Keys/remote controls
Remote control
Each remote control contains a rechargeable
battery that is recharged when it is in the igni-
tion lock while the car is being driven. You
should therefore use each remote control at
least twice a year to maintain the charge status.
In vehicles equipped with convenient access
*,
the remote control contains a replaceable bat-
tery, page27.
If more than one remote control is used, the set-
tings called up and implemented depend on
which remote control is recognized when the
car is unlocked, refer to Personal Profile,
page18.
In addition, information about service require-
ments is stored in the remote control, refer to
Service data in the remote control, page110.
New remote controls
Your MINI Dealer can supply new remote con-
trols as additional units or as replacements in the
event of loss.
Integrated key
Press button1 to release the key.
The integrated key fits the following locks:
>Driver's door, page22
Personal Profile
The concept
The functions of your MINI can be set individu-
ally. By means of Personal Profiles, most of these
settings are stored for the remote control cur-
rently in use. When you unlock the car, the
remote control is recognized and the settings
stored for it are called up and implemented.
This means that your settings will be activated
for you, even if in the meantime your car was
used by someone else with another remote con-
trol and the corresponding settings.
At most three remote controls can be set for
three different people. A prerequisite is that
each person uses a separate remote control.
Personal Profile settings

to the specified pages.

Central locking system

*, via the door
handles on the driver's and passenger's
sidesThe anti-theft system is also operated at the
same time. It prevents the doors from being
unlocked using the lock buttons or door han-
dles. The remote control can also be used to
switch on/off the welcome lamps and interior
lamps.

tailgate/splitdoor was locked before opening, it
will be locked again after it is closed.
Before and after each trip, check that the tail-
gate/splitdoor has not been inadvertently
unlocked.<
Malfunctions
The remote control may malfunction due to
local radio waves. If this occurs, unlock and lock
the car at the door lock with the integrated key.
If the car can no longer be locked with a remote
control, the battery in the remote control is dis-
charged. Use this remote control during an
extended drive; this will recharge the battery,
page18.

tailgate is opened
>There is movement inside the car
>The car's inclination changes, for instance if
an attempt is made to jack it up and steal the
wheels or to raise it prior to towing away
>There is an interruption in the power supply
from the battery
The alarm system briefly indicates unauthorized
entry or tampering by means of:
>An acoustic alarm
>Switching on the hazard warning flashers
