Temperature

Set the desired temperature individually.
The automatic climate control achieves
this temperature as quickly as possible
regardless of the season, using maximum

cooling or heating power if necessary, and then
maintains it.

If you switch between different tempera-
ture settings in quick succession, the auto-

matic climate control does not have enough
time to achieve the set temperature.

Rear window defroster

The defroster is switched off
automatically after a certain time.

Defrosting windows and removing
condensation

Quickly removes ice and condensa-
tion from the windshield and front
side windows.
For this purpose, also switch on the

cooling function.
The windshield heating is switched on
automatically.

Windshield heating

The windshield heating is switched
off automatically after a certain
time.

Cooling function

The cooling function helps prevent condensa-
tion on the windows or removes it quickly.
Depending on the weather, the windshield may
fog over briefly when the engine is started. The
recirculated-air mode may be switched on auto-
matically.
When the AUTO button is pressed, the cooling
function switches on automatically.

Microfilter/activated-charcoal filter

The microfilter captures dust and pollen. The
activated-charcoal filter provides additional pro-
tection by filtering gaseous pollutants from the
outside air. Your MINI dealer replaces this com-
bined filter as a standard part of your scheduled
maintenance.

Function

When the cooling function
is on, the air is cooled,

ture setting. The passen-
ger compartment can
only be cooled while the
engine is running.
