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 30.
Operating from the inside
Via the button for the central locking system,
refer to page 25.
In an accident of the necessary severity, the
central locking system unlocks automatically.

ClimateVehicle equipment
This chapter describes all series equipment as
well as country-specific and special equipment
offered for this model series.Therefore, it alsodescribes equipment that may not be found in
your vehicle, for instance due to the selected
special equipment or the country version. This
also applies to safety-related functions and sys‐
tems.
Air conditioning
1Air volume2Cooling function3Recirculated air mode4Temperature5Rear window defroster6Vent settings7Windshield heatingAir volume
Vary the air volume. The higher
the rate, the more effective the
heating or cooling will be.
The air flow rate may be reduced
or the blower may be switched
off entirely to save on battery power.Switching the system on/off
Turn the rotary switch for the air volume to 0.
The blower and air conditioner are completely switched off and the air supply is cut off.
Set any air volume to switch on the air condi‐
tioning.Seite 82ControlsClimate82

Cooling functionThe passenger compartment can
only be cooled with the engine
running.
The cooling function cools and
dehumidifies the incoming air
before reheating it as required, according to
the temperature setting.
The cooling function helps to prevent conden‐
sation on the windows or to remove it quickly.
Depending on the weather, the windshield may
fog up briefly when the engine is started.
To cool the air faster and more intensively
when external temperatures are high, switch
on the recirculated air mode.
Recirculated air mode If the air outside the car has an
unpleasant odor or contains pol‐
lutants, shut off the supply to the
interior of the car temporarily.
The system then recirculates the
air currently within the vehicle.
Should the windows fog up in the recirculated-
air mode, press the AUTO button or switch off
the recirculated-air mode and increase the air
volume if necessary. Make sure that air can
flow onto the windshield.
Recirculated air mode is automatically deacti‐
vated at low external temperatures.
Only use recirculated air mode for a lim‐
ited period
The recirculated air mode should not be used
continuously for lengthy periods; otherwise, the
quality of the air inside the car will gradually
deteriorate. ◀Temperature
Turn upward, red, to raise thetemperature.
Turn downward, blue, to lower
the temperature.
Rear window defroster The rear window defroster
switches off automatically after a
certain period of time.
The rear window defroster
power may be lowered or even
switched off entirely to save on battery power.
Vent settings Direct the flow of air to the win‐
dows
, to the upper body
area
, or to the footwell .
Intermediate positions are possi‐
ble.
Windshield heating The windshield heating switches
off automatically after some
time.
The windshield heating may be
reduced or even switched off en‐
tirely to save on battery power.

Microfilter
The microfilter traps dust and pollen. The mi‐
crofilter is changed by the service center during
routine maintenance work.
Microfilter/activated-charcoal filter
The microfilter traps dust and pollen. The acti‐
vated-charcoal filter provides additional protec‐tion by filtering gaseous pollutants from the
outside air. The service center replaces this
combined filter during routine maintenance.

densation from the windshield
and front side windows. For this
purpose, also switch on the cool‐
