Central locking system
The concept
The central locking system becomes active
when the driver's door is closed.
The system simultaneously engages and re‐
leases the locks on the following:
▷Doors.▷MINI: tailgate.▷MINI Clubman: split door.▷Fuel filler flap.
Operating from the outside
▷Via the remote control.▷Via the door lock.▷In cars with Comfort Access, via the door
handles on the driver's and front passenger
sides.
The following takes place simultaneously when
locking/unlocking the vehicle via the remote
control:
▷Depending on the vehicle equipment, the
anti-theft protection is switched on and off
as well. The anti-theft protection makes it
impossible to unlock the doors using the
lock buttons or door handles.▷The welcome lamps, interior lamps, and
ambient lighting are switched on and off.▷The alarm system is armed or disarmed, re‐
fer to page 41.
Operating from the inside
