MINI Connected
Overview
The concept
You can use MINI Connected to integrate certain
software applications of a suitable mobile phone
into your MINI. These software applications are
displayed on the Control Display. They are oper-
ated using the MINI joystick.
The range of software applications can be coun-
try-specific.
Requirements
The following requirements must be met for the
function of MINI Connected:
> The operating system of the mobile phone
must support the software applications of
MINI Connected.
> The software applications are installed on
the mobile phone and are operational.
> Suitable mobile phone
> Appropriate mobile phone contract.
Possible additional costs incurred are not
included with MINI Connected.
Only make entries when the traffic situa-
tion allows you to do so. If you do not
observe this precaution, your being distracted
can endanger vehicle occupants and other road
users.
For safety reasons, some software applications
can only be used when the vehicle is stopped. <
Only use software applications approved
by the manufacturer of your MINI; other-
wise, malfunctions may result. <

Car-care products
Regular cleaning and care helps to maintain the
value of your MINI.
The manufacturer of your MINI recommends
using manufacturer-approved products to clean
and care for your vehicle.
Your MINI dealer would be pleased to advise
you on cleaning and care products and services
for your MINI.The ingredients of original MINI Care Prod-
ucts have been tested, and the products
have been tested in the laboratory and in prac-
tice. They offer optimum care and protection for
your vehicle. <

or health-damaging substances. Follow
the warning and hazard instructions on the

External care
Washing your vehicle
Especially during the winter months the
vehicle should be frequently washed. Dirt
and road salt can damage the vehicle. <
After washing the vehicle, apply the
brakes briefly to dry them; otherwise,
water can reduce braking efficiency over the
short term and the brake rotors can corrode. <

washes; otherwise, water may drip into
the vehicle around the windows. <
Before driving in to the car wash, check if the sys-
tem is suitable for your MINI. Observe the fol-
lowing points:
> Vehicle dimensions, page 225
> If necessary: fold in the outside mirrors,
page 41
> Maximum permissible tire width
Avoid car washes with tracks higher than
4 in/10 cm; otherwise, the chassis could
be damaged. <
Preparations for driving into the car wash:
> Unscrew the rod antenna.
> Deactivate the rain sensor
* to prevent unin-
tentional wiping.
> Deactivate rear window wiper and protect it
from damage. Ask the car wash operator
about measures that can be taken to protect
the wipers.
> Remove additional atta chments, e.g. spoil-
ers or telephone antennas, if there is a pos-
sibility that they could be damaged.
> Inserting the remote control into the ignition
lock.
Automatic transmission

the vehicle can roll:
1.Place the remote control, even with Comfort
Access, in the ignition lock.

wh en t he e ngine is run nin g, or a fatal acci-
dent may occur. Carefully adhere to the follow-
ing sequence, both to prevent damage to one or
both vehicles, and to guard against possible per-
sonal injuries. <

cle has a voltage of 12 volts and approxi-
mately the same capa citance in Ah. This
information can be found on the battery.
2. Switch off the engine of the support vehicle.
3. Switch off any consumers in both vehicles.
