s side of the vehicle and push it upwards. This should
    open the hood
  • Look on the passenger side of the engine, closer to the front windshield (as opposed to the front bumper)
  • Remove the black plastic cover that houses the battery
And that’s all there is to it! Good luck getting your rental back on the road. When it’s time to return to your own car, you should consider downloading
