MINI Connected
Vehicle equipment
In this chapter, all production, country, and
optional equipment that is offered in the model
range is described. Equipment is also described
that is not available because of, for example,
selected options or count ry version. This also
applies to safety related functions and systems.
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.
wise, malfunctions may result. <

Connecting via the snap-in adapter
The mobile phone can also be connected using
the snap-in adapter, refer to page177.
Using MINI Connected
After successful connection of the mobile phone
to the vehicle and activation of MINI Connected,
the applications are di splayed on the Control
Display and can be operated using the MINI joy-
stick.
Volume adjustments can be made using the
buttons on the steering wheel, refer to page 10,
or using the volume control knob on the radio,
refer to page 133.
1. Press the button.
This opens the main menu.
2. "MINI Connected"
3. Select the desired so ftware application.
The extent of MINI Connected that is shown on
the Control Display depends on the range of
installed software applic ations on the mobile
phone.
The data transfer of the software applica-
tion from the telephone to the vehicle can
take a few minutes. Some software applications
depend on the speed of the available Internet
connection for the mobile phone. <
Certain versions of mobile phones used and
their software can make it impossible to use
MINI Connected and the Bluetooth hands-free
system at the same time.
After a phone call, it may be necessary to restart
the software application on the mobile phone.
PlugIn
Selected functions for a compatible Apple device
are shown on the Control Display via a video link.
Operation is via the MINI joystick and an
onboard monitor.
1. Connecting an Apple device.
>via a USB audio interface, refer to
page 187.
> via the snap-in-Adapter, refer to
page 177.
2. "MINI Connected"
3. "PlugIn"
4. Select the type of connection: "Activate via
AUX connection" or "Activate via Snap-In
adapter"
5. "Activate PlugIn"
6. Navigate among the functions shown via a
MINI joystick and, e.g., select a desired cate-
gory or track.

>Remove additional atta chments, e.g. spoil-
ers or telephone antennas, if there is a pos-
sibility that they could be damaged.
> Insert the remote control into the ignition
lock.
Automatic transmission
Before driving into the car wash, make sure that
the vehicle can roll:
1.Place the remote control, even with Comfort
Access, in the ignition lock.
2. Move the selector lever to position N.
3. Release the parking brake.
4. Switch off the engine.
5. Insert the remote control in the ignition lock
so that the vehicle can roll.
Steam jets/high-pressure washers
When using steam jets or high-pressure
washers, make sure th at you maintain suf-
ficient distance from the vehicle and do not
exceed a maximum temperature of 140 7/
60 6 .
If the distance is too close, the pressure too high,
or the temperature too high, parts of the vehicle
can be damaged, or water can penetrate.
Observe the operating instructions for high-
pressure washers. <
Do not spray sensors such as Park Dis-
tance Control with high-pressure washers
for a long time or at a di stance of less than 1 ft/
30 cm. <
Manual washing
Use a great deal of water and, if necessary, car
shampoo when washing your car by hand. Clean
the vehicle with a sponge or a washing brush
applying a slight amount of pressure.
Before cleaning the windshield, deacti-
vate the rain sensor or turn off the ignition
to prevent unintentional wiping. <
Observe local regulations regarding wash-
ing vehicles by hand. <
Headlamps
Do not wipe dry and do not use abrasive or cor-
rosive cleaning agents. Remove dirt and con-
tamination, such as inse cts, by soaking with
shampoo and then washing with plenty of
water.
Do not remove accumulated ice and snow with
an ice scraper; use window deicers instead.
Windows
Clean the outside and inside of the windows and
mirrors with a window cleaner.
Do not clean the mirrors with cleaners
containing quartz. <
Wiper blades
Clean with soapy water and change regularly to
prevent the formation of streaks.
Wax, preservatives and dirt on the win-
dows cause streaks wh en the windshield
wipers are on, and can cause premature wear of
the wiper blades and interfere with the rain sen-
sor. <
Paintwork, care
Regular care helps your vehicle retain its value
and protects the paint from the long-term
effects of aggressive substances.
Environmental influences in areas with
increased air pollution or natural contaminants,
such as tree sap or pollen, can affect the vehicle
paintwork. It is therefore important to adjust the
frequency and extent of vehicle care corre-
spondingly.
Immediately remove any pa rticularly aggressive
substances, such as fuel that has overflowed, oil,
grease, brake fluid, or bird droppings; otherwise,
paint damage can be caused.
Removing paintwork damage
Depending on the severity of the damage,
immediately repair stone damage or
scratches to prevent rusting. <
