Indicator and warning
lamps
The concept
Indicator and warning lamps can light up in var-
ious combinations and colors in indicator area1
or 2.
Some lamps will be tested for proper functioning
when the engine is started or the ignition is
switched on and will therefore light up briefly.
Explanatory text messages
Text messages at the uppe r edge of the Control
Display explain the mean ing of the displayed
indicator and warning lamps. You can call up more information, e.g. on the
cause of a malfunction and on how to respond,
via Check Control, page
63.
In urgent cases, this information will be shown
as soon as the corresponding lamp lights up.

Central lock ing 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
> MINI: tailgate
> MINI Clubman: Split Rear Barn Doors
> 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 the welcome lamps, the interior light, and
the ambient lighting on and off. The alarm sys-
tem is also activated or deactivated, page 32.
Operating from inside
Button for central locking system, page 30.
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:

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-
