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 coun try version. This also
applies to safety relate d functions and systems.
The concept
The onboard computer integrates the functions
of a large number of switches. This allows these
functions to be operated from a single central
position. The following section provides an
introduction to basic me nu navigation. The con-
trol of the individual fu nctions is described in
connection with the relevant equipment.
Make entries only when traffic and road
conditions permit; otherwise, you may
endanger vehicle occupants and other road
users by being distracted. <

General information
Each remote control co ntains a rechargeable
battery that is 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 Comfort Access, the
remote control contains a replaceable battery,
page 34.
If more than one remote control unit is used, the
settings called up and implemented depend on
which remote control is recognized when the
car is unlocked, refer to Personal Profile,
page 26. In addition, information about service require-
ments is stored in the remote control, refer to
Service data in the remote control, page
209.
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, page 29
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.
Individual settings are stored for a maximum of
three remote controls.

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 coun try version. This also
applies to safety relate d functions and systems.
Integrated universal
remote control
The concept
By using the Integrated universal remote con-
trol, up to 3 functions of remote controlled
devices, e.g., garage door openers or lighting
systems, can be operated . As a result, the uni-
versal remote control can replace up to 3 differ-
ent remote controls. To operate, the buttons on
the rearview mirror must be programmed with
the desired functions. For programming, the
remote control for each device is needed.
To prevent possible damage or injury,
before programming or using the inte-
grated universal remote control, always inspect
the immediate area to make certain that no
people, animals or object s are within the travel
range of the device.
Comply also with the safe ty instructions supplied
with the original hand-held transmitter. <
Before selling the vehicle, delete the stored
functions as a safe ty precaution, page.
Checking compatibility
Depending on your vehicle's equip-
ment, the glove compartment can be
ventilated and, if th e cooling function is
switched on, can also be cooled.
For additional informatio n, please contact your
MINI dealer or call: 1-800-355-3515. A list of compatible remote controls is available
on the Internet at www.homelink.com.

5.As soon as the LED flashes rapidly, release
both buttons. The quick flashing indicates
that the button on the rearview mirror has
been programmed.
If the LED does not flash rapidly after
approx. 60 seconds, alter the distance
between the rearview mirror and hand-held
transmitter and repeat this step. Several
attempts at different distances may be
necessary. Wait at le ast 15 seconds before
each attempt.
Canada: if the progra mming was interrupted
by the hand-held transmitter, press and hold
the memory button and press the button on
the hand-held transmitter for 2 seconds and
release several times.
6. To program other functions on other
buttons, repeat steps 3 to 5.
You can operate the system with the engine
running or with the ignition switched on.
Special features of hopping-code
transmitter systems
If the device cannot be operated after being
programmed repeatedly, then check if the
device to be operated is equipped with a hop-
ping-code system. In a ddition, check in the
operating instructions for the device or press the
programmed button on the rearview mirror for a
longer period of time. If the LED on the rearview
mirror first flashes quickly and then is on for
2 seconds, then the device is equipped with a
hopping-code system. The flashing and the LED
being on repeats itself for approx. 20 seconds.
In addition, for devices with hopping-code
systems, the integrated universal remote control
and the device must be synchronized.
Information about synchronizing can be found
in the operating instructions for the device to be
set.
Programming will be easier with the aid of a
second person. Synchronizing:
1.
Park your vehicle within the range of the
remote-controlled device.
Do not exceed the 164 ft/50 m range of the
remote-controlled device.
2. Program the particular button on the rear-
view mirrors as described.
3. Find and press the button for synchronizing
the device to be set. There remain approx.
30 seconds for the next step.
4. Press and hold the programmed button on
the rearview mirror for approx. 3seconds
and then release. Repe at this step, possibly
up to three times, to complete the synchro-
nization. After the sy nchronization is com-
pleted, the programmed function is imple-
mented.
To reprogram individual buttons
1. Switch on ignition.
2. Press and hold the button to be pro-
grammed on the rearview mirror.
3. As soon as the LED on the rearview mirror
starts flashing slowly, hold the hand-held
transmitter of the devi ce to be operated
approx. 1in/2.5cm to 3in/8cm from the
buttons on the rearview mirror. The required
distance depends on the hand-held trans-
mitter.
4. Press and also hold the button with the
desired function on the hand-held trans-
mitter.
5. As soon as the LED on the rearview mirror
starts blinking faster, release both buttons.
The quick flashing indicates that the button
on the rearview mirror has been pro-
grammed. The device can now be operated
using the button on the rearview mirror.
Canada: if the LED is not flashing rapidly
after 60 seconds, chan ge the distance and
repeat the step or, if the programming was
interrupted by the hand-held transmitter,
press and hold the memory button and
press the button on the hand-held transmit-
ter for 2 seconds and release several times.
