Opening and closing

your MINI recommends that you have this work
done by your MINI dealer.

Windows

To prevent injuries, exercise care when
closing the windows.

Take the remote control with you when you
leave the car; otherwise, children could operate
the electric windows and possibly injure them-
selves.

If, after a window is opened and closed
several times in close succession, the win-

dow can only be closed and not opened, the sys-
tem is overheated. Let the system cool for sev-
eral minutes with the ignition switched on or the
engine running.

Opening, closing

Front window

Press the switch downward.
The window opens until you release the
switch.

Tap the switch downward.
As of radio readiness, the windows will open
automatically. Tap the switch again to stop
the opening movement.

The window can be closed in the same way by
pressing the switch up.

Rear window

Press the switch downward.
The window opens until you release the
switch.

Tap the switch downward.
As of radio readiness, the windows will open
automatically. Tap the switch again to stop
the opening movement.

The window can be closed in the same way by
pressing the switch up.

After switching off the ignition

When the ignition is switched off, the windows
can still be operated for approx. 1 minute as
long as no door is opened.

Take the key with you when you leave the
car; otherwise, children could operate the

electric windows and possibly injure them-
selves.

Pinch protection system

If the closing force rises beyond a predefined
threshold during closing, the system will stop
moving the window prior to lowering it again
slightly.

Even though there is the pinch protection
system, always ensure that the window's

travel path is clear; otherwise, the safety system
might fail to detect certain kinds of obstructions,
such as thin objects, and the window would con-
tinue closing.
Do not install any accessories that might inter-
fere with window movement. Otherwise, the
pinch protection system could be impaired.
