Data memory
General information
Electronic control devices are installed in the vehicle. Electronic control units process data they receive from vehicle sensors, self­generate or exchange with each other. Some control units are necessary for the vehicle to function safely or provide assistance dur­ing driving, for instance driver assistance systems. Furthermore, control units facili­tate comfort or infotainment functions.
Information about stored or exchanged data can be requested from the manufacturer of the vehicle, in a separate booklet, for exam­ple.
Personal reference
Each vehicle is marked with a unique vehi­cle identification number. Depending on the country, the vehicle owner can be identified with the vehicle identification number, li­cense plate and corresponding authorities. In addition, there are other options to track data collected in the vehicle to the driver or vehicle owner, for instance via utilized services.
Operating data in the vehicle
Control units process data to operate the ve­hicle.
For example, this includes:
– Status messages for the vehicle and its
individual components, e.g., wheel rota­tional speed, wheel speed, deceleration, transverse acceleration, engaged safety belt indicator.
– Ambient conditions, e.g., temperature,
rain sensor signals.
The processed data is only processed in the vehicle itself and generally volatile. The data is not stored beyond the operating pe­riod.
Electronic components, e.g. control units and ignition keys, contain components for storing technical information. Information about the vehicle condition, component us­age, maintenance requirements events or faults can be stored temporarily or perma­nently.
This information generally records the state of a component, a module, a system, or the environment, for instance:
– Operating states of system components,
for instance, fill levels, tire inflation pressure, battery status.
– Malfunctions and faults in important
system components, for instance lights and brakes.
10
Online Edition for Part no. 01405A02680 - II/20
Page 11
Information NOTES
– Responses by the vehicle to special sit-
uations such as airbag deployment or engagement of the driving stability con­trol systems.
– Information on vehicle-damaging
events.
The data is required to perform the control unit functions. Furthermore, it also serves to recognize and correct malfunctions, and helps the vehicle manufacturer to optimize vehicle functions.
The majority of this data is volatile and is only processed within the vehicle itself. Only a small share of the data is stored event-related in event or fault memories.
When servicing, for instance during repairs, service processes, warranty cases, and qual­ity assurance measures, this technical infor­mation can be read out from the vehicle to­gether with the vehicle identification number.
A dealer’s service center or another quali­fied service center or repair shop can read out the information. The socket for OBD On­board Diagnosis required by law in the ve­hicle is used to read out the data.
The data is collected, processed, and used by the relevant organizations in the service network. The data documents technical con­ditions of the vehicle, helps with the identi­fication of the fault, compliance with war­ranty obligations and quality improvement.
Furthermore, the manufacturer has product monitoring duties to meet in line with prod­uct liability law. To fulfill these duties, the vehicle manufacturer needs technical data from the vehicle. The data from the vehicle can also be used to check customer claims for warranty and guaranty.
Fault and event memories in the vehicle can be reset when a dealer’s service center or another qualified service center or repair shop performs repair or servicing work.
Data entry and data transfer into the vehicle
General information
Depending on the vehicle equipment, com­fort and individual settings can be stored in the vehicle and modified or reset at any time.
For example, this includes:
– Settings for the seat and steering wheel
positions.
– Suspension and climate control settings.
If necessary, data can be transferred to the entertainment and communication system of the vehicle, for instance via smartphone.
This includes the following depending on the respective equipment:
– Multimedia data such as music, films or
photos for playback in an integrated
multimedia system.
– Address book data for use in conjunc-
tion with an integrated hands-free sys-
tem or an integrated navigation system.
– Entered navigation destinations. – Data on the use of Internet services.
This data can be stored locally in the vehicle or is found on a device that has been con­nected to the vehicle, e.g., a smartphone, USB stick or MP3 player. If this data is stored in the vehicle, it can be deleted at any time.
This data is only transmitted to third parties upon personal request as part of the use of online services. The transmission depends on the selected settings for the use of the services.
Incorporation of mobile devices
Depending on the vehicle equipment, mo­bile devices connected to the vehicle, for in­stance smartphones, can be controlled via the vehicle control elements.
Online Edition for Part no. 01405A02680 - II/20
11
Page 12
NOTES Information
The sound and picture from the mobile de­vice can be played back and displayed through the multimedia system. Certain in­formation is transferred to the mobile de­vice at the same time. Depending on the type of incorporation, this includes, for in­stance position data and other general vehi­cle information. This optimizes the way in which selected apps, for instance navigation or music playback, work.
There is no further interaction between the mobile device and the vehicle, such as ac­tive access to vehicle data.
How the data will be processed further is determined by the provider of the particular app being used. The extent of the possible settings depends on the respective app and the operating system of the mobile device.
Services
General information
If the vehicle has a wireless network con­nection, this enables data to be exchanged between the vehicle and other systems. The wireless network connection is realized via an in-vehicle transmitter and receiver unit or via personal mobile devices brought into the vehicle, for instance smartphones. This wireless network connection enables 'online functions' to be used. These include online services and apps supplied by the vehicle manufacturer or by other providers.
Services from the vehicle manufacturer
Where online services from the vehicle manufacturer are concerned, the corre­sponding functions are described in the ap­propriate place, for instance the Owner's Manual or manufacturer's website. The rele­vant legal information pertaining to data protection is provided there too. Personal data may be used to perform online serv­ices. Data is exchanged over a secure con-
nection, for instance with the IT systems of the vehicle manufacturer intended for this purpose.
Any collection, processing, and use of per­sonal data above and beyond that needed to provide the services must always be based on a legal permission, contractual arrange­ment or consent. It is also possible to acti­vate or deactivate the data connection as a whole. That is, with the exception of func­tions and services required by law such as Assist systems.
Services from other providers
When using online services from other pro­viders, these services are the responsibility of the relevant provider and subject to their data privacy conditions and terms of use. The vehicle manufacturer has no influence on the content exchanged during this proc­ess. Information on the way in which per­sonal data is collected and used in relation to services from third parties, the scope of such data, and its purpose, can be obtained from the relevant service provider.
Event Data Recorder EDR
This vehicle is equipped with an event data recorder EDR. The main purpose of an EDR is to record, in certain crash or near crash­like situations, such as an air bag deploy­ment or hitting a road obstacle, data that will assist in understanding how a vehicle’s systems performed. The EDR is designed to record data related to vehicle dynamics and safety systems for a short period of time, typically 30 seconds or less.
The EDR in this vehicle is designed to re­cord such data as:
– How various systems in your vehicle
were operating.
12
Online Edition for Part no. 01405A02680 - II/20
Page 13
Information NOTES
– Whether or not the driver and passen-
ger safety belts were fastened.
– How far, if at all, the driver was depress-
ing the accelerator and/or brake pedal.
– How fast the vehicle was traveling.
This data can help provide a better under­standing of the circumstances in which crashes and injuries occur.
EDR data is recorded by your vehicle only if a nontrivial crash situation occurs; no data is recorded by the EDR under normal driv­ing conditions and no personal data, for in­stance name, gender, age, and crash loca­tion, are recorded.
However, other parties, such as law enforce­ment, could combine the EDR data with the type of personally identifying data routinely acquired during a crash investigation.
To read data recorded by an EDR, special equipment is required, and access to the ve­hicle or the EDR is needed. In addition to the vehicle manufacturer, other parties, such as law enforcement, that have the spe­cial equipment, can read the information if they have access to the vehicle or the EDR.
Vehicle identification number
Engine compartment
The vehicle identification number can be found in the engine compartment, on the right-hand side of the vehicle.
Windshield
The vehicle identification number can also be found behind the windshield.

Driving
Drive-ready state
General information
When drive-ready state is switched on, the vehicle is operational.
All vehicle systems are ready for operation. Most of the indicator/warning lights in the
instrument cluster light up for a varied length of time.
Activated drive-ready state is the equiva­lent of a running engine in conventional ve­hicles. Deactivated drive-ready state is equivalent to switching the engine off.
To save battery power when parking, switch off drive-ready state and any unnecessary electronic systems/power consumers.
Drive-ready state is switched off automati­cally:
– When you lock the vehicle while low
beams are switched on.
– If the charge state of the batteries is
low.
– When opening or closing the driver
door, if the driver's safety belt is un­buckled and the low beams are switched off.
– While the driver's safety belt is unbuck-
led with driver's door open and low beams off.
After the driver's door is opened or closed or the driver's safety belt is released, the radio-ready state remains active.
Start/Stop button
Pressing the Start/Stop button switches standby state on or off.
Drive-ready state is switched
on when you depress the brake pedal while pressing the Start/Stop button.

This also applies to safety-related functions and systems. When using these functions and systems, the applicable laws and regulations must be observed.
General information
This MINI is an electric vehicle. The vehicle features a high-voltage system that consists of an electric motor and a high-voltage bat­tery among other things.
The eDRIVE system exhibits the following special features:
– The vehicle is operated emissions free
using its electrical drive system.
– The special high-voltage battery sup-
plies the electric motor as well as the comfort features with power.
– The high-voltage battery is charged via
a charging cable, for instance when parked or while driving by energy recov­ery.
– The vehicle can be charged very rapidly
at special charging stations. Charging is also possible at household power sock­ets.
– On the go, the energy recovery ensures
that only little energy is lost when brak­ing.
– When the vehicle decelerates, the elec-
tric motor acts as a generator and con-
verts the kinetic energy released into electric current.
– As a result the high-voltage battery is
partially recharged in order to reach maximum range.
Overview
1 Drive unit 2 Vehicle battery 3 High-voltage cables 4 Charging socket 5 High-voltage battery
Functions
Electric driving: eDRIVE
The vehicle is powered exclusively by the electric motor. The accelerator pedal can be used not just for acceleration, but also for deceleration. When the vehicle decelerates, the electric motor acts as a generator and charges the high-voltage battery. With a sensible driving style, this function can be used for especially efficient energy recov­ery and comfortable driving, using just the accelerator pedal.

An especially efficient operating point is so­called coasting. In this case, the vehicle is decelerated only by driving resistance and no energy flows between high-voltage bat­tery and electric motor. In order to coast, depress the accelerator pedal far enough so that the pointer in the performance display, refer to page 120, is between the areas for ePOWER and CHARGE.
Energy recovery: CHARGE
The high-voltage battery is charged while driving through energy recovery.
The electric motor acts as a generator and converts the kinetic energy of the vehicle into electrical energy.
Charging can take place in various situa­tions while the vehicle is in motion:
– As soon as the accelerator pedal is only
slightly depressed.
– As soon as the accelerator pedal is not
depressed.
The pointer in the instrument cluster is lo­cated in the CHARGE area.
Sensible driving and early speed reduction are important to make full use of the energy recovery feature.
Display
The eDRIVE displays, refer to page 120, provide information about the current state of the drive and visualize the system's use in a diagram.
Energy-saving driving and maximizing the range
Energy-saving driving is the basic prerequi­site for as large a range as possible. eDRIVE provides various functions that assist with an energy-saving driving style and help to monitor the range, and if needed, to in­crease it. The following descriptions provide an overview of the available functions and the personal measures.
Before driving
eDRIVE allows use of the air conditioner even before driving off. The stationary cli­mate control, refer to page 184, provides more range than using full air conditioning while driving.
Parked vehicle ventilation during the charg­ing process can provide maximum range when driving off.
Trip planning and special functions of the navigation system
Several special functions of the navigation system support trip planning taking into ac­count the electric range:
– Range assistant, refer to Integrated
Owner's Manual, checks whether an en­tered navigation destination can be reached. If the range is not sufficient, various recommendations to help in­crease the range are displayed automati­cally, for instance, a consumption opti­mized route based on driving in GREEN Mode is displayed.
– Range map indicates the action range
on the navigation map, refer to Integrated Owner's Manual.
– Charging assistant under Points of In-
terest in navigation, helps to find and possibly include a public charging sta-

tion in the desired route, refer to Integrated Owner's Manual.
During driving
– General driving tips, refer to page 212,
for increasing the range.
– Use the eDRIVE system efficiently, refer
to page 213, for an optimized driving style.
– MINIMALISM Analyzer, refer to
page 216, to analyze the driving style.
– GREEN and GREEN +, refer to
page 214, driving mode for increasing the range.
– Information about auxiliary users and
the range potential, refer to page 121.
After the trip
– Charge vehicle, refer to page 218, and
plan next trip.
– Prepare for long downtimes, refer to
page 266.
