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
> Tailgate
> 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

The remote control can also be used to switch
on/off the welcome lamps and interior lamps.
The alarm system
is also activated or deacti-
vated, page 28.
Operating from inside

addition, the hazard warning flashers and inte-
rior lamps come on.
Opening and closing:

Comfort Access
The concept
Access to the vehicle is possible without the use
of the remote control. All you need to do is wear
the remote control close to your body, e.g. in
your jacket pocket. The vehicle automatically
detects the remote control within the immedi-
ate vicinity or in the passenger compartment.
Comfort Access supports the following func-
tions:
> Unlocking/locking the vehicle
> Convenient closing
> Unlocking the tailgate separately
> Starting the engine
Functional requirements
>There are no external malfunction sources in
the vicinity.
> For locking, the remote control must be out-
side of the vehicle.
> The vehicle cannot be locked or unlocked
again until after approx. 2 seconds.
> The engine can only be started if the remote
control is in the vehicle.
> The doors and tailgate must be closed to be
able to operate the windows and glass roof.
Comparison to standard remote controls
The indicated function can be operated by
pressing the buttons or via Comfort Access.
Instructions on opening and closing are found
starting on page 22.
If you notice a brief delay while opening or
closing the windows or glass roof, the
system is checking whether a remote control is
inside the vehicle. Repeat the opening or closing
procedure, if necessary. <
Unlocking
Press button 1.
Depending on the setting, refer to Unlocking
mode on page 23, only the driver's door or the
entire vehicle is unlocked.
Press the button again to lock the vehicle
again. <
Convenient opening with the remote control,
refer to page 24.
Locking
Press button 1.
For Convenient closing, press and hold button 1.
In addition, the windows and the glass sunroof
are closed.
Unlocking the tailgate separately
Press the top side of the MINI emblem.
If the vehicle detects that a remote control
has been accidentally left inside the
locked vehicle's cargo area after the tailgate is
closed, the tailgate will reopen slightly. The
hazard warning flashers flash and an acoustic
signal
sounds. <
Windows and glass roof, electric
If the engine is switched off, you can still operate
the windows and glass sunr oof so long as a door
or the tailgate has not been opened.
If the doors and tailgate are closed again and the
remote control is located inside the vehicle, the
windows and the glass sunroof can be operated
again.

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.
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

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 but-
tons, 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 th e rearview mirror for
a longer period of time. If the LED on the rear-
view mirror first flashes qu ickly 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 sys-
tems, 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,
