Indicator and warning
lamps
The concept
Indicator and warning lamps can light up in var-
ious combinations and colors in the indicator
areas 1 and2.
Some lamps are checked for proper functioning
and thus come on briefly when the engine is
started or the ignition is switched on.
What to do in case of a malfunction
A list of all indicator and warning lamps, as well
as notes on possible causes of malfunctions and
on how to respond, can be found starting on
page116.

Keys/remote controls
Remote control with integrated key
Each remote control contains a rechargeable
battery that is automatically recharged when it
is in the ignition 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 conve-
nient access
*, the remote control contains a
replaceable battery, page25.
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, page98.
Integrated key
Press button1 to release the key.
The integrated key fits the following locks:
>Driver's door, page21
New remote controls
Your MINI Dealer can supply new remote con-
trols with integrated keys as additional units or
as replacements in the event of loss.
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.
