For Your Own Safety

Manufacturer

The manufacturer of this MINI is Bayerische Motoren Werke Aktionengesellschaft, BMW AG.

Warranty

Your vehicle is technically configured for the operating conditions and registration require‐ ments applying in the country of first delivery, also known as homologation. If your vehicle is to be operated in a different country it might be necessary to adapt your vehicle to poten‐ tially differing operating conditions and regis‐ tration requirements. If your vehicle does not comply with the homologation requirements in a certain country you may not be able to lodge warranty claims for your vehicle there. Further information on warranty is available from a dealer’s service center.

Maintenance and repairs

Advanced technology, e. g. the use of modern materials and high-performance electronics, requires suitable maintenance and repair work.

The manufacturer of your vehicle recommends that you entrust corresponding procedures to a MINI dealer’s service center. If you choose to use another service facility, the manufacturer of your vehicle recommends use of a facility that performs work, for instance maintenance and repair, according to MINI specifications with properly trained personnel, referred to in this Owner's Manual as "another qualified service center or repair shop".

If work is performed improperly, for instance maintenance and repair, there is a risk of sub‐ sequent damage and related safety risks.

▷ New Vehicle Limited Warranty.

▷ Rust Perforation Limited Warranty.

▷ Federal Emissions System Defect Warranty.

▷ Federal Emissions Performance Warranty.

▷ California Emission Control System Limited

Warranty.

Detailed information about these warranties is listed in the Service and Warranty Information Booklet for US models or in the Warranty and Service Guide Booklet for Canadian models.

Your vehicle has been specifically adapted and designed to meet the particular operating con‐ ditions and homologation requirements in your country and continental region in order to de‐ liver the full driving pleasure while the vehicle is operated under those conditions. If you wish to operate your vehicle in another country or re‐ gion, you may be required to adapt your vehi‐ cle to meet different prevailing operating con‐ ditions and homologation requirements. You should also be aware of any applicable war‐ ranty limitations or exclusions for such country or region. In such case, please contact Cus‐ tomer Relations for further information.

Maintenance

Maintain the vehicle regularly to sustain the road safety, operational reliability and the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.

Specifications for required maintenance meas‐ ures:

▷ MINI Maintenance system.

▷ Service and Warranty Information Booklet

for US models.

▷ Warranty and Service Guide Booklet for

Canadian models.

If the vehicle is not maintained according to these specifications, this could result in serious damage to the vehicle. Such damage is not covered by the MINI New Vehicle Limited War‐ ranty.

Data memory

General information

Electronic control devices are installed in the vehicle. Some of these are necessary for the ve‐ hicle to function safely or provide assistance during driving, for instance driver assistance

Online Edition for Part no. 01402983594 - X/17

Page 10

Information

systems. Furthermore, control devices facilitate comfort or infotainment functions.

Electronic control devices contain data memo‐ ries, which are able to temporarily or perma‐ nently store information about the condition of the vehicle, component load, maintenance re‐ quirements, technical events or faults.

This information generally records the state of a component, a module, a system or the environ‐ ment, for instance:

▷ Operating states of system components,

e.g., fill levels, tire inflation pressure, bat‐ tery status.

▷ Status messages for the vehicle and its indi‐

vidual components, e.g., wheel rotational speed, wheel speed, deceleration, trans‐ verse acceleration, engaged safety belt in‐ dicator.

▷ Malfunctions and faults in important system

components, for instance lights and brakes.

▷ Information on vehicle-damaging events.

▷ Responses by the vehicle to special situa‐

tions such as airbag deployment or en‐ gagement of the stability control systems.

▷ Ambient conditions, e.g., temperature, rain

sensor signals.

The data is required to perform the control de‐ vice 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 transient and is only processed within the vehicle itself. Only a small proportion of the data is stored in event or fault memories and, if needed, in the vehicle key.

Reading out data

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 cen‐

ter or repair shop can read out the information. The socket for OBD Onboard Diagnosis re‐ quired 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 serv‐ ice network. The data documents the technical conditions of the vehicle, helps in locating faults and improving quality, and is transferred to the vehicle manufacturer, if needed.

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. Fault and event memories in the vehi‐ cle can be reset when a dealer’s service center or another qualified service center or repair shop performs repair or servicing work.

Data on the scope of servicing work performed and maintenance records are stored in the ve‐ hicle by means of the service history and trans‐ ferred to the vehicle manufacturer. The vehicle owner can contact a dealer's service center to object to the data being stored and transferred to the vehicle manufacturer. This objection ap‐ plies for as long as the vehicle owner remains the proprietor of the vehicle.

Data entry and data transfer into the vehicle

General information

Depending on the vehicle equipment, some data can be transferred into the vehicle when using comfort and infotainment functions, for instance:

▷ Multimedia data such as music, films or

photos for playback in an integrated multi‐ media system.

▷ Address book data for use in conjunction

with an integrated hands-free system or an integrated navigation system.

▷ Entered navigation destinations.

▷ Data on the use of Internet services.

Online Edition for Part no. 01402983594 - X/17

Page 11

Information

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 if expressly desired. This depends on the personal settings selected for using online services.

Depending on the vehicle equipment, the fol‐ lowing comfort and individual settings can be stored in the vehicle and modified at any time, for instance:

▷ Settings for the seat and steering wheel po‐

sitions.

▷ Suspension and climate control settings.

▷ Individual settings, for instance lighting in

the car's interior.

Control via mobile devices

Depending on the vehicle equipment, mobile devices connected to the vehicle, for instance smartphones, can be controlled via the vehicle control elements. The sound and picture from the mobile device can be played back and dis‐ played through the multimedia system. Certain information is transferred to the mobile device at the same time. Depending on the type of connection, 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 mo‐ bile device and the vehicle, for instance 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 connec‐ tion, this enables data to be exchanged be‐ tween the vehicle and other systems. The wire‐ less network connection is realized via an invehicle transmitter and receiver unit or via personal mobile devices brought into the vehi‐ cle, for instance smartphones. This wireless net‐ work 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 manu‐ facturer are concerned, the corresponding functions are described in the appropriate place, for instance the Owner's Manual or man‐ ufacturer's website. The relevant legal informa‐ tion pertaining to data protection is provided there too. Personal data may be used to per‐ form online services. Data is exchanged over a secure connection, for instance with the IT sys‐ tems 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 ar‐ rangement or consent.

In addition, the vehicle manufacturer evaluates anonymized information on transport infra‐ structure and how the infotainment system is used. This information cannot be traced back to individual vehicles or people. Evaluating the data enables the manufacturer to further im‐ prove its products or services, for instance by incorporating the most up-to-date traffic bulle‐ tins. The data transfer feature can be deacti‐ vated in the vehicle. Certain services and func‐ tions, some of which are subject to a charge, can be deactivated by the driver. It is also pos‐ sible to activate or deactivate the data connec‐ tion as a whole. That is, with the exception of

Online Edition for Part no. 01402983594 - X/17

Page 12

Information

functions and services required by law such as Assist systems.

Services from other providers

When using online services from other provid‐ ers, these services are the responsibility of the relevant provider and subject to their data pri‐ vacy 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 re‐ corder EDR. The main purpose of an EDR is to record, in certain crash or near crash-like situa‐ tions, such as an air bag deployment or hitting a road obstacle, data that will assist in under‐ standing 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.

▷ Whether or not the driver and passenger

safety belts were fastened.

▷ How far, if at all, the driver was depressing

the accelerator and/or brake pedal.

▷ How fast the vehicle was traveling.

This data can help provide a better understand‐ ing 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 re‐ corded by the EDR under normal driving condi‐ tions and no personal data, for instance name, gender, age, and crash location, are recorded.

However, other parties, such as law enforce‐ ment, could combine the EDR data with the type of personally identifying data routinely ac‐ quired during a crash investigation.

To read data recorded by an EDR, special equipment is required, and access to the vehi‐ cle or the EDR is needed. In addition to the ve‐ hicle 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

The vehicle identification number can be found in the engine compartment, on the right-hand side of the vehicle.

The vehicle identification number can be found on the type label, on the right-hand side of the vehicle.

Online Edition for Part no. 01402983594 - X/17

Page 13

The vehicle identification number can also be found behind the windshield.

Vehicle features and op‐ tions

Hybrid system

Concept

This MINI is a hybrid vehicle. In addition to the combustion engine, the vehicle features a highvoltage system that consists of an electric mo‐ tor and a high-voltage battery among other things.

The hybrid system can move the vehicle purely electrically. It can also support the combustion engine in certain situations.

The vehicle can be charged, refer to page 218, via the charging socket at charging stations or household sockets.

Overview

1 Combustion engine

2 Control-system electronics, electric motor

3 Electric motor

4 High-voltage cables: orange

5 High-voltage battery

6 Charging socket

7 Vehicle battery

Functions while driving

General information

The vehicle does not consume any fuel while driving purely electrically. This enables environ‐ mentally friendly driving without emissions in inner-city traffic. If the combustion engine is used, the hybrid system support reduces fuel consumption even further.

In addition to this, the electric motor acts as an alternator: during braking and coasting, it con‐ verts the vehicle's kinetic energy into electrical energy. The electrical energy is stored in the high-voltage battery and is used to drive the electric motor.

Online Edition for Part no. 01402983594 - X/17

Electric driving: ePOWER.

Under certain conditions, refer to page 93, the vehicle is powered only by the electric mo‐ tor.

Variable drive type

The combustion engine drives the front axle and the electric motor the rear axle. Depending on the operating condition, the vehicle has the options of front-wheel drive, rear-wheel drive or bundled for four-wheel drive.

Follow the information about electric driving ePOWER, driving with the combustion engine POWER, and the driving stability control sys‐ tems.

Page 48

AT A GLANCE

MINI eDRIVE

Assistance from the electric motor

Driving off and accelerating require a lot of en‐ ergy.

To optimize acceleration and to reduce fuel consumption, the electric motor boosts the combustion engine, refer to page 95. To do this, the electric motor uses the energy saved in the high-voltage battery.

Driving with the combustion engine: POWER

The combustion engine, refer to page 94, provides the main drive power to move the ve‐ hicle. If necessary, the high-voltage battery is charged at the same time.

The hybrid system always starts the combus‐ tion engine automatically.

Auto Start/Stop function, coasting

The Auto Start/Stop function, refer to page 92, switches the combustion engine off while the vehicle is moving, when braking, when rolling to a halt, and while the vehicle is stopped. The condition of rolling with the com‐ bustion engine switched off is referred to as coasting. Convenience functions such as the automatic climate control are supplied by the high-voltage battery and can remain switched on.

Energy recovery: CHARGE

The high-voltage battery of the hybrid system is charged through energy recovery while driving.

The electric motor acts as a generator and con‐ verts the kinetic energy of the vehicle into elec‐ trical energy, refer to page 95.

Charging the vehicle

The high-voltage battery of the vehicle can be charged, refer to page 218, via the charging socket at charging stations or household sock‐ ets.

Regular and complete charging of the highvoltage battery reduces the fuel consumption by using electric energy.

Climate control while parking and charging

The hybrid system makes it possible to operate the automatic climate control prior to driving off and with the combustion engine switched off.

During vehicle charging or if the high-voltage battery is sufficiently charged, the car's interior can be can be cooled or heated in advance of the trip, refer to page 224.

The stationary climate control can also be switched on directly.

Display

The displays of the hybrid system provide infor‐ mation about the current state of hybrid opera‐ tion.

Energy-saving driving

To save energy while driving, read the following descriptions:

▷ Saving fuel, refer to page 211.

▷ Using the hybrid system efficiently, refer to

page 212.

▷ GREEN Mode.

▷ Adapting to the course of the road.

Safety of the hybrid system

Follow the information on safety, refer to page 49.

Long-term vehicle storage

Observe the information on vehicle storage and for longer idle periods, refer to page 275.

Driver profile

Concept

In the driver profiles, individual settings for sev‐ eral drivers can be stored and called up again when required.

General information

There are three driver profiles with which per‐ sonal vehicle settings can be stored. Every re‐ mote control has one of these driver profiles assigned.

If the vehicle is unlocked using a remote con‐ trol, the assigned personal driver profile will be activated. All settings stored in the driver profile are automatically applied.

If several drivers use their own remote control, the vehicle will adjust the personal settings dur‐ ing unlocking. These settings are also restored, if the vehicle has been used in the meantime by a person with a different remote control.

Changes to the settings are automatically stored in the driver profile currently activated.

If another driver profile is selected via the Cen‐ tral Information Display (CID), the settings stored in it will be applied automatically. The new driver profile is assigned to the remote control currently used.

There is an additional guest profile available that is not assigned to any remote control: it can be used to apply settings in the vehicle without changing the personal driver profiles.

Functional requirements

For the system to be able to identify the driver profile associated to a particular driver, the de‐ tected remote control must be clearly allocated to the driver.

This is the case when:

▷ The driver is only carrying his or her own re‐

mote control.

▷ The driver unlocks the vehicle.

way for a later point in the trip, for instance.

This charging process increases the average fuel consumption.

The acceleration boost by the electric motor may be restricted.

The function is only available if sufficient fuel is available and in selector lever position D.

Activating SAVE BATTERY

Press the button down repeatedly, un‐ til SAVE with the battery symbol is dis‐

played in the instrument cluster.

When pressing the button, the current eDRIVE setting is graphically displayed on the Control Display.

Auto Start/Stop function, coasting

After coasting, the combustion or electric mo‐ tor restarts depending on the operating state.

Acoustic pedestrian protection

Concept

Depending on the country-specific version, the system generates a continuous driving noise at standstill with the drive-ready state activated and during electric driving up to approx. 20 mph/30 km/h.

A speaker system broadcasts the noise to the surroundings.

As a result, other traffic participants, for in‐ stance pedestrians or cyclists, can better per‐ ceive the vehicle.

Driving with the combus‐ tion engine: POWER

Concept

The combustion engine provides the main drive power to move the vehicle. If necessary, the high-voltage battery is charged at the same time.

Concept

The combustion engine is automatically stop‐ ped and disengaged from the drivetrain. This driving condition of rolling is referred to as coasting.

Functional requirements

Coasting is possible:

▷ The high-voltage battery is sufficiently

charged.

▷ Transmission position D is engaged.

▷ The drive system is at operating tempera‐

ture.

▷ GREEN Mode: when coasting, without oper‐

ating the brake, at speeds below 100 mph, approx. 160 km/h.

Functional requirements

Automatic starting while driving

The combustion engine is automatically started under the following conditions while driving:

▷ During intense accelerations or on uphill

grades.

▷ By pressing the accelerator pedal beyond

the resistance point at the full throttle posi‐ tion, kickdown.

▷ The high-voltage battery has an insufficient

charge.

▷ Selector lever position M/S is engaged.

▷ The speed for electric driving is exceeded

while accelerating.

CONTROLS

▷ Adapting to the course of the road when

destination guidance is activated.

▷ System-related requirement for hybrid

components.

Automatic switching off while driving

When reducing speed, the combustion engine is switched off when the conditions for electric driving, refer to page 93, are met.

Assistance from the elec‐ tric motor

Concept

The combustion engine provides the main drive power to move the vehicle.

The electric motor provides assistance as needed with additional propulsive power.

eASSIST

During normal vehicle operation, the electric motor assists the combustion engine, depend‐ ing on the situation. This assistance reduces fuel consumption.

eBOOST

Accelerating quickly, such as when passing, re‐ quires the maximum available power from the electric motor. To do this, apply extra force to the accelerator pedal.

Energy recovery: CHARGE

Concept

The hybrid system makes it possible to convert kinetic energy into electrical energy during braking and coasting. This recovered energy charges the high-voltage battery. If necessary, this stored electrical energy is output to the electric motor.

General information

Depending on the setting of the MINI Driving Modes switch, the high-voltage battery is charged at different speeds and the vehicle is decelerated differently while coasting.

Functional requirements

Conditions such as the following must be met to recover kinetic energy:

▷ The vehicle is moving.

▷ Selector lever position D, M/S is set.

▷ The high-voltage battery is not fully

charged.

Displays in the instrument cluster

Energy recovery displays in the instrument clus‐ ter, refer to page 111.

Parking brake

Concept

The parking brake is used to prevent the vehi‐ cle from rolling when it is parked.

Safety information

WARNING

An unsecured vehicle can begin to move and possibly roll away. There is a risk of an acci‐ dent. Before exiting, secure the vehicle against rolling.

In order to ensure that the vehicle is secured against rolling away, follow the following:

▷ Set the parking brake.

▷ On uphill grades or on a downhill slope,

turn the front wheels in the direction of the curb.

▷ On uphill grades or on a downhill slope,

also secure the vehicle, for instance with a wheel chock.◀
