Collision warning with
City Braking function
The concept
The system can help to prevent accidents. If an
accident cannot be prevented, the system
helps to reduce the collision speed.
The system issues a warning if there is immi‐
nent danger of a collision and if so brakes inde‐
pendently.
The automatic braking intervention is done
with limited force and duration.
The system is controlled via a camera in the
base of the mirror.
The collision warning is available even if cruise
control has been deactivated.
When the vehicle is intentionally brought close to a vehicle, the collision warning is delayed to
avoid false warnings.
General information The system issues a two-phase warning of a
danger of collision with vehicles at speeds
above approx. 3 mph/5 km/h. The time of
these warnings may vary depending on the
current driving situation.
Up to approx. 35 mph/60 km/h a braking inter‐
vention occurs when appropriate.

Note Adapting your speed and driving style
The warning does not relieve the driver of
the responsibility to adapt his or her driving
speed and style to the traffic conditions. ◀
Display
If a collision with a person detected in this way
is imminent, a warning symbol appears on the
instrument cluster and in the Head-up Display.
The red symbol is displayed and a signalsounds.
Intervene immediately by braking or
making an evasive maneuver.
Braking intervention
The warning prompts the driver himself to in‐
tervene. During a warning, the maximum brak‐ ing force is used. A prerequisite for the brake
booster is a sufficiently fast and sufficiently
strong actuation of the brake pedal. In addi‐
tion, if there is a risk of collision, the system can
assist with a slight braking intervention. The in‐
tervention can bring a vehicle traveling at slow
speed to a complete stop.
Manual transmission: During a braking inter‐ vention up until reaching a complete stop, the
engine may be shut down.
The braking intervention is executed only if DSC
Dynamic Stability Control is switched on and
Dynamic Traction Control DTC is activated.
The braking intervention can be interrupted by
pressing on the accelerator pedal or by actively
moving the steering wheel.
Tow-starting and towing
When tow-starting and towing the vehi‐
cle, switch off the Intelligent Safety systems;
otherwise, improper behavior of the braking
function of individual systems could result in an
accident. ◀Seite 104CONTROLSSafety104

Programs
The system offers several different programs.
The programs can be selected via the Driving
Dynamics Control, refer to page 108.

adjust the certain characteristics of the vehicle. Three different programs can be selected for
this purpose. By turning the Driving Dynamics
Control, a particular program can be activated.

when in transmission position N. A signal is
sounded when an attempt is made to lock the
vehicle.

▷Do not rub dry and do not use abrasive or
caustic cleansers.▷Soak areas that have been soiled, e.g., due
to insects, with shampoo and wash off with
water.▷Thaw ice with de-icing spray; do not use an
ice scraper.
After washing the vehicle
After washing the vehicle, apply the brakes
briefly to dry them; otherwise, braking action
can be reduced and corrosion of the brake
discs can occur.
Completely remove all residues on the win‐
dows, to minimize loss of visibility due to
smearing and to reduce wiper noises and wiper
blade wear.
Vehicle care
Car care products MINI recommends using cleaning and care
products from MINI, since these have been
tested and approved.
Car care and cleaning products
Follow the instructions on the container.
When cleaning the interior, open the doors or
windows.
Only use products intended for cleaning vehi‐
cles.
Cleansers can contain substances that are dan‐
gerous and harmful to your health. ◀
Vehicle paint
Regular care contributes to driving safety and
value retention. Environmental influences in
areas with elevated air pollution or natural con‐
taminants, such as tree resin or pollen can af‐
fect the vehicle's paintwork. Tailor the fre‐
quency and extent of your car care to these
influences.
Aggressive substances such as spilled fuel, oil,
grease or bird droppings must be removed im‐
mediately to prevent the finish from being al‐
tered or discolored.
Leather care Remove dust from the leather often, using a
cloth or vacuum cleaner.
Otherwise, particles of dust and road grime
chafe in pores and folds, and lead to increased
wear and premature degradation of the leather
surface.
To guard against discoloration, such as from
clothing, provide leather care roughly every
two months.
Clean light-colored leather more frequently be‐
cause soiling on such surfaces is substantially
more visible.Seite 208MOBILITYCare208
