General information
Each remote control co ntains a rechargeable
battery that is recharged when it is in the igni-
tion lock while the car is being driven. You
should therefore use each remote control at
least twice a year to maintain the charge status.
In vehicles equipped with Comfort Access
*, the
remote control contains a replaceable battery,
page 34.
If more than one remote control unit is used, the
settings called up and implemented depend on
which remote control is recognized when the
car is unlocked, refer to Personal Profile,
page 26.
In addition, information about service require-
ments is stored in the remote control, refer to
Service data in the remote control, page 202.
New remote controls
Your MINI dealer can supply new remote con-
trols as additional units or as replacements in the
event of loss.
Integrated key
Press button1 to release the key.
The integrated key fits the following locks:
> Driver's door, page 29.
Personal Profile
The concept
The functions of your MINI can be set individu-
ally. By means of Personal Profiles, most of these
settings are stored for the remote control cur-
rently in use. When you unlock the car, the
remote control is recognized and the settings
stored for it are called up and implemented.
This means that your settings will be activated
for you, even if in the meantime your car was
used by someone else with another remote con-
trol and the corresponding settings.
At most three remote co ntrols can be set for
three different people. A prerequisite is that
each person uses a se parate remote control.
Personal Profile settings

to the specified pages.

Comparison to standard remote controls
Essentially, it makes no difference whether you
control the above-mentioned functions using
Comfort Access or by pressing the buttons on
the remote control for Comfort Access.
Instructions on openin g and closing are found
starting on page 26.
Special features regarding the use of Comfort
Access are described below. If you notice a brief delay while opening or
closing the windows or glass roof, the sys-
tem is checking whether a remote control is
inside the vehicle. Repeat the opening or closing
procedure, if necessary. <

*
are closed.
Unlocking the liftgate separately
Press the top side of the MINI emblem.
If the vehicle detects that a remote control
has been accidentally left inside the
locked vehicle's cargo area after the liftgate is
closed, the liftgate will reopen slightly. The haz-
ard warning flashers flash and an acoustic sig-
nal
* sounds. <
Windows and glass roof, electric*
If the engine is switched off, you can still operate
the windows and glass sunr oof so long as a door
or the liftgate has not been opened.
If the doors and liftgate are closed again and the
remote control is located inside the vehicle, the
windows and the glass sunroof can be operated
again.

otherwise, the engine will start. <
Starting the engine
The engine can be started or the ignition can be
switched on when a remote control is inside the
vehicle. It is not necessa ry to insert a remote
control into the ignition lock, page 46.
Switching off the engine in cars with
automatic transmission
The engine can only be switched off when the
selector lever is in position P, page47.
To switch the engine off when the selector lever
is in position N, the remote control must be in

Integrated universal
remote control*
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 89.
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 object s are within the travel
range of the device. Comply also with the safety
instructions supplied with the original hand-held
transmitter. <
Checking compatibility
If this symbol a ppears 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 informatio n, please contact your
MINI dealer or call: 1-800-355-3515. You can also obtain info

Fixed-code hand-held transmitters
1.Switch on the ignition, page 46.
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. 1in/2.5cm to 3in/8cm
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-hel d 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.

60 seconds, alter the distance and repeat
this step.
Canada: if the LED is not flashing rapidly
after 60 seconds, change the distance and
repeat the step or, if the programming was
interrupted by the hand-held transmitter,
press and hold the memory button and
press the button on the hand-held transmit-
ter for 2 seconds and release several times.
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 ra pidly and then remains
lit for about two seconds, then 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 Alternating-code hand-held transmit-
ters. <
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 co de, please observe the
following supplementary instructions:
Programming will be easier with the aid of
a second person. < 1.
Park your vehicle within the range of the
remote-controlled device.
Do not exceed a distance of 164 ft/
50 m from the radio remote con-
trolled device. <
2. Program the integrated universal remote
control as described above in the section
Fixed-code hand-held transmitters.
3. Locate the button on the receiver of the
device to be set, e.g. on the drive unit.
4. Press the button on the receiver of the
device to be set. After step 4, you have
approx. 30 seconds for the next step 5.
5. Press and hold the programmed memory
button 1 on the integrated universal remote
control for approx. 3 seconds.
If necessary, repeat the step up to three
times.
The corresponding memory button1 is now
programmed with the signal of the original
hand-held transmitter.
Clearing stored programs
Press both oute r memory buttons 1 for approx.
20 seconds until the LED 2 flashes: all stored
programs are cleared.
It is not possible to cl ear individual programs.
Reassigning individual programs

distance of approx. 1 in/2.5 cm to 3 in/8 cm
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
integrated universal remote control.
If the LED 2 flashes slowly after approx.
20 seconds, press the transmit key of the
