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 35.
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
211.
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:

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.
Individual settings are stored for a maximum of
three remote controls.

threshold during closing, the system will stop
moving the window prior to lowering it again
slightly.
Even though there is the pinch protection
system, always make sure that the win-
dow's travel path is clear; otherwise, the safety
system might fail to detect certain kinds of
obstructions, such as th in objects, and the win-
dow would continue closing.

fere with window movement. Otherwise, the
pinch protection system could be impaired. <

Pinch protection is limited and the window reopens slightly if the closing force exceeds
a certain value.
