Voice activation system
Vehicle equipment
In this chapter, all production, country, and
optional equipment that is offered in the model
range is described. Equipment is also described
that is not available because of, for example,
selected options or count ry version. This also
applies to safety related functions and systems.
The concept
> By using the voice activation system, most of
the functions that are displayed on the Con-
trol Display can be operated via voice com-
mands. The system supports the entry pro-
cess by means of announcements.
> Functions that can only be used while the
vehicle is not moving cannot be operated via
the voice activation system.
> The system includes a special microphone
on the driver's side.
Prerequisite
So that voice commands can be identified, set a
language on the Control Display that is sup-
ported by the voice activation system.
To set the language, see page 66.

Possible commands
Most menu items on the Control Display can be
spoken as commands.
The commands that are possible depend upon
which menu is currently shown on the Control
Display.
There are short commands for many functions.
Some list items, for example telephone book
listings, can also be selected using the voice acti-
vation system. In particular, say the list items
exactly as they are displayed in the respective
list.
Having the possible commands read
aloud
Having the possible co mmands read aloud:
For example if you have selected "CD" the sys-
tem will read aloud the possible commands for
operating the CD player.
Carrying out functions through short
commands
Main menu functions can be executed immedi-
ately by short commands , almost regardless of
which menu item is selected, e.g., {Vehicle sta-
tus }.
List of voice activation system short commands,
see page 245.

Central lock ing system
The concept
The central locking system is ready for operation
whenever the driver's door is closed.
The system simultaneously engages and
releases the locks on the following:
>Doors
> MINI: tailgate
> MINI Clubman: Split Rear Barn Doors
> Fuel filler flap
Operating from outside
>Via the remote control
> Using the door lock
> In cars with Comfor t Access, via the door
handles on the driver's and passenger's
sides
The 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 the welcome lamps, the interior light, and
the ambient lighting on and off. The alarm sys-
tem is also activated or deactivated, page 32.
Operating from inside
Button for central locking system, page 30.
In the event of a sufficiently severe accident, the
central locking system unlocks automatically. In
addition, the hazard warning flashers and inte-
rior lamps come on.
Opening and closing:

could lock the doors from the inside. Take
the key with you when you leave the vehicle so
that the vehicle can be opened from the out-
side. <
