For your safety

Maintenance and repair
Advanced technology, e.g. the use of
modern materials and powerful 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.<
including operation of any mobile phone from within the vehicle without using an externally mounted antenna, or transceiver eq uipment, 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.<
Parts and accessories
For your own safety, use genuine parts and accessories approved by the manu-
facturer 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 ca n be us ed on a MINI s afel y and withou t ris k 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.

The concept

The voice command system allows you to con­trol operation of various vehicle systems without removing your hands from the steering wheel.
Individual menu items on the Control Display can be spoken as commands. It is not necessary to use the MINI joystick.
The voice command system transforms oral commands into control signals for the selected systems and provides support in the form of instructions or questions.
Precondition
Via the onboard monitor, select the language in which the voice command system is operating, so that the spoken commands can be identified. Setting the onboard monitor language, page 68.

For information on voice control of the telephone, refer also to the separate
Owner's Manual.<
For voice commands, bear in mind the follow­ing:
> Pronounce the commands and digits
smoothly and at normal volume, avoiding excessive emphases and pauses. The same applies to spelling when entering a destina­tion for navigation.
> Always speak the commands in the lan-
guage of the voice command system.
> When selecting a radio station, use the stan-
dard pronunciation of the station name.
> Keep the doors, windows and glass sunroof
closed to prevent interference from outside noise.
> Avoid ambient noise in the vehicle while
speaking.

Keys/remote controls

Remote control
Each remote control contains a rechargeable battery that is recharged when it is in the igni-

tion 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 convenient access the remote control contains a replaceable bat­tery, page 34.
If more than one remote control 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 174.
New remote controls
Your MINI Dealer can supply new remote con­trols as additional units or as replacements in the event of loss.
Integrated key

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.
