2016 MINI Countryman change wheel

Driving stability control systemsVehicle features and op‐
tions
This chapter describes all standard, country-
specific and optional features offered with the
series. It also describes features that are not
necessarily available in your car, e. g., due to
the selected options or country versions. This
also applies to safety-related functions and sys‐
tems.
When using the features and systems described
here, adhere to local regulations.
Antilock Brake System
ABS
ABS prevents locking of the wheels during braking.
Steerability is maintained even during full brak‐ ing. This increases active driving safety.
ABS is operational every time you start the en‐
gine.
Electronic brake-force distribution EBVThe system controls the brake pressure in the
rear wheels to ensure stable braking behavior.
CBC Cornering Brake Control When braking in curves or during a lane
change, driving stability and steering response
are improved further.
Brake assistant
When the brakes are applied rapidly, this sys‐
tem automatically produces the maximum
braking force boost. In this way, the system
helps keep the braking distance as short aspossible. This system utilizes all of the benefits
provided by ABS.
Do not reduce the pressure on the brake pedal
for the duration of full braking.
Dynamic Stability Con‐
trol DSC
The concept
DSC prevents traction loss in the driving wheels
when driving away and accelerating.
DSC also recognizes unstable vehicle condi‐
tions, such as fishtailing or nose-diving. Subject
to physical limits, DSC helps to keep the vehicle
on a steady course by reducing engine speed
and by applying brakes to the individual
wheels.
Adapt your driving style to the situation, for an
appropriate driving style is always the responsi‐
bility of the driver.
DSC is operational every time you start the en‐
gine.
WARNING
When driving with roof load, e.g. with
roof-mounted luggage rack, driving safety may
not be ensured in driving-critical situations due
to the elevated center of gravity. There is risk of
accidents or risk of property damage. Do not
deactivate Dynamic Stability Control DSC when
driving with roof load. ◀Seite 84CONTROLSDriving stability control systems84

Overview
The concept
Mobile phones can be connected with the vehi‐
cle via Bluetooth.
After a compatible mobile phone is paired with
the vehicle once, you can operate the mobile phone via the radio, the buttons on the steer‐
ing wheel, and via voice activation.
Bluetooth® is a registered trademark of Blue‐
tooth® SIG, Inc.
Certain functions may need to be enabled by
the mobile phone provider or service provider.
WARNING
Operating the integrated information sys‐
tems and communication devices while driving can distract from traffic. It is possible to lose
control of the vehicle. There is risk of an acci‐
dent. Only use the systems or devices when the
traffic situation allows. If necessary stop and
use the systems and devices while the vehicle is
stationary. ◀
Snap-in adapter
The snap-in adapter is used to:▷Hold the mobile phone.▷Recharge the battery.▷Connect the mobile phone to an outside
antenna of the vehicle.
This provides for better network reception
and consistent sound quality.
Do not operate a mobile phone that is con‐
nected to the vehicle on the mobile phone key‐
pad, as this may lead to a malfunction.
Compatible mobile phones
Details on which mobile phones with a Blue‐
tooth interface are supported by the mobile
phone preparation package can be obtained at
www.mini.com/connectivity.
InformationAt high temperatures, the charging function of
the mobile phone may be limited and functions
may not be executed.

numbers that were dialed most frequently.▷"LAST8"
The last eight phone numbers that were di‐
aled are stored. The phone number dialed
last is at the top of the list.▷"CALLS"

cepted calls are stored. For this to be possi‐
ble, it must be possible to transmit the
phone number of the caller.▷"MISSED"

that were not accepted are stored. For this
to be possible, it must be possible to trans‐
mit the phone number of the caller.
Dialing a phone number from the phone
book
The list A-Z is available for phone book entries.
If entries with different names but the same
phone number are transferred to the vehicle
from the mobile phone, only one entry is dis‐
played.

center or another qualified service center or re‐
pair shop.
Changing wheels InformationThe vehicle may be equipped with conven‐tional tires with the Mobility System, refer to
page 162, or with run-flat tires, refer to
page 162.
No spare tire is available in the case of a flat
tire.
The suitable tools for changing wheels are
available as accessories from a dealer’s service
center or another qualified service center or re‐
pair shop.
Safety measures
▷Park the vehicle as far as possible from
passing traffic and on solid ground. Switch
on the hazard warning system.▷Set the parking brake and move the selec‐
tor lever to position P.▷Have all vehicle occupants get out of the
vehicle and ensure that they remain out‐
side the immediate area in a safe place,
such as behind a guardrail.▷If a warning triangle or portable hazard
warning lamp is required, set it up on the
roadside at an appropriate distance from
the rear of the vehicle.▷Change the wheel only on a level, firm sur‐
face which is not slippery. The vehicle or
the jack could slip to the side if you attempt
to raise the vehicle on a soft or slippery sur‐
face such as snow, ice, tiles, etc.▷Do not use a wooden block or similar object
as a support base for the jack, as this would
prevent it from extending to its full support
height and reduce its load-carrying ca‐
pacity.▷To avoid serious or fatal injury: never lie un‐
der the vehicle, and never start the engine
while it is supported by the jack.
