Bear in mind that the manual may contain information on accessories and equipment that you have not specified for your own vehicle. Sections describing options and special equipment are marked by asterisks * to assist you in identifying possible differences between the descriptions in this manual and your own vehicle's equipment.

If your MINI features equipment not described in this Owner's Manual, observe the enclosed Supplementary Owner's Manuals.

STATUS OF THIS OWNER'S MANUAL AT TIME OF PRINTING

The high level of safety and quality of the MINI vehicles is ensured through continuous development. In rare cases, there may be differences between the description and the vehicle.

FOR YOUR SAFETY

Maintenance and repair

Advanced technology, e.g. the use of modern materials and high-performance

electronics, requires specially adapted maintenance and repair methods. Therefore, have the necessary work on your MINI only carried out by a MINI dealer or a workshop that has specially trained personnel working in accordance with the specifications of the MINI manufacturer. If this work is not carried out properly, there is a danger of subsequent damage and related safety hazards.

Parts and accessories

For your own safety, use genuine parts and accessories approved by the manufacturer of the MINI.

When you purchase accessories tested and approved by the manufacturer of the MINI and Original MINI Parts, you simultaneously acquire the assurance that they have been thoroughly tested by the manufacturer of the MINI to ensure optimum performance when installed on your vehicle.

The manufacturer of the MINI warrants these parts to be free from defects in material and workmanship.

The manufacturer of the MINI will not accept any liability for damage resulting from installation of parts and accessories not approved by the manufacturer of the MINI.

The manufacturer of the MINI cannot test every product made by other manufacturers to verify if it can be used on a MINI safely and without risk to either the vehicle, its operation, or its occupants.

Original MINI Parts, MINI Accessories and other products approved by the manufacturer of the MINI, together with professional advice on using these items, are available from all MINI dealers.

Installation and operation of accessories that have not been approved by the manufacturer of your MINI, such as alarms, radios, amplifiers, radar detectors, wheels, suspension components, brake dust shields, telephones, including operation of any mobile phone from within the vehicle without using an externally mounted antenna, or transceiver equipment, for instance, CBs, walkie-talkies, ham radios or similar accessories, may cause extensive damage to the vehicle, compromise its safety, interfere with the vehicle's electrical system or affect the validity of the MINI Limited Warranty. See your MINI dealer for additional information.

Maintenance, replacement, or repair of the emission control devices and systems may be performed by any automotive repair establishment or individual using any certified automotive part.

California Proposition 65 warning

Always speak the commands in the language of the voice activation system.
When selecting a radio station, use the standard pronunciation of the station name.
Keep the doors, windows and glass roof* closed to prevent interference from outside noise.
Avoid ambient noise in the vehicle while speaking.

General information

Each remote control contains a rechargeable battery that is recharged when it is in the ignition lock while the car is being driven. You should therefore use each remote control at least twice a year to maintain the charge status. In vehicles equipped with Comfort Access*, the remote control contains a replaceable battery, page 34.

If more than one remote control unit is used, the settings called up and implemented depend on which remote control is recognized when the car is unlocked, refer to Personal Profile, page 26.

In addition, information about service requirements is stored in the remote control, refer to Service data in the remote control, page 202.

New remote controls

Your MINI dealer can supply new remote controls as additional units or as replacements in the event of loss.

PERSONAL PROFILE

The concept

The functions of your MINI can be set individually. By means of Personal Profiles, most of these settings are stored for the remote control currently in use. When you unlock the car, the remote control is recognized and the settings stored for it are called up and implemented.

This means that your settings will be activated for you, even if in the meantime your car was used by someone else with another remote control and the corresponding settings.

At most three remote controls can be set for three different people. A prerequisite is that each person uses a separate remote control.

ALARM SYSTEM\*

The concept

The alarm system, when activated, reacts if:

A door, the engine compartment lid or the liftgate is opened
There is movement inside the car
The car's inclination changes, for instance if an attempt is made to jack it up and steal the wheels or to raise it prior to towing away
There is an interruption in the power supply from the battery

The alarm system briefly indicates unauthorized entry or tampering by means of:

An acoustic alarm
▶ Switching on the hazard warning flashers

Arming and disarming

Whenever the car is locked or unlocked, the alarm system is armed or disarmed.

Even when the alarm system is armed, you can open the liftgate by means of the button on the remote control.

When you subsequently close the liftgate it is again locked and monitored.

In certain market-specific versions, unlocking via the door lock triggers the

alarm.

Panic mode\*

You can activate the alarm system if you find yourself in a dangerous situation.

Press the button for at least two seconds.

Switching off the alarm:

Press any button.

The interior movement detector is not activated.

▶ LEDs go out after the vehicle is unlocked: No attempt was made to tamper with the car.
▶ LEDs flash after unlocking until the key is inserted in the ignition, but for no longer than approx. 5 minutes: an attempt was made to tamper with the car.

Tilt alarm sensor

The vehicle's inclination is monitored. The alarm is triggered, for instance, if an attempt is made to steal the car's wheels or tow it away.

Interior movement detector

Before the interior movement detector can operate correctly, the windows and glass roof must be closed.

Avoiding false alarms

The tilt alarm sensor and the interior movement detector can be switched off together.

In duplex garages
When being transported on car-carrying trains, ferries or trailers
▶ If pets are to remain inside the car

Switching off the tilt alarm sensor and interior movement detector

Press the button on the remote control twice in succession.
▷ Lock the vehicle twice with the integrated key.

COMFORT ACCESS\*

Comfort Access enables you to enter your vehicle without having to hold the remote control in your hand. All you need to do is wear the remote control close to your body, e.g. in your jacket pocket. The vehicle automatically detects the remote control within the immediate vicinity or in the passenger compartment.

Functional requirements

The vehicle or the Split Rear Barn Doors can only be locked when the vehicle detects that the remote control currently in use is outside of the vehicle.
The vehicle cannot be locked or unlocked again until after approx. 2 seconds.
The engine can only be started when the vehicle detects that the remote control is inside the vehicle.
The doors and Split Rear Barn Doors must be closed to be able to operate the windows and glass roof*.

Comfort Access supports the following functions:

▶ Unlocking/locking the vehicle
▶ Unlocking the Split Rear Barn Doors separately
Starting the engine

Comparison to standard remote controls
