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 33.
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 22. In addition, information about service require-
ments is stored in the remote control, refer to
Service data in the remote control, page
159.
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 26
> MINI Convertible, MINI Roadster: glove
compartment, page 99
> MINI Convertible: locking the rear seat
backrest, page 110
> MINI Coupe, MINI Roadster: opening for
loading, page 109
Personal Profile
The concept
The functions of your MINI can be set indivi-
dually. By means of Pers onal Profiles, most of
these settings are stored for the remote control
currently 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

control and the corresponding settings.

Central locking system
The concept
The central locking system is ready for operation
whenever the driver's door is closed.
The system simultaneously engages and
releases the locks on the following:
>Doors
> Tailgate
> Fuel filler flap
Operating from outside
>Via the remote control
> Using the door lock
> In cars with Comfor t Access, via the door
handles on the driver's and passenger's
sides
The anti-theft system is also operated at the
same time. It prevents the doors from being
unlocked using the lock buttons or door han-
dles. The remote control can also be used to
switch on/off the welcome lamps and interior
lamps. The alarm system is also activated or
deactivated, page 29.
Operating from inside
Button for central locking system, page 27.
In the event of a sufficiently severe accident, the
central locking system unlocks automatically. In
addition, the hazard warning flashers and inte-
rior lamps come on.
Opening and closing:
from outside
Persons or animals in a parked vehicle
could lock the doors from the inside. Take
the key with you when you leave the vehicle so
that the vehicle can be opened from the out-

top is open. Falling objects, e.g. tree leaves, may
trigger a false alarm, refer to Avoiding false
alarms.
Avoiding false alarms
The tilt alarm sensor and the interior movement
detector can be swit ched off together.
This prevents false alarms, e.g. in the following
situations:
> In duplex garages

> If pets are to remain inside the car
Switching off the tilt alarm sensor and
interior movement detector
>Press the button on the remote
control twice in succession.
> Lock the vehicle twice with the integrated
key.

2 seconds.
The tilt alarm sensor an d the interior movement
detector are switched of f until the car is next
unlocked and locked.
Comfort Access
The concept
Access to the vehicle is po ssible without the use
of the remote control. All you need to do is wear
the remote control close to your body, e.g. in
your jacket pocket. Th e vehicle automatically
detects the remote control within the imme-
diate vicinity or in the passenger compartment.
Comfort Access supports the following func-
tions:
> Unlocking/locking the vehicle
> Unlocking the tailgate separately
> Starting the engine >
MINI Convertible: Convenient closing and
soft-top control with the remote control for
Comfort Access
> MINI Coupe, MINI Roadster: closing the side
windows
Functional requirements
>There are no external malfunction sources in
the vicinity.
> For locking, the remo te control must be
outside of the vehicle.
> The vehicle cannot be locked or unlocked
again until after approx. 2 seconds.
> The engine can only be started if the remote
control is in the vehicle.
> The doors and tailgate must be closed to
operate the windows.
Comparison to standard remote controls
The indicated function can be operated by
pressing the buttons or via Comfort Access.
Instructions on openin g and closing are found

cedure, if necessary. <
