time to achieve the set temperature.

matically after a certain time.
Depending on your vehicle's equip-
ment, the upper wires serve as an

defroster.

Defrosting windows and removing
condensation

tion from the windshield and front
side windows.
For this purpose, also switch on the

cooling function.

is switched on auto-

matically.

Windshield heating*

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

Cooling function

The passenger compartment can only be cooled
while the engine is running.

When the cooling function is on,
the air is cooled, dried, then
reheated according to the temper-
ature setting.

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.
