matically.
Windshield heating*
The windshield heating is switched 
off automatically after a certain 
time.
Cooling function
When the cooling function is on, 
the air is cooled, dried, then 
reheated according to the temper-
ature setting. 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. The 
recirculated-air mode may be switched on auto-
matically.
The cooling function is automatically switched 
on along with the AUTO program. The passenger 
compartment can only be cooled while the 
engine is running.
Microfilter/activated-charcoal filter
The microfilter captures dust and pollen. The 
activated-charcoal filter provides additional pro-
tection by filtering gaseous pollutants from the 
outside air. Your MINI dealer replaces this com-
bined filter as a standard part of your scheduled 
maintenance. 
You can call up further information in the service 
requirements display, page60.
