KEYS CENTRAL LOCKING SYSTEMDepending on your vehicle's equipment
vesion, you will have received the following
keys:
1 Master keys with remote control
2Spare keyMaster keys with remote controlIn every master key with remote control,
there is an extended-life battery as a power
supply that is charged automatically in the
ignition lock as you drive.
You should therefore use each master key
at least twice a year to maintain the charge
status.
Depending on which master key the vehicle
detects when it is unlocked, different set-
tings will be called up and executed inside
the vehicle, refer to Vehicle Memory on
page49.Spare keyFor keeping in a safe place, e.g. in your wal-
let. This key is not intended for constant
use.
The 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 locks or unlocks
your vehicle:
>When operated from the outside via the
remote control as well as via the door
lock
>When operated from the inside via a
switch
>The vehicle is unlocked automatically
when the ignition key is pulled out of the
ignition 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 a sufficiently severe acci-
dent, the central locking system unlocks
automatically. The hazard warning flashers
and interior lamps are also switched on.

CONVERTIBLE TOP WITH INTEGRATED SLIDING SUNROOFChecking>The LED lights up during convertible top
operation until the opening or closing
procedure is completely finished
>The LED flashes for approx. 60 seconds
after the button is released. The opening
or closing procedure has not yet been
completed. The procedure can be contin-
ued in the desired direction by pressing
the appropriate button
>The LED flashes rapidly. The convertible
top cannot be operated.
The luggage compartment cover is not in
its lower position, refer to page91, or the
loading aid is not correctly locked, refer
to page91.
InterruptionThe automatic movement is immediately
interrupted when the buttons for convert-
ible top operation are released. The proce-
dure can be continued in the desired direc-
tion by pressing the appropriate buttons.
If the opening or closing procedure is inter-
rupted by releasing the respective button,
the convertible top stays in its current posi-
tion for several seconds before it slowly
moves into a more stable position. The pro-
cedure can be continued by pressing the
appropriate button.
Movement is also interrupted when there
is a mechanical blockage. In this case, in
order to operate the convertible top again:
1. Turn off the ignition and then switch it
on again
2. Press the button to continue the proce-
dure in the desired direction.Opening and closing procedure
Do not interrupt and restart the clos-
ing procedure several times one after
another, or the convertible top mechanism
could be damaged.<
If the convertible top can be moved in
only one direction after several con-
secutive attempts to operate it, the con-
vertible top system has overheated. Allow
the system to cool down for approx.
20 minutes.<
If the battery is disconnected, e.g. for
changing batteries or vehicle storage,
reinitialize the power windows, refer to
page32. Otherwise the windows will not
be lowered when the convertible top is
opened. remote control refer to page26, for opera-
tion via the door lock refer to page27.

AUTOMATIC CLIMATE CONTROL
*
setting at HI, the recirculated air mode can-
not be switched on. The LED is lit when the function is
on.
Ice and condensation are rapidly removed
from the rear window, windshield and side
windows.
Condensation is removed from the win-
dows more quickly when the cooling func-
tion is also activated.
The rear window defroster/windshield
heating are switched on automatically.
They can be switched off again via the
respective button.
Individual air distribution
Combine the air distribution your-
self. Automatic adjustment of the
air distribution is deactivated.
It is not possible to distribute air
simultaneously toward the win-
dows and toward the upper body area.
You can switch the unit from 6 to
7 by pressing the buttons for the
cooling function and air distribution
toward the footwell at the same time.<
Microfilter/Activated-charcoal filterThe microfilter removes dust and pollen
from the incoming or recirculated air. The
activated-charcoal filter provides addi-
tional protection by filtering gaseous pol-
lutants from the outside air.
Your MINI Dealer replaces this combined
filter as a standard part of your scheduled
maintenance. A substantial reduction in
the air supply indicates that the filter must
be replaced before scheduled maintenance.
Draft-free ventilationButton 1: air outlets can be opened and
closed by turning.
The points indicate the position in each
case.
Nozzle 2: change the direction of the air
flow by swiveling.

INTEGRATED UNIVERSAL REMOTE CONTROL
*
The concept
The integrated universal remote control
takes the place of up to three different con-
trol devices for different radio-remote-con-
trolled systems such as gate openers and
household alarm systems. The integrated
universal remote control detects and learns
the signal transmitted by the original con-
trol device.
The signal of an original control device can
be programmed onto one of the three
memory buttons 1. The system in question
can then be operated by means of the pro-
grammed memory button 1. Signal trans-
mission is indicated by LED 2.
If you decide to sell your vehicle one day, in
the interest of your own security, remem-
ber to delete the programs before the vehi-
cle leaves your possession, refer to page89.
While programming is in progress
and before operating any pro-
grammed system by remote control using
the integrated universal remote control,
make sure that the movement area of the
system in question is clear of people, ani-
mals and inanimate obstructions, in order
to avoid possible injury or damage. Also
comply with the safety precautions issued
for the original control device.<
Checking compatibility
If this symbol is shown on the pack-
aging or in the operating instruc-
tions of the original control device,
it is safe to assume that the remote-con-
trolled system is compatible with the inte-
grated universal remote control.
If you have any additional question,
please contact your MINI Dealer or
call: 1-800-355-3515.

4. Simultaneously press the command but-
ton of the original control device and the
desired memory button 1 on the inte-
grated universal remote control. The LED
2 begins to flash slowly. Release both
buttons when LED 2 starts flashing rap-
idly. If LED 2 does not start to flash rap-
idly after approx. 15 seconds, change the
distance between the two devices
5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 to program other
original control devices.
The corresponding memory button 1 is
now programmed with the signal of the
original control device.
You can operate the system with the igni-
tion key in position 2 or 3.
If the system cannot be operated
after repeated attempts at program-
ming, check whether the original control
device is equipped with an alternating-
code system. You can either check the oper-
ating instructions of the original control
device for this information, or you can
press and hold down the programmed
memory button 1 of the integrated univer-
sal remote control. If LED 2 of the inte-
grated universal remote control flashes
rapidly for a brief period and then remains
on for approx. two seconds, the original
control device is equipped with an alternat-
ing-code system. In this case, the memory
buttons 1 are programmed as described for
an alternating-code control device. instructions of the system in question in
order to program the integrated universal
remote control. Read through the operat-
ing instructions for information on syn-
chronization.
Observe the following additional instruc-
tions when you program an alternating-
code control device:
You will find programming easier if
you have the assistance of a second
person.<
1. Park your vehicle within range of the
radio-remote-controlled device
2. Program the integrated universal
remote control as described above in the
section on fixed-code programming
3. Locate the button on the receiver of the
target device, for example on the upper
part of the drive
4. Press the button on the receiver of the
target device. Once you have completed
step 4, you have approx. 30 seconds to
complete step 5
5. Press the programmed memory
button 1 of the integrated universal
remote control three times.
The corresponding memory button 1 is
now programmed with the signal of the
original control device.
Consult your MINI Dealer if you have
any questions.<

20 seconds until LED 2 flashes: all memory
buttons are cleared.
It is not possible to delete individual mem-
ory buttons 1.
