rear view mirror MINI 3 door 2014 User Guide

Driving comfortVehicle features and op‐
tions
This chapter describes all standard, country-
specific and optional features offered with the
series. It also describes features that are not
necessarily available in your car, e. g., due to
the selected options or country versions. This
also applies to safety-related functions and sys‐
tems.
Camera-based cruise con‐
trol, ACC
The concept Use this system to select a desired speed that
the vehicle will maintain automatically on clear
roads.
To the extent possible, the system automati‐
cally adjusts the speed to a slower vehicle
ahead of you.
A camera on the interior rear view mirror is
used to detect vehicles driving ahead.
The distance that the vehicle maintains to the
vehicle ahead of you can be varied.
For safety reasons, it depends on the speed.
To maintain a certain distance, the system au‐
tomatically decelerates, applies the brakes
lightly, or accelerates again if the vehicle ahead
begins moving faster.
As soon as the road is clear, the vehicle acceler‐
ates to the desired speed.
The speed is also maintained downhill, but may
not be maintained uphill if engine power is in‐
sufficient.General information
The system is functional at speeds beginning at
approx. 20 mph/30 km/h.
Depending on the set drive mode, refer to
page 111, the features of the cruise control can
change in certain areas.
Hints Personal responsibility
Even an active system holds the driver re‐
sponsible for his or her driving, particularly for
staying in your lane, adjusting your speed,
keeping your distance and for your driving style
all in relation to traffic.
Technically the system has its limits, it cannot
independently react to all traffic situations.
Monitor your driving, be on the alert, observe
the vehicle surroundings and other traffic and
react when needed, e.g. through braking,
steering or make evasive maneuvers - risk of
accident. ◀
Unfavorable weather conditions
In the event of unfavorable weather and
light conditions, for instance if there is rain,
snowfall, slush, fog or glare, this may result in
poorer recognition of traffic situations as well
as short-term interruptions for vehicles that are
already detected. Drive attentively, and react to
the current traffic situation. Intervene actively
when necessary, e.g., by braking, steering or
making an evasive maneuver, otherwise, there
is the risk of an accident. ◀Seite 113Driving comfortCONTROLS113

tions
This chapter describes all standard, country-
specific and optional features offered with the
series. It also describes features that are not
necessarily available in your car, e. g., due to
the selected options or country versions. This
also applies to safety-related functions and sys‐
tems.
Universal Integrated Re‐
mote Control
The concept
The Universal Integrated Remote Control can
operate up to 3 functions of remote-controlled
systems such as garage door drives or lighting
systems. The Universal Integrated Remote Con‐
trol replaces up to 3 different hand-held trans‐
mitters. To operate the remote control, the but‐
tons on the interior rearview mirror must be
programmed with the desired functions. The
hand-held transmitter for the particular system
is required in order to program the remote con‐
trol.
During programming
During programming and before activat‐
ing a device using the universal garage door
opener, ensure that there are no people, ani‐
mals or objects in the area of the remote-con‐
trolled device; otherwise, there is a risk of injury
or damage.
Also follow the safety instructions of the hand-
held transmitter. ◀
Before selling the vehicle, delete the stored
functions for the sake of security.Compatibility
If this symbol is printed on the packag‐
ing or in the instructions of the system
to be controlled, the system is generally
compatible with the Universal Integrated Re‐
mote Control.

Programming
General information
1.Switch on the ignition.2.Initial setup:
Press and hold the left and right button on
the interior rearview mirror simultaneously
for approximately 20 seconds until the LED
on the interior rearview mirror flashes. This
erases all programming of the buttons on
the interior rearview mirror.Seite 137Interior equipmentCONTROLS137
Online Edition for Part no. 01 40 2 957 280 - X/14

3.Hold the hand-held transmitter for the sys‐
tem to be controlled approx. 1 to 3 in/2.5
to 8 cm away from the buttons of the inte‐
rior rearview mirror. The required distance
depends on the manual transmitter.4.Simultaneously press and hold the button
of the desired function on the hand-held
transmitter and the button to be program‐
med on the interior rearview mirror. The
LED on the interior rearview mirror will be‐
gin flashing slowly.5.Release both buttons as soon as the LED
flashes more rapidly. The LED flashing
faster indicates that the button on the inte‐
rior rearview mirror has been programmed.
If the LED does not flash faster after at least
60 seconds, change the distance between
the interior rearview mirror and the hand-
held transmitter and repeat the step. Sev‐
eral more attempts at different distances
may be necessary. Wait at least 15 seconds
between attempts.6.To program other functions on other but‐
tons, repeat steps 3 to 5.
The systems can be controlled using the interior
rearview mirror buttons.
Special feature of the alternating-code
wireless system
If you are unable to operate the system after
repeated programming, please check if the sys‐
tem to be controlled features an alternating-
code system.
Read the system's operating manual, or press
the programmed button on the interior rear‐
view mirror longer. If the LED on the interior
rearview mirror starts flashing rapidly and then
stays lit constantly for 2 seconds, the system
features an alternating-code system. Flashing
and continuous illumination of the LED will re‐
peat for approximately 20 seconds.
For systems with an alternating-code system,
the Universal Integrated Remote Control and
the system also have to be synchronized.
Please read the operating manual to find out
how to synchronize the system.
Synchronizing is easier with the aid of a second
person.
To synchronize:1.Park the vehicle within range of the re‐
mote-controlled system.2.Program the relevant button on the interior
rearview mirror as described.3.Locate and press the synchronizing button
on the system being programmed. You
have approx. 30 seconds for the next step.4.Hold down the programmed button on the
interior rearview mirror for approximately
3 seconds and then release it. If necessary,
repeat this step up to three times in order
to finish synchronization. Once synchroni‐
zation is complete, the programmed func‐
tion will be carried out.
Reprogramming individual buttons
1.Switch on the ignition.2.Press and hold the interior rearview mirror
button to be programmed.3.As soon as the interior rearview mirror LED
starts flashing slowly, hold the hand-held
transmitter for the system to be controlled
approx. 1 to 3 in/2.5 to 8 cm away from the
buttons of the interior rearview mirror. The
required distance depends on the manual
transmitter.4.Likewise, press and hold the button of the
desired function on the hand-held trans‐
mitter.5.Release both buttons as soon as the interior
rearview mirror LED flashes more rapidly.
The LED flashing faster indicates that the
button on the interior rearview mirror has
been programmed. The system can then be
controlled by the button on the interior
rearview mirror.
If the LED does not flash faster after at least
60 seconds, change the distance and re‐Seite 138CONTROLSInterior equipment138

peat the step. Several more attempts at dif‐
ferent distances may be necessary. Wait at
least 15 seconds between attempts.
Controls
Before operation
Before operating a system using the uni‐
versal garage door opener, ensure that there
are no people, animals, or objects within the
range of movement of the remote-controlled
system; otherwise, there is a risk of injury or
damage.
Also follow the safety instructions of the hand-
held transmitter. ◀
The system, such as the garage door, can be
operated using the button on the interior rear‐
view mirror while the engine is running or
when the ignition is started. To do this, hold
down the button within receiving range of the
system until the function is activated. The inte‐
rior rearview mirror LED stays lit while the wire‐
less signal is being transmitted.
Deleting stored functions
Press and hold the left and right button on the
interior rearview mirror simultaneously for ap‐
proximately 20 seconds until the LED flashes
rapidly. All stored functions are deleted. The
functions cannot be deleted individually.
