Indication of a flat tire


The warning lamps come on in yellow and red. An acoustic signal also sounds. There is a flat tire or substantial loss of tire pressure.


1. Reduce speed and stop the vehicle with cau-


tion. Avoid sudden braking and steering maneuvers.


2. Check whether your vehicle is equipped


with normal tires or run-flat tires.


The symbol identifying run-flat tires is a circle with the letters RSC on the


sidewall, refer to Run-flat tires, page 103.<


Normal tires 1. Determine which tire is damaged.


If this cannot be determined, contact your MINI dealer.<


2. Repair the flat tire, refer to page 118, or


change the damaged tire, refer to page 121.


Run-flat tires* 1. Cautiously reduce speed to below 50 mph


or 80 km/h. Avoid sudden braking and steering maneuvers. Do not exceed a speed of 50 mph or 80 km/h.


Do not continue driving if the vehicle is not equipped with run-flat tires,


page 103; otherwise, a serious accident could result.<


2. At the next opportunity, check the air pres-


sure in all four tires.


3.


If all four tires are inflated to the cor- rect pressures, the Flat Tire Monitor


might not have been initialized. The system must then be initialized.< In the event of complete tire pressure loss, 0 psi/0 kPa, you can estimate the possible distance for continued driving on the basis of the following guidelines: > With a light load:


1 to 2 persons without luggage: approx. 155 miles/250 km


> With a medium load:


2 persons, cargo bay full, or 4 persons without luggage: approx. 94 miles/150 km


> With a full load:


4 persons, load compartment full: approx. 30 miles/50 km Drive cautiously and do not exceed a speed of 50 mph or 80 km/h; otherwise, an 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 vehi- cle speed and stop as soon as possible. Other- wise, sections of the tire may come loose and cause accidents. Do not continue driving and contact your MINI dealer.<


Tire Pressure Monitor TPM*


The concept TPM checks the tire pressure in the four mounted tires during driving. The system noti- fies you if there is a significant loss of pressure in one or more tires.


Functional requirement In order to assure the reliable reporting of a flat tire, the system must be reset while all tire infla- tion pressures are correct. Always use wheels with TPM electronics. Other- wise, the system may malfunction.


Each time a tire inflation pressure has been corrected or a wheel or tire has been


changed, reset the system.<


System limitations


TPM cannot warn you in advance of sud- den severe tire damage caused by outside


influences.<


The system does not work correctly if it has not been reset; for example, a flat tire may be indi- cated even though the tire inflation pressures are correct. The system is inactive and cannot indicate a flat tire if a wheel without TPM electronics, such as a compact spare wheel*, has been mounted, or if TPM is temporarily malfunctioning due to other systems or devices using the same radio fre- quency.


Resetting the system


Each time a tire inflation pressure has been corrected or a wheel or tire has been


changed, reset the system.<


Using the button in the turn indicator lever 1. Start the engine, but do not start driving. 2. Briefly press the button in the turn indicator


lever repeatedly until "SET/INFO" is dis- played.


3. Press and hold the button until the display


changes.


4. Briefly press the button repeatedly until the


symbol for Tire Pressure Monitor and "ACTIVE" are displayed.


61


The Tire Pressure Monitor can be reset by selecting "RESET".


Normal tires 1. Determine which tire is damaged.


If this cannot be determined, contact your MINI dealer.<


2. Repair the flat tire or change the damaged


tire, refer to page 121.


Run-flat tires* 1. Cautiously reduce speed to below 50 mph/ 80 km/h. Avoid sudden braking and steering maneuvers. Do not exceed a speed of 50 mph/80 km/h.


2.


Do not continue driving if the vehicle is not equipped with run-flat tires; oth-


erwise, a serious accident could result.< In the event of complete tire pressure loss, 0 psi/0 kPa, you can estimate the possible distance for continued driving on the basis of the following guidelines: > With a light load:


1 to 2 persons without luggage: approx. 155 miles/250 km


> With a medium load:


2 persons, cargo bay full, or 4 persons without luggage: approx. 94 miles/150 km


> With a full load:


4 persons, load compartment full: approx. 30 miles/50 km Drive cautiously and do not exceed a speed of 50 mph/80 km/h; otherwise, an


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 vehi- cle speed and stop as soon as possible. Other- wise, sections of the tire may come loose and cause accidents. Do not continue driving and contact your MINI dealer.<


5. Press and hold the button until "RESETTING"


is displayed.


6. Start driving.


After driving a few minutes, the set inflation pressures in the tires are accepted as the tar- get values to be monitored. The system reset is completed during your drive, and can be interrupted at any time. When driving resumes, the reset is continued automati- cally. The indicator lamp goes out after the system reset is completed.


Message for low tire inflation pressure The warning lamps come on in yellow and red. An acoustic signal also sounds. There is a flat tire or substantial loss of tire pressure.


1. Reduce speed and stop the vehicle with cau-


tion. Avoid sudden braking and steering maneuvers.


2. Check whether your vehicle is equipped


with normal tires or run-flat tires.


The symbol identifying run-flat tires is a circle with the letters RSC on the


sidewall, page 103.<

Malfunction


The small warning lamp flashes in yel- low and then lights up continuously; the larger warning lamp comes on in yel- low. No punctures can be detected.


This type of message is shown in the following situations: > If there is a malfunction.


Have the system checked.


> If a wheel without TPM electronics has been


mounted.


> If TPM is temporarily malfunctioning due to


other systems or devices using the same radio frequency.


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, page 61.


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 underinflated. 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 underinflated 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. 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.

Airbags


The following airbags are located under the marked covers:


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


Protective effect


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,


64


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.


The indicator lamp above the insterior rearview mirror shows the current status of the front passenger airbags, deactivated or activated, refer to Status of front passenger air- bags 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.<


Status of front passenger airbags


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 seat, check that the indicator lamp for the front passenger air- bags comes on. It indicates that the child seat has been detected and that the front passenger airbags are deactivated.<


> The indicator lamp does not come on as long as a person of sufficient size and in a correct sitting position is detected on the seat. The front and side airbags for the front pas- senger are activated.


> The indicator lamp does not come on if the


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


Operational readiness of airbag system


The indicator lamp for the front passenger air- bags shows the functional status of the front passenger's front and side airbags in accordance with whether and how the front passenger seat is occupied. The indicator lamp shows whether the front passenger airbags are activated or deactivated. > The indicator lamp comes on as intended


when a child in a specially designated child restraint system is detected on the seat.


As of radio readiness, page 38, the warning lamp comes on briefly to indicate that the entire airbag system and the belt tensioners are oper- ational.


Airbag system malfunction > The warning lamp does not come on when radio readiness or the ignition is switched on.


> The warning lamp stays lit continuously.


In the event of a fault in the airbag system, have it checked without delay; otherwise, there is the risk that the system will not function as intended even if a severe accident occurs.<

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.


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.<

Practical interior accessories


Integrated universal remote control*


www.homelink.com HomeLink is a registered trademark of Johnson Controls, Inc.


The concept The integrated universal remote control can replace as many as three hand-held transmitters for various remote-controlled devices, such as garage and gate openers and lighting systems. The integrated universal remote control regis- ters and stores signals from the original hand- held transmitters. The signal of an original hand-held transmitter can be programmed on one of the three mem- ory buttons 1. The system in question can then be operated by means of the programmed memory button 1. The LED 2 flashes to confirm transmission of the signal. If you decide to sell your vehicle one day, in the interest of your own security, remember to clear the stored programs before the vehicle leaves your possession, page 77.


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 objects are within the pivot- ing or travel range of the device being operated. Comply also with the safety instructions supplied with the original hand-held transmitter.<


Checking compatibility


If this symbol appears on the package or in the instructions supplied with the original hand-held transmitter, you can assume that the radio remote control device is compatible with the integrated universal remote control. For additional information, please contact your MINI dealer or call: 1-800-355-3515. You can also obtain information on the Internet at: www.MINI.com or

Programming


1 Memory buttons 2 LED


Fixed-code hand-held transmitters 1. Switch on the ignition, page 38. 2. When starting operation for the first time:


Press both outer memory buttons 1 for approx. 20 seconds until the LED 2 flashes rapidly. All stored programs are cleared.


3. Hold the original hand-held transmitter at a distance of approx. 2 in to 12/5 to 30 cm in from the memory buttons 1.


The required distance between the hand-held transmitter and the mem- ory buttons 1 depends on the system of the respective original hand-held transmitter used.<


4. Simultaneously press the transmit key on the original hand-held transmitter and the desired memory button 1 on the integrated universal remote control. The LED 2 flashes slowly at first. As soon as the LED 2 flashes rapidly, release both buttons. If the LED 2 does not flash rapidly after approx. 15 sec- onds, alter the distance.


5. To program other original hand-held trans-


mitters, repeat steps 3 and 4.


The corresponding memory button 1 is now programmed with the signal of the original hand-held transmitter. You can operate the system with the engine running or with the ignition switched on.


If the system fails to function even after repeated programming, check whether


the original hand-held transmitter uses an alter- nating-code system. To do so, either read the instructions for the original hand-held transmit- ter or hold down the programmed memory button 1 of the integrated universal remote con- trol. If the LED 2 on the integrated universal remote control flashes rapidly and then remains lit for about two seconds, the original hand-held transmitter uses an alternating-code system. If it uses an alternating-code system, program the memory buttons 1 as described under Alternat- ing-code hand-held transmitters.<


Alternating-code hand-held transmitters To program the integrated universal remote control, consult the operating instructions for the device to be set. You will find information there on the possibilities for synchronization or programming of additional hand-held transmit- ters. When programming hand-held transmitters that employ an alternating code, please observe the following supplementary instructions:


The corresponding memory button 1 is now programmed with the signal of the original hand-held transmitter.


Clearing stored programs Press both outer memory buttons 1 for approx. 20 seconds until the LED 2 flashes: all stored programs are cleared. It is not possible to clear individual programs.


Reassigning individual programs 1. Hold the original hand-held transmitter at a distance of approx. 2 in to 12/5 to 30 cm in from the memory buttons 1.


The required distance between the hand-held transmitter and the mem- ory buttons 1 depends on the system of the respective original hand-held transmitter used.<


2. Press the desired memory button 1 of the


3.


integrated universal remote control. If the LED 2 flashes slowly after approx. 20 seconds, press the transmit key of the original hand-held transmitter and release both buttons as soon as the LED 2 flashes rapidly. If the LED 2 does not flash rapidly after approx. 15 seconds, alter the distance and repeat this step.


Programming will be easier with the aid of a second person.<
