OVERVIEW REPAIRS OPERATIONCONTROLS DATA INDEX
CENTRAL LOCKING SYSTEM OPENING AND CLOSING: FROM OUTSIDEThe conceptThe central locking system is ready for
operation whenever the driver's door is
closed. The doors, the tailgate and the fuel
filler door are unlocked or locked.
The central locking system secures your
MINI:
>When operated from the outside via the
remote control as well as via the door
lock
>When operated from the inside via a
switch.
If operated from outside, the anti-theft sys-
tem is activated at the same time. This pre-
vents the doors from being unlocked via
safety lock buttons or door handles.
In the event of an accident, the central lock-
ing system unlocks automatically. The haz-
ard warning system and interior lamps are
also switched on.
Via remote controlThe remote control gives you an exception-
ally convenient method for unlocking and
locking your vehicle. It also offers addi-
tional functions:
>To open the power windows and the
glass sunroof, refer to page 24.
Locking/unlocking the vehicle automati-
cally activates/deactivates the anti-theft
system and switches the interior lamps off/
on.
If the vehicle has been properly locked
using the remote control, the hazard warn-
ing system flashes once.
When the vehicle is unlocked, the hazard
warning system does not react.
Children might be able to lock the
doors from the inside. Always take
the vehicle keys with you so that the vehi-
cle can be opened again from the outside at
any time.<
For US owners only The transmitter and receiver units comply
with part 15 of the FCC, Federal Communi-
cations Commission, regulations. Opera-
tion is governed by the following:
FCC ID: LX8765S
LX8765E

OPENING AND CLOSING: FROM INSIDEWith this switch, you operate the central
locking system when the doors are closed.
The doors and tailgate are unlocked or
locked only. The anti-theft system is not
activated.
If the remote control has been used
to unlock only the driver's door, refer
to page 24, and you touch the switch when
the driver's door is open, the other door, the
tailgate, and the fuel filler door are
unlocked.
If the driver's door is closed, touching the
switch locks it.<
To lockBriefly press the switch downward
or
push down the safety lock buttons on the
doors.
After you have driven off, the central
locking system automatically locks
your MINI once a certain speed has been
reached.<
You can have this function activated/
deactivated by your MINI Dealer.<
Do not lock the safety lock buttons
while driving, since these doors will
not unlock automatically in the event of an
accident. Children might be able to lock the
doors from the inside. Always take the
vehicle's keys with you so that you can
open the vehicle again from the outside at
any time.<
To unlock and open the doors1. Briefly press the switch upward
2. Pull the door handle above the armrest
or
pull the door handle for each door twice:
to unlock first and then open.

TRANSPORTING CHILDREN SAFELYChild-restraint system with tether
strapIf you use a child-restraint system with a
tether strap:
Depending on the location selected for
seating in the rear passenger area, attach
the tether strap to the corresponding
anchorage point to secure the child-
restraint system.
Both seating positions are fitted with a
head restraint.
Lift the head restraint and pass the tether
strap between the head restraint and the
seat back. It is recommended to readjust
the head restraint into the lowest possible
position.
Adjust the tether strap according to the
child-restraint manufacturer's instructions.
LATCH child-restraint mounting
system Open the cover.
The illustration is an example showing the
mounts for the LATCH, Lower Anchors and
Tethers for CHildren, child-restraint mount-
ing system at the right rear.
The system is also available at the left rear
position.
Canadian models only:
The LATCH anchorage points are identified
by buttons, see illustration.
Always follow all manufacturer's
instructions and observe all safety
precautions when installing the LATCH
child-restraint system.<

SERVICE INTERVAL DISPLAY CLOCKRemaining distance for serviceThe distance remaining before the next
scheduled service is displayed in miles /
kilometers with the ignition key in position
1 or higher. The display also indicates
whether an engine oil service and/or an
inspection is due.
The onboard computer bases its calcula-
tions of the remaining distance on your
driving style in the period immediately pre-
ceding your data request. The remaining
distance display counts backwards in steps
of 35 miles / 50 km to the next service. A
flashing message and a minus sign in front
of the display that again begins counting
forwards mean that the service interval has
been exceeded.
Please contact your MINI Dealer for an
appointment.
The remaining-distance display disappears
after approx. 5 seconds and changes to the
odometer and trip odometer display.
For more information on the service inter-
val display, refer to page 102.
