OVERVIEW REPAIRS OPERATIONCONTROLS DATA INDEX
SERVICE INTERVAL DISPLAY Remaining distance for serviceThe displays shown in the illustration
appear for a few seconds when the ignition
key is in position 1 or after the engine is
started.
The next service due appears in miles (kilo-
meters) with the message INSPECTION or/
and OILSERVICE, together with the distance
remaining before the next scheduled
service. The computer bases its calculations
of the remaining distance on your driving
style in the period immediately preceding
your data request.
A flashing message and a "Ð" in front of the
number mean that the service interval has
already been exceeded by the distance
shown on the display. Please contact your
MINI center for an appointment.
For more information on the Service
Interval Display, see page 93.
Brake fluid changeYou can obtain a display of the number of
days remaining until the next due brake
fluid change, see page 92.
While the next due service is displayed,
press the button in the display element.
As of the due date of the brake fluid
change, the clock symbol also lights up in
the remaining distance display for Service,
see left column. Please contact your MINI
center for an appointment.
Periods of immobilization in which
the battery is disconnected are not
taken into account by the display.
For this reason, ensure that the brake fluid,
independent of the display, is replaced
every two years at the latest, see page 92.<

FLAT TIRE MONITORThe conceptThe tire inflation pressure is determined
from the signals of the ABS sensors.
The system provides an alert whenever the
tire inflation pressure drops below the
pressure in any other tire. RequirementSo that the system can "familiarize" itself
with the correct inflation pressure, please
do the following:
1. Check the tire inflation pressure in all
tires
2. Compare them with the inflation pres-
sure table, see page 81, and adjust the
pressures if necessary
3. Initialize the system.
Check the tire inflation pressure
regularly and correct it if necessary,
see page 80.<
Flat tire
The indicator lamp in the instru-
ment cluster informs you by
flashing when the tire inflation
pressure of a tire drops in relation to any
other tire. In addition, an acoustic signal is
sounded.
>Vehicles with safety (run-flat) tires, see
notes on pages 110, 80, 84
>Vehicles with normal tires, see notes on
pages 106, 80.
The Flat Tire Monitor cannot alert you
to severe and sudden tire damage
caused by external factors. Another factor
which the Flat Tire Monitor does not recog-
nize is the balanced and very gradual pres-
sure loss that takes place in all tires over an
extended period of time.<
MalfunctionsAs long as there is still a malfunction, the
yellow indicator lamp on the instrument
cluster will stay lit up.
The indicator lamp also lights up in the
event of a system malfunction.
Please contact your MINI center in these
cases.
Initializing the systemOnly initialize the system if the inflation
pressure, e. g. after a tire change, has been
corrected.
1. Ignition key in position 2
2. Press the button long enough for the
yellow indicator lamp in the instrument
cluster to light up for a few seconds
3. Start the engine.
After a few minutes driving time, the Flat
Tire Monitor sets the current inflation pres-
sure in the tires as the target values to be
monitored.

AIR CONDITIONER SYSTEM Air supply
You can select blower speeds
from 1 to 4. Position 0: blower is
switched off. The button for
recirculated-air mode fully blocks
the supply of air from outside.
Heating and ventilation operate as of posi-
tion 1.
Temperature
Turn to the right (red) to increase
the temperature of the
passenger compartment.
Rapid heating: turn to the
extreme right. Then select a pleasant inte-
rior temperature.
Air distribution
Air distribution in upper body
region , upper body region

All intermediate positions are possible, see
illustration and overview on page 64.
Rear window defroster
Rear window defroster switched
on:
Indicator lamp lights up.
As long as the indicator lamp is lit, the
heating operates at high power output
(rapid defrosting).
Indicator lamp goes out.
The heating continues to run with reduced
power output and then switches itself off
automatically.
Windshield heating*
Windshield heating switched on:
Indicator lamp lights up.
As long as the indicator lamp is
lit, the heating operates at high power
output (rapid defrosting).
Indicator lamp goes out.
The heating continues to run with reduced
power output and then switches itself off
automatically.
Air conditioner
Air conditioner operation
switched on:
Indicator lamp lights up.
The air is cooled and dehumidified and Ð
depending on the temperature setting Ð
rewarmed.
After the engine start, the windshield can
fog over briefly.
Condensation forms in the air condi-
tioner system during operation, and
then exits under the vehicle. Traces of
condensed water under the vehicle are
therefore normal.<
Recirculated-air mode
Supply of outside air into the
vehicle is blocked: indicator lamp
lights up.
The air within the vehicle is recirculated.
Do not run the recirculated-air mode
for longer than approx. 30 minutes,
as otherwise the air quality in the interior
will deteriorate.

If the windows fog over in the recir-
culated-air mode, switch the recircu-
lated-air mode off and increase the air
supply as required.

tion and the air supply and adaptation of
the specified temperatures to external
influences (outside temperature and
sunlight).
In the automatic program (AUTO), the air
conditioner is activated automatically.

In the automatic program (AUTO) in hot
weather conditions, the recirculated-air
mode is activated temporarily to enable
faster cooling.
Do not run the recirculated-air mode
for longer than approx. 30 minutes,
as otherwise the air quality in the interior
will deteriorate.<
If the windows fog over in the recir-
culated-air mode, switch the recircu-
lated-air mode off and increase the air

Temperature
Setting the temperature:
Move or turn the wheel in the
appropriate direction to increase
the temperature step by step.
The figures in the display provide a general
indication of interior temperature. When
you start the vehicle, the system ensures

ment immediately after use.<
AshtrayThe ashtray is located in one of the
beverage holders in the center console.
In the rear, an ashtray can also be fitted in
the beverage holder at the end of the
center console. Beverage holdersThere are two beverage holders at the front
of the center console. Another is located at
the end of the center console.
From ignition key position 1:
Press the cigarette lighter in.
Remove as soon as the lighter jumps back
out.
Hold or touch the hot cigarette
lighter by the knob only. Holding or
touching it in other areas could result in
burns. flashlights, car vacuum cleaners, etc., up to
a rating of approx. 200 Watts at 12 Volts.

FLAT TIRE Ð SAFETY (RUN-FLAT) TIRES
*
You will recognize safety tires by a circular
symbol containing the letters RSC on the
side of the tire.
Safety tires consist of self-contained tires
and special rims. The tire reinforcement
ensures that the tire retains some residual
safety in the event of pressure drop and
driving remains possible to a restricted
degree.
The reinforcement on the flanks of
the safety tires means that it is
usually not possible to detect an air loss
from outside.<
Flat tire The yellow indicator lamp in the instru-
ment cluster lights up to indicate a flat tire.
In addition, a gong sounds, see
pages 17, 62.
1. Reduce vehicle speed carefully to under
50 mph (80 km/h), avoiding hard brake
applications and steering maneuvers
2. Do not exceed a speed of 50 mph
(80 km/h)
3. Identify damaged tires; check tire infla-
tion pressures on all four wheels at the
next opportunity, see page 80
4. Correct the tire inflation pressure if you
wish to continue your journey and this is
permitted, see next column
5. Have damaged tires changed by your
MINI center, see page 84.
Your MINI center has the information
needed for working with safety tires
and is equipped with the necessary special
tools. They provide advice if you wish to
replace the tires on your MINI or wish to
re-equip from summer to winter tires Ð or
vice versa, see also pages 80, 84, 85.<
For safety reasons, do not have a
damaged safety tire repaired.<
Continuing driving with a damaged
tireDriving can continue under certain condi-
tions with safety tires, depending on the
vehicle load and the severity of the tire
damage, at a maximum speed of 50 mph
(80 km/h).
You can determine the possible mileage for
continued driving on the basis of the
following general indications:
>Tire inflation pressure 0 bar (0 psi):
approx. 95 miles (150 km)
>Tire inflation pressure 0.5 bar Ð 1 bar
(7.2 psi Ð 14.5 psi): approx. 300 miles
(500 km)
>Tire inflation pressure greater than 1 bar
(14.5 psi): approx. 600 miles (1,000 km).
