Vehicle equipment
The production date of your vehicle can be
found at the bottom of the door pillar on the
driver's door.
The production date is defined as the calendar month and the calendar year in which
the vehicle body and the powertrain assemblies are joined and the vehicle is driven or
moved from the production line.
fro
This Owner's Handbook describes all models and all the national and special equipment available for the model series. As a result, this Owner's Handbook may also
contain descriptions and illustrations of
equipment and functions not featured in
your vehicle, for example due to selected
special equipment or the country specification.
This also applies to safety-relevant functions and systems.
Comply with the relevant laws and regulations when using the corresponding functions and systems.
If certain equipment and models are not described in this Owner's Handbook, refer to
the Supplementary Owner's Handbooks provided.
In right-hand drive vehicles, some controls
are arranged differently from those shown
in the illustrations.
For Australia/New Zealand: general
When reading this Owner's Handbook,
please bear the following in mind: to ensure
that our vehicles continue to embody the
highest quality and safety standards, we
pursue a policy of continuous, ongoing development. Because modifications in the design of both vehicles and accessories may
be introduced at any time, your own vehicle's equipment may vary from that described in this handbook. For the same reason,
it is also impossible to guarantee that all descriptions will be completely accurate in all
respects.
We must therefore request your understanding of the fact that the manufacturer
of your vehicle is unable to recognise legal
claims based on discrepancies between the
data, illustrations and descriptions in this
Owner's Handbook and your own vehicle's
equipment. Please note, too, that some of
the optional equipment described in this

Should you require any further information,
please contact your Service Partner or a
qualified specialist workshop, who will be
pleased to advise you.

Manufacturer
fro
The manufacturer of this MINI is Bayerische Motoren Werke Aktiengesellschaft,
BMW AG.
Intended use
Comply with the following when using the
vehicle:
– Owner's Handbook.
– Information on the vehicle. Do not remove stickers.
– Technical data of the vehicle.
– The applicable laws and safety standards
of the country in which the vehicle is
used.
– Vehicle papers and legal documents.

Your vehicle is technically designed for the
operating conditions and approval requirements prevalent in the country to which it
was first delivered - homologation. If your
vehicle is to be operated in another country,
it may have to be adapted to any prevailing
different operating conditions and approval
requirements. If your vehicle does not comply with the homologation requirements in
a certain country you cannot lodge warranty
claims for your vehicle there. A Service
Partner is able to provide further information.
Maintenance and repairs
The advanced technology used in your vehicle, for example the state-of-the-art materials and high-performance electronics, requires suitably appropriate maintenance
and repair methods.
Consequently, the manufacturer of your vehicle recommends having corresponding
work carried out by a MINI Service Partner.
If you choose to use another specialist
workshop, the manufacturer recommends
using one that performs work such as maintenance and repair according to MINI specifications with properly trained personnel. In
this Owner's Handbook, facilities of this
kind are referred to as "another qualified
service centre or a specialist workshop".
If such work, for example maintenance and
repair, is performed inexpertly, it could result in consequential damage and thus constitute a safety risk.

for this purpose by the manufacturer of the
MINI.
You are recommended to consult a MINI

Data memory
–
Operating states of system components,
for example, fill levels, tyre inflation
pressure, battery status.
– Status messages of the vehicle and its
individual components, for example
wheel rotation speed, wheel speed, deceleration, lateral acceleration, fastened
seat belt indicator.
– Malfunctions and faults of important
system components, for example, lights
and brakes.
– Information on vehicle-damaging
events.
– Responses of the vehicle to particular
driving situations, for example, triggering of an airbag, activation of the stability control systems.
– Ambient conditions, for example temperature, rain sensor signals.
The data is required to perform the control
device functions. It is also used for detecting and rectifying malfunctions, and helps
the vehicle manufacturer to optimise 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 error memories
and, if necessary, in the vehicle key.

parts and accessories, other MINI manufacturer approved products and expert advice
on all related matters.
The safety and compatibility of these products in conjunction with MINI vehicles
have been checked by the MINI manufacturer.
The MINI manufacturer accepts product responsibility for genuine MINI parts and accessories. On the other hand, the MINI manufacturer cannot accept liability for parts or
accessory products of any kind which it has
not approved.
The MINI manufacturer is unable to assess
each individual product of outside origin as
to its suitability for use on MINI vehicles
without safety risk. Nor can suitability be
assured if an official permit has been issued
for it in a specific country. Tests performed
for such permits cannot always cover all operating conditions for MINI vehicles, and
some of them therefore are insufficient.
NOTES
A number of electronic control devices are
installed in your vehicle. Some of these are
necessary for the vehicle to function safely
or provide assistance during driving, for example Driver Assistance Systems. There are
also control devices which manage comfort
or infotainment functions.
Electronic control devices contain data
memories, which can temporarily or permanently store information about the vehicle's
condition, component use and wear, maintenance requirements, technical events and
faults.
This information generally documents the
condition of a component, a module, a system or its environment, for example:
Reading out data
When service work is being carried out,
for example repairs, service operations, warranty work and quality assurance measures,
this technical information can be read out
from the vehicle together with the vehicle
identification number. A Service Partner of
the manufacturer or another qualified Service Partner or a specialist workshop can
read out the information. The legally required on-board diagnostics (OBD) socket in
the vehicle is used to read out the data. The
data is collected, processed and used by the
relevant organisations in the service network. The data documents the technical

smartphone, USB stick or MP3 player. If this
data is saved 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 equipment, the following
comfort and individual settings can be
saved in the vehicle and modified at any
time, for example:
– Settings for the seat and steering wheel
positions.
– Suspension and climate control settings.
– Individual settings, for example interior
lighting.
Control via mobile end user devices
Depending on the equipment, mobile devices connected to the vehicle, for example
smartphones, can be controlled via the vehicle controls. Sound and images from the mobile end user 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 connection, this includes,
for example position data and other general
vehicle information. This optimises the way
in which selected apps, for example navigation or music playback, work.
There is no further interaction between the
mobile device and the vehicle, for example
active access to vehicle data. How the data
is processed further is determined by the
provider of the particular app being used.
The range of settings depends on the respective app and the operating system of
the mobile device.

conditions of the vehicle, helps in locating
faults and improving quality, and is transferred to the vehicle manufacturer, if necessary.
Furthermore, the manufacturer has product
monitoring obligations to meet in line with
product liability law. To fulfil these obligations, the vehicle manufacturer requires
technical data from the vehicle. Error and
event memories in the vehicle can be reset
when a Service Partner of the manufacturer
or another qualified Service Partner or a
specialist workshop performs repair or servicing work.
Data on service work carried out and proof
of maintenance is saved in the vehicle under the service history and transferred to
the vehicle manufacturer. The vehicle
owner can contact a Service Partner of the
manufacturer to object to the data being
saved and transferred to the vehicle manufacturer. This objection applies for as long
as the vehicle owner remains the proprietor
of the vehicle.

Data entry and data transfer into
the vehicle
Depending on the equipment, some data can
be transferred into the vehicle when using
comfort and infotainment functions, for example:
– Multimedia data such as music or films
for playback in an integrated multimedia
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.
This data may be saved locally in the vehicle or is found on a device that has been

wireless network connection is established
via an in-vehicle transmitter and receiver
unit or via personal mobile devices brought
into the vehicle, for example smartphones.
This wireless network connection enables
"online functions" to be used, depending on
the equipment installed. These include online services and apps supplied by the vehicle manufacturer or by other providers.

data privacy conditions and terms of use.
The vehicle manufacturer has no control

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.

Where online services from the vehicle
manufacturer are concerned, the relevant
functions are described in the appropriate
place, for example the Owner's Handbook or
manufacturer's website. The relevant legal
information pertaining to data protection is
also provided. Personal data may be used to
perform online services. Data is exchanged
over a secure connection, for example 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 legal permission, a contractual arrangement or consent.
In addition, the vehicle manufacturer evaluates anonymised information on transport
infrastructure 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 improve its products or
services, for example by incorporating the
most up-to-date traffic information. The
data transfer feature can be deactivated in
the vehicle. Certain services and functions,
some of which are subject to a charge, can
be deactivated by the driver. It is also possible to activate or deactivate the data connection as a whole. Excluded from this are
functions and services which are required
by law, for example emergency call systems.

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

death. Only restrain one person with each
seat belt. Do not allow infants and children
to travel on the lap of another occupant.
Instead, secure the infant or child in a
child restraint system intended for this
purpose.
WARNING
Seat belts are designed to bear upon the
body's skeleton and should be worn low
across the front of the pelvis, or lie against
pelvis, chest and shoulders, as applicable.
Do not route the lap section of the belt
across the abdomen.
Seat belts should be adjusted as firmly as
possible, consistent with comfort, to provide the protection for which they have
been designed. A slack belt will greatly reduce the protection afforded to the wearer.
Do not allow the seat belt webbing to
come into contact with polishes, oils and
chemicals and particularly battery acid. It
may be safely cleaned with a mild soap water solution. Replace the seat belt if the
webbing becomes frayed, contaminated or
damaged. Seat belts should not be worn
with seat belt straps twisted. Each seat
belt assembly must only be used by one

The camera in the area of the interior rearview mirror detects traffic signs at the edge
of the road as well as variable overhead
signs. Traffic signs with additional signs,
for example in wet conditions, are also detected, compared with internal vehicle data,
for example of the rain sensor, and displayed, depending on the situation.
If a navigation system is not installed, the
system has certain technical limitations.
Only road signs with speed limits are detected and displayed. Speed limits when driving into and leaving built-up areas and motorway signs, for example, are not displayed.
Speed limits with textual supplementary
signs are always shown.

Notes on achieving optimum airbag
effectiveness
–
–
–
Keep your distance from the airbags.
Always grip the steering wheel on the
steering wheel rim. Place your hands in
the 3 o'clock and 9 o'clock positions to
minimise the risk of injury to hands or
arms when the airbag deploys.
Make sure that the front-seat passenger
is sitting correctly, in other words with
feet or legs in the footwell, not resting
them on the dashboard.
Make sure that vehicle occupants keep
their head away from the side airbag.
Do not position any other persons, animals or objects between the airbags and
persons.
Keep the dashboard and windscreen in
the area of the passenger's side free, for
example do not attach adhesive foil or
covers and do not fit brackets for navigation devices or mobile telephones.
fro
–
Do not attach anything to the airbag
covers with adhesive; never cover them
or modify them in any way.
– Do not use the front airbag cover on the
front passenger's side as a tray.
– Covers, seat covers, cushions or other
objects not specifically suitable for seats
with integral side airbags must not be
fitted to the front seats.
– Seat covers, cushions or other objects
not specifically suitable for seats with
integral side airbags must not be fitted
to the front seats.
– Do not hang items of clothing such as
coats or jackets over the backrests.
– Do not modify individual components of
the system or its wiring in any way. This
also applies to the covers of the steering
wheel, the dashboard and seats.
– Do not dismantle the airbag system.
Even if all these notes are complied with,
depending on the circumstances in which
an accident occurs, certain injuries as a result of contact with the airbag cannot be entirely ruled out.
The noise caused by the deployment of an
airbag may lead to temporary hearing loss
for vehicle occupants sensitive to noise.

Possible driving distance with a deflated
tyre
The possible driving distance varies depending on the load and stresses the vehicle
is subjected to, for example speed, road
properties, outside temperature. The driving
distance can be shorter or, if the driving
style is more careful, longer.
If the vehicle is moderately loaded and used
under favourable conditions, it is possible
to travel up to 80 km, 50 miles.
Temperature
The tyre inflation pressure depends on the
temperature of the tyre.
The tyre inflation pressure increases as the
tyre temperature increases, for example
during driving or due to exposure to sunlight.
Tyre inflation pressure decreases if the tyre
temperature drops.
Through this behaviour, a warning may be
triggered if there are major temperature
drops, due to the given warning limits.

DSC detects the following unstable driving
conditions, for example:
– Loss of traction at the rear which can
lead to oversteer.
– Loss of grip of the front wheels which
can lead to understeer.
Dynamic Traction Control DTC, see
page 171, is a variant of DSC optimised for

fro
ABS prevents the wheels from locking when
the brakes are applied.
Steering control is retained even in the
event of full braking, thereby enhancing active road safety.
ABS is ready to operate each time the engine is started.
When the brake is pressed quickly, this system automatically applies maximum braking
power assistance. With full braking, this
keeps the braking distance as short as possible. It also makes full use of the advantages offered by the Anti-lock Brake System
ABS.
The pressure on the brake should be maintained for the duration of the full-braking
process.

may also be described here. This also applies to safety-relevant functions and systems. Comply with the relevant laws and
regulations when using the corresponding
functions and systems.
General
A camera on the rearview mirror is used to
detect a vehicle in front.
Characteristics of Cruise Control may
change in certain areas depending on vehicle setting.
fro
This system allows you to set a desired
speed and a desired distance from the vehicle in front, using the buttons on the steering wheel.
When the road ahead is clear, the system
maintains the desired speed by braking or
accelerating the vehicle automatically, as
required.
If there is a vehicle driving in front, the system adapts your own vehicle's speed in order to maintain the set distance from the
vehicle ahead. The speed is adapted as far
as the given situation allows.
The distance can be set in several stages,
and is dependent on the particular speed for
reasons of safety.
With the Stop&Go function and Steptronic
transmission: if the vehicle ahead brakes to
a standstill and sets off again shortly afterwards, the system can comprehend this
within the given context.
WARNING
The desired speed can be inadvertently set
or called up incorrectly. There is a danger
of accidents. Adjust the desired speed to
the traffic conditions. Observe the traffic
situation and intervene actively if the situation warrants it.
WARNING
There is a danger of accidents if the difference in speed relative to other vehicles is
excessively high. This may occur, for example, in the following situations:
– When quickly approaching a slowly

If the desired speed is too high for cornering, it will be reduced slightly in the corner.
However, the system does not detect corners in advance. For this reason, moderate
your speed when cornering.
The system has a limited detection range.
Situations can arise on tight bends where a
vehicle driving in front will not be detected
or will be detected very late.
Brief interruptions when vehicles have
already been detected.
Examples of unfavourable weather or lighting conditions:
– Wet roads.
– Snowfall.
– Slush.
– Fog.
– Oncoming light.
Pay attention when driving and respond to
the prevailing traffic conditions. If necessary, intervene actively, for example by
braking, steering or manoeuvring.

Malfunction
When your vehicle is approaching a bend,
the angle of the bend may cause the system
to respond temporarily to vehicles in the
other lane. A possible reduction in the vehicle's speed by the system can be compensated for by briefly accelerating. When the accelerator pedal is released again, the system
will resume control of the vehicle's speed.
Weather
A Check Control message is displayed if the
system has failed or has been automatically
deactivated.
The system may have limited functionality
in the following situations, for example:
– If an object has not been correctly detected.
– In thick fog, wet conditions or snow.
– On sharp bends.
– If the field of view of the camera or the
windscreen is dirty or covered.
– With bright oncoming light.
– Up to 20 seconds after starting the engine using the start/stop button.
– During the camera calibration process
immediately after vehicle delivery.
The following restrictions may apply if the
weather or lighting conditions are unfavourable:
– Impaired detection of vehicles.

Park Distance Control PDC
Principle
PDC provides assistance when parking the
vehicle. The system detects objects behind
the vehicle. If the vehicle is equipped with
front PDC, objects in front of the vehicle are
detected too. Objects being approached
slowly are indicated by acoustic signals and
a visual display.
184
The ultrasonic sensors for measuring the
distances are located in the bumpers.
Their range is approximately 2 m, approximately 6 ft depending on the obstacle and
environment.
An acoustic warning is only issued in the
following situations:
– From the centre sensors at the front and
the corner sensors at a distance of approximately 60 cm, approximately 24 in
from the object.
– From the middle sensors at the rear at a
distance of approximately 1.50 m, approximately 5 ft from the object.
– If there is a collision risk.

Automatic air recirculation control,
AUC/recirculated-air mode
Switching on/off
Principle
Automatic air recirculation control AUC detects pollutants in the outside air. The supply of outside air is shut off and the interior
air is recirculated.
fro
General
When the system is activated, a sensor detects pollutants in the outside air and controls the shut-off automatically.
When the system is deactivated, outside air
flows into the interior continuously.
Continuous recirculated-air mode deteriorates the air quality in the interior and condensation on the windows increases.
If the air outside the vehicle has an unpleasant odour or contains pollutants, the supply
to the interior of the vehicle can be shut off.
The air inside the vehicle is then recirculated.

To adjust the air flow manually
Principle
The air flow for air conditioning can be set
manually.
General
To be able to adjust the air flow manually,
first switch off the AUTO program.
Operation
Turn the wheel to set the desired air flow.
Manually set air flow is displayed by illuminated LED segments.
In order to protect the battery the air flow
rate of the automatic air conditioning is reduced, if necessary.
