Opening and closing

MINI Convertible, MINI Roadster

The passenger compartment is monitored up to
the height of the seat's surface. This way, the
anti-theft alarm system including the interior
motion sensor are armed, even if the convertible
top is open. Falling objects, e.g. tree leaves, may
trigger a false alarm, refer to Avoiding false
alarms.

Avoiding false alarms

The tilt alarm sensor and the interior movement
detector can be switched off together.
This prevents false alarms, e.g. in the following
situations:

In duplex garages

When being transported on car-carrying
trains, ferries or trailers

If pets are to remain inside the car

Switching off the tilt alarm sensor and
interior movement detector

Press the

button on the remote

control twice in succession.

Lock the vehicle twice with the integrated
key.

LEDs flash in short succession for approx.
2 seconds.
The tilt alarm sensor and the interior movement
detector are switched off until the car is next
unlocked and locked.

Comfort Access

The concept

Access to the vehicle is possible without the use
of the remote control. All you need to do is wear
the remote control close to your body, e.g. in
your jacket pocket. The vehicle automatically
detects the remote control within the immedi-
ate vicinity or in the passenger compartment.
Comfort Access supports the following
functions:

Unlocking/locking the vehicle

Unlocking the tailgate separately

Starting the engine

MINI Convertible: convenient closing and
soft-top control with the remote control for
Comfort Access

MINI Coupe, MINI Roadster: closing the side
windows

Functional requirements

There are no external malfunction sources in
the vicinity.

For locking, the remote control must be
outside of the vehicle.

The vehicle cannot be locked or unlocked
again until after approx. 2 seconds.

The engine can only be started if the remote
control is in the vehicle.

The doors and tailgate must be closed to
operate the windows.

Comparison to standard remote controls

The indicated function can be operated by
pressing the buttons or via Comfort Access.
Instructions on opening and closing are found
starting on page

If you notice a brief delay while opening or
closing the windows or cover, the system

is checking whether a remote control is inside
the vehicle. Repeat the opening or closing
procedure, if necessary.
