steering MINI Clubman 2008 Owner's Manual (Mini Connected)

Overview
The concept
Your MINI is equipped with a full preparation
package mobile phone. After one-time pairing
of a suitable mobile phone with the vehicle, you
can operate it using the onboard monitor, the
buttons
* on the steering wheel and your
voice
*.
Once a mobile phone is paired with the vehicle,
it will automatically be recognized when it is
located inside the vehicle if the vehicle engine is
running or the ignition is switched on. Pairing
data can be sto red for up to f our mo bile phones
at any one time. If several mobile phones are
recognized simultaneously, the mobile phone
paired last can be operated on the vehicle.
Making calls in the car
Using the snap-in adapter*
The so-called snap-in adapter, or mobile phone
base plate, recharges the battery and connects
the mobile phone to the outside antenna of the
vehicle. This provides for good network recep-
tion and consistent sound quality. Inquire with
your MINI Dealer whether you can use a base
plate with your vehicle and for which mobile
phones snap-in adapters are available.
Avoid using the mobile phone buttons to
operate a mobile phone recognized by the
vehicle as this may cause the mobile phone to
malfunction.
For your safety
Make entries only when traffic and road
conditions allow. While driving, do not
make calls with the mobile phone in your hand.
Use the hands-free system instead. Otherwise,
you may become distracted, potentially placing
your own vehicle's occupants and other road
users in danger.<
Suitable mobile phones
Ask your MINI Dealer which Bluetooth mobile
phones the full preparation package mobile
phone supports and for which mobile phones
snap-in adapters
* are available. When loaded
with the appropriate software version, these
mobile phones support the functions described
in this Owner's Manual. Other mobile phones
may not function properly.

Operation on the onboard monitor
The following functions can be operated on the
onboard monitor:
>Accepting/rejecting calls
>Dialing a phone number
>Dialing a phone number from the phone
book
>Dialing a stored phone number, e. g. from
the list of accepted calls
>Terminating a call
When the ignition and radio standby mode are
switched off, e.g. after taking the remote control
out of the ignition switch, you can continue an
ongoing call via the hands-free system for a
maximum of 25 minutes.
Voice quality
If the person you are talking to is unable to hear
you clearly, this may be due to excessive back-
ground noise. The mobile phone preparation
can compensate for these noises to a certain
degree. To optimize voice quality, we recom-
mend the following:
>Reduce background noise, e. g. by closing
the windows, lowering the air volume of the
air conditioning system or opening the four
front air vents and pointing them down-
ward.
>Reduce the volume of the hands-free sys-
tem.
Requirements
>The pairing data of the mobile phone are
stored in the vehicle and the mobile phone is
ready to operate.
>The engine is running or the ignition is
switched on.
>The mobile phone is recognized by the vehi-
cle.
