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.<
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 ca n be u sed on a MIN I saf ely a nd wit hout 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.
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 compo-
nents, 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
California law requires us to issue the following warning:
Engine exhaust and a wide variety of
automobile components and parts, including components found in the interior fur­nishings in a vehicle, contain or emit chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects and reproductive harm. In addition, certain fluids contained in vehicles and certain products of component wear contain or emit chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other repro­ductive harm.
Battery posts, terminals and related accessories contain lead and lead compounds. Wash your hands after handling.
Used engine oil contains chemicals that have caused cancer in laboratory animals. Always protect your skin by washing thoroughly with soap and water.<

Indicator and warning
lamps
The concept
Indicator and warning lamps can light up in var­ious combinations and colors in indicator area 1 or 2.
Some lamps are checked for proper functioning and thus come on briefly when the engine is started or the ignition is switched on.
What to do in case of a malfunction
A list of all indicator and warning lamps, as well as notes on possible causes of malfunctions and on how to respond, can be found starting on page 128.

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 Comfort Access remote control contains a replaceable battery, page 29.
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 20.
In addition, information about service require­ments is stored in the remote control, refer to Service data in the remote control, page 108.

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.

To avoid locking yourself out by accident, do not place the key in the cargo bay. If the splitdoor was locked before opening, it will be locked again after it is closed. Before and after each trip, check that the split­door has not been inadvertently unlocked.<
Malfunctions
The remote control may malfunction due to local radio waves. If this occurs, unlock and lock the car at the door lock with the integrated key.
If the car can no longer be locked with a remote control, the battery in the remote control is dis­charged. Use this remote control during an extended drive; this will recharge the battery, page 20.

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 tailgate by means of the button on the remote control. When you subsequently close the tailgate it is again locked and monitored.
In certain market-specific versions, unlocking via the door lock triggers the
alarm.<

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.
This prevents false alarms, e.g. in the following situations:
> 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 con-
trol twice in succession.
> Lock the vehicle twice with the inte-
grated key.
LEDs flash in short succession for approx. 2seconds. The tilt alarm sensor and the interior movement detector are switched off until the car is next unlocked and locked.

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.
Comfort Access supports the following functions:
> Unlocking/locking the vehicle
> Unlocking the splitdoor by itself
> Starting the engine
> Convenient operation
Functional requirements
> The vehicle or the splitdoor 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 splitdoor must be closed to
be able to operate the windows and glass sunroof
