Technology for driving comfort and safety


Malfunction


Park Distance Control PDC*


The concept PDC assists you with parking backwards. Acous- tic signals warn you of the presence of an object behind the vehicle. To measure the distance, there are four ultrasonic sensors in either bumper.


Website : http://www.softlay.org


Indicator lamp comes on: PDC is mal- functioning. Have the system checked. To avoid this problem, keep the sensors clean and free of ice or snow in order to ensure that they will continue to operate effectively. When using a high-pressure cleaner, do not direct the jet toward the sensors for lengthy periods and only spray from a distance of at least 4 in/10 cm.


However, an acoustic warning does not sound until an object is approx. 24 in/


60 cm from the corner sensors, or approx. 5 ft/ 1.50 m from the center sensors. PDC is a parking aid that can indicate objects when they are approached slowly, as is usually the case when parking. Avoid approaching an object at high speed, otherwise physical circumstances may lead to the system warning being issued too late.<


Automatic mode With the engine running or the ignition switched on, the system is activated automatically after approx. 1 second when you engage reverse gear or move the automatic transmission selector lever to position R. Wait this short period before driving.


Acoustic signals As the distance between vehicle and object decreases, the intervals between the tones become shorter. If the distance to the nearest object falls to below roughly 1 ft/30 cm, then a continuous tone sounds. If the distance remains constant, e.g. when driv- ing parallel to a wall, the acoustic signal stops after approx. 3 seconds.


Adjustments The volume of the acoustic signals can be adjusted, refer to the Owner's Manual for Radio.


System limitations


Even with PDC, final responsibility for esti- mating the distance between the vehicle and any obstructions always remains with the driver. Sensors, too, have blind spots in which objects cannot be detected. Moreover, ultra- sonic detection can reach its physical limits with objects such as trailer tow bars and couplings, thin and wedge-shaped objects, etc. Low objects already indicated, such as curbs, may enter the sensors' blind spots before or after a continuous audible signal is given. Higher, pro- truding objects, such as wall ledges, may not be detectable. Therefore, always drive cautiously, otherwise there is a risk of personal injury or property damage. Loud sound sources outside or inside the car can drown out the PDC signal.<


Driving stability control systems Your MINI has a number of systems that help to maintain the vehicle's stability even in adverse driving conditions.


The laws of physics cannot be repealed, even with driving stability control systems. An appropriate driving style always remains the responsibility of the driver. Therefore do not reduce the additional safety margin by engaging in hazardous driving thereby running the risk of an accident.<

Antilock Brake System ABS ABS prevents locking of the wheels during brak- ing. Safe steering response is maintained even during full braking. Active safety is thus increased. Braking safely, refer to page 85. Among others, ABS includes the following func- tions: > Cornering Brake Control CBC > Electronic brake-force distribution EBV > Brake Assist


Cornering Brake Control CBC Driving stability and steering characteristics are further enhanced while braking in turns or dur- ing a lane change.


Electronic brake-force distribution EBV The system controls the brake pressure in the rear wheels to ensure stable braking behavior.


Brake Assist Rapidly depressing the brake causes this system to automatically develop maximum braking force. Thus, the system helps keep braking dis- tance to a minimum. At the same time, all the benefits provided by ABS are exploited. Do not reduce the pressure on the brake for the duration of the full braking application.


Dynamic Stability Control DSC DSC prevents the driving wheels from losing traction when you pull away from rest or accel- erate. The system also recognizes unstable driv- ing conditions, for example if the rear of the car is about to swerve or if momentum is acting at an angle past the front wheels. In these cases, DSC helps the vehicle maintain a safe course within physical limits by reducing engine output and through braking actions at the individual wheels. DSC also encompasses the following functions: > Antilock Brake System ABS > Electronic brake-force distribution EBV > Brake Assist

Press the button repeatedly until the DSC indica- tor lamps come on. DSC is deactivated. Stabiliz- ing and propulsion promoting actions are no longer executed. When driving with snow chains or to 'rock free' in snow, it can be helpful to switch off DSC for a brief period. To increase vehicle stability, activate DSC again as soon as possible.


Activating DSC Press the button again: the DSC indicator lamps go out.


For better control


If the indicator lamp flashes: The DSC controls the driving and breaking forces. If the indicator lamps are on: DSC is deactivated.


Dynamic Traction Control DTC* DTC is a type of DSC that is propulsion optimized for special road conditions such as uncleared snowy roads. The system ensures maximum propulsion though with restricted driving stabil- ity. You therefore need to drive with suitable caution. In the following exceptional situations, it can be useful to briefly activate DTC:

Press the button: the DTC indicator lamps come on.


For better control


If the indicator lamp flashes: DTC controls the driving and breaking forces. If the indicator lamps are on: DTC is activated.


Deactivating DTC Press the button again: the DSC indicator lamps go out.


Press the button for at least 3 seconds: the DSC indicator lamps come on. The dynamic traction control (DTC) and dynamic stability control (DSC) are both deactivated. There will be no more sta- bilizing interventions. Interventions (differential lock) in braking occur to improve propulsion when drive wheels are rotating unevenly, even when the DSC is deacti- vated.


Activating DSC Press the button again: the indicator lamps go out.


Hill Start Assist* Hill Start Assist aids you in comfortably driving off on inclines. It is not necessary to use the parking brake for this. 1. Hold the MINI with the brake. 2. Release the brake and immediately drive


off.


Hill Start Assist holds the car in place for approx. 2 seconds after the brake is released.


Depending on the load and gradient, the vehicle can roll backward slightly during this period. After you release the brake, immedi- ately start driving since the hill start assist only holds the vehicle for about 2 seconds, and it will start to roll backwards.<

Flat Tire Monitor FTM


The concept The Flat Tire Monitor detects pressure loss in a tire by comparing the rotating speeds of the individual tires while moving. If a tire loses pressure, its rolling circumference changes, and this in turn alters the speed of rotation. This change is detected and is reported as a flat tire.


Functional requirement In order to assure the reliable reporting of a flat tire, the system must be initialized for the cor- rect tire inflation pressure.

accident may occur. In the event of pressure loss, vehicle handling changes. This includes reduced tracking stability in braking, extended braking distance and altered natural steering characteristics. If unusual vibration or loud noises occur during the journey, this may be an indication that the damaged tire has finally failed. Reduce the vehicle speed and stop as soon as possible. Otherwise, sections of the tire may come loose and cause accidents. Do not continue driving and contact your MINI Dealer.<

The TPMS malfunction indicator is combined with the low tire pressure telltale. When the sys- tem detects a malfunction, the telltale will flash for approximately one minute and then remain continuously lit. This sequence will continue upon subsequent vehicle startups as long as the malfunction exists. When the malfunction indi- cator is illuminated, the system may not be able to detect or signal low tire pressure as intended. TPMS malfunctions may occur for a variety of reasons, including the installation of replace- ment or alternate tires or wheels on the vehicle that prevent the TPMS from functioning prop- erly. Always check the TPMS malfunction telltale after replacing one or more tires or wheels on your vehicle to ensure that the replacement or alternate tires and wheels allow the TPMS to continue to function properly.


Website : http://www.softlay.org


Message for unsuccessful system reset


Both warning lamps come on in yellow. The system is not reset after a tire has been changed, for example. Check the tire inflation pressure and


reset the system, refer to the Owner's Manual for Vehicle.


Declaration according to NHTSA/ FMVSS 138 Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems Each tire, including the spare, should be checked monthly when cold and inflated to the inflation pressure recommended by the vehicle manufacturer on the vehicle placard or tire infla- tion pressure label. If your vehicle has tires of a different size than the size indicated on the vehi- cle placard or tire inflation pressure label, you should determine the proper tire inflation pres- sure for those tires. As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been equipped with a tire pres- sure monitoring system TPMS that illuminates a low tire pressure telltale when one or more of your tires are significantly under-inflated. Accordingly, when the low tire pressure telltale illuminates, you should stop and check your tires as soon as possible, and inflate them to the proper pressure. Driving on a significantly under-inflated tire causes the tire to overheat and can lead to tire failure. Underinflation also reduces fuel efficiency and tire tread life, and may affect the vehicle's handling and stopping ability. Please note that the TPMS is not a substi- tute for proper tire maintenance, and it is the driver's responsibility to maintain correct tire pressure, even if underinflation has not reached the level at which the TPMS low tire pressure tell- tale illuminates.

Airbags


The following airbags are located under the marked covers:


Website : http://www.softlay.org


1 Front airbags 2 Side airbags in backrests 3 Head airbags at the front and rear


Protective action


Observe the instructions on page 29 to ensure the best possible personal protec-


tion.< The front airbags help protect the driver and front passenger by responding to frontal impacts in which safety belts alone cannot pro- vide adequate restraint. When needed, the head and side airbags help provide protection in the event of side impact. The relevant side airbag supports the side upper body area. The head air bag supports the head. The airbags are designed to not be triggered in every type of collision, e.g. not in minor acci- dents, certain rollover situations or rear impacts.


Do not apply adhesive materials to the cover panels of the airbags, cover them or


modify them in any other way. Keep the dashboard and window on the passen- ger side free from obstruction, i.e. do not cover it with adhesive film or coverings, and do not affix any holders such as for a navigation device or a mobile phone. Do not attach seat covers, cushions or other objects not specifically approved for seats with integral side airbags to the front seats. Do not hang items of clothing such as coats or jackets over the backrests. Do not attempt to remove the airbag retention system from the vehicle. Do not modify the individual components of the system or its wiring in any way. This includes the upholstered covers on the steering wheel,


instrument panel, seats and roof posts, as well as the sides of the roof lining. Do not attempt to remove or dismantle the steering wheel. Do not touch the individual components imme- diately after the system has been triggered, because there is a danger of burns. In the event of malfunctions, deactivation, or triggering of the airbag restraint system, have the testing, repair, removal, and disposal of air- bag generators executed only by a MINI Dealer or a workshop that works according to repair procedures of the manufacturer of your MINI with correspondingly trained personnel and has the required explosives licenses. Otherwise, unprofessional attempts to service the system could lead to failure in an emergency or undes- ired airbag activation, either of which could result in personal injury.< Warning notices and information about the air- bags can also be found on the sun visors.


Automatic deactivation of the front passenger airbags An analysis of the impression in the front pas- senger seat cushion determines whether and how the seat is occupied. The front and side air- bags for the front passenger are activated or deactivated by the system accordingly.


65


PDF Decrypter Trial


The indicator lamp above the interior rear- view mirror shows the current status of


the front passenger airbags, deactivated or acti- vated, refer to Status of front passenger airbags below.<


Before transporting a child on the front passenger seat, read the safety precau-


tions and handling instructions under Transport- ing children safely, page 35. The front and side airbags can also be deacti- vated by adolescents and adults sitting in certain positions; the indicator lamp for the front pas- senger airbags comes on. In such cases, the pas- senger should change his or her sitting position so that the front passenger airbags are activated and the indicator lamp goes out. If the desired airbag status cannot be achieved by changing the sitting position, transport the relevant pas- senger on a rear seat. Do not attach covers, cushions, ball mats or other items to the front passenger seat unless they are specifically rec- ommended by the manufacturer of your MINI. Do not place any items under the seat which could press against the seat from below. Other- wise a correct analysis of the seat cushion is not ensured.<


The front and side airbags for the front pas- senger are not activated.


Most child seats are detected by the system. This particularly applies to


child seats that were required by the NHTSA at the time of manufacture of the vehicle. After installing a child's seat, check that the indicator lamp for the front passenger air- bags comes on. It indicates that the child's seat has been detected and that the front passenger airbags are deactivated.<

Air flow rate


Adjust the air flow rate. The higher the rate, the more effective the heating or cooling will be. The air flow rate is lowered or switched off


entirely to save on battery power.


Switching the system on/off Turn the air flow rate rotary switch to 0. Blower and air conditioner are completely switched off and the air supply is cut off. Set any desired air flow rate to switch on the air conditioner. Cooling function


When the cooling function is on, the air is cooled, dried, then reheated according to the temper- ature setting. The recirculated-air mode may be switched on automatically. This function is only available while the engine is running. The cooling function helps prevent condensa- tion on the windows or removes it quickly. Depending on the weather, the windshield may fog over briefly when the engine is started.


Recirculated-air mode


If the air outside the car has an unpleasant odor or contains pollut- ants, shut off the supply to the inte-


rior of the car temporarily. The system then recirculates the air currently within the vehicle.


If condensation starts to form on the inside window surfaces, switch off the


recirculated-air mode and, if necessary, switch on the cooling function or increase the air flow rate.<


To prevent the air quality inside the vehi- cle from deteriorating during extended


use of the recirculated-air mode, fresh air is added briefly at regular intervals.<


Temperature


Turn upward, red, to increase the temper- ature. Turn downward, blue, to decrease the temperature.


Rear window defroster


The defroster is switched off auto- matically after a certain time.


Air distribution


Direct the flow of air to the win- dows


, to the upper body area . Interme-


or to the footwell


diate settings are possible.

Windshield heating*


The windshield heating is switched off automatically after a short time.


Defrosting windows and removing condensation 1. Set air flow rate to the maximum level. 2. Set air distribution to position


Condensation is removed from the windows more quickly when the cooling function* is also activated.


3. Set to the highest temperature, red. 4. Deactivate recirculated-air mode. 5. Turn on windshield heating if necessary. 6. Turn on rear window defroster if necessary.


Microfilter The microfilter captures dust and pollen. The microfilter is changed by your MINI Dealer dur- ing routine maintenance work.

Comfortable interior climate AUTO program 2 offers the ideal air distribution and air flow rate for almost all conditions, refer to AUTO program below. All you need to do is select an interior temperature which is comfort- able for you. The following sections inform you in detail about how to adjust the settings. Most settings are stored for the remote control currently in use, refer also to Personal Profile set- tings on page 18.

Switching the system on/off Reduce the air flow by pressing the – button repeatedly until the system is switched off. All indicators go out. Press the AUTO button to switch the automatic climate control back on.


air quality inside the car will deteriorate contin- uously.<


Maximum cooling


At outside temperatures above 32 7/0 6 and when the engine is running, you obtain a maximum


AUTO program


The AUTO program adjusts the air distribution to the windshield and side windows, towards the upper body area and into the footwell for you. The air flow rate and your temperature specifications will be adapted to outside influences in accordance with sea- sonal changes, e.g. sunlight. The cooling function is automatically switched on along with the AUTO program.


Automatic recirculated-air control AUC/ Recirculated-air mode


Switch on the desired operating mode by pressing the button repeatedly.


Display of operating modes No display: outside air flows in continuously.


AUC mode: a sensor detects pollutants in the outside air. If necessary, the system blocks the supply of outside air and recir- culates the inside air. As soon as the concentra- tion of pollutants in the outside air has decreased sufficiently, the system automatically switches back to outside air supply. At outside temperatures below approx. 417/ +5 6, the AUC mode may be restricted due to the increased risk of window condensation.


Recirculated-air mode: the supply of out- side air is permanently shut off. The sys- tem then recirculates the air currently


within the vehicle.


If condensation starts to form on the inside window surfaces, press the AUTO button or switch off the recirculated-air mode and, if necessary, increase the air flow rate. The recirculated-air mode should not be used over an extended period of time, otherwise the


cooling effect as soon as possible. The automatic climate control goes into recircu- lated-air mode at the lowest temperature. Air flows at maximum rate from the vents for the upper body area. You should therefore open them for maximum cooling.


The flow of air is directed to the windows, to the upper body area or to the footwell as selected. You can switch the automatic air distribution back on by pressing the AUTO but- ton.


Temperature


Set the desired temperature individually. The automatic climate control achieves this temperature as quickly as possible regardless of the season, using maximum cooling or heating power if necessary, and then maintains it.


If you switch between different tempera- ture settings in quick succession, the auto-


matic climate control does not have enough time to achieve the set temperature.<


Rear window defroster


The defroster is switched off auto- matically after a certain time. Depending on your vehicle's equip- ment, the upper wires serve as an


antenna and are not part of the rear window defroster.
