CENTRAL LOCKING SYSTEM

OPENING AND CLOSING: FROM OUTSIDE

The concept

The central locking system is ready for
operation whenever the driver's door is
closed. The doors, the tailgate and the fuel
filler door are unlocked or locked.

The central locking system secures your
MINI:
>When operated from the outside via the

remote control as well as via the door
lock

>When operated from the inside via a

switch.

If operated from outside, the anti-theft sys-
tem is activated at the same time. This pre-
vents the doors from being unlocked via
safety lock buttons or door handles.

In the event of an accident, the central lock-
ing system unlocks automatically. The haz-
ard warning system and interior lamps are
also switched on.

Via remote control

The remote control gives you an exception-
ally convenient method for unlocking and
locking your vehicle. It also offers addi-
tional functions:
>To open the power windows and the

glass sunroof, refer to page

Locking/unlocking the vehicle automati-
cally activates/deactivates the anti-theft
system and switches the interior lamps off/
on.

If the vehicle has been properly locked
using the remote control, the hazard warn-
ing system flashes once.
When the vehicle is unlocked, the hazard
warning system does not react.

Children might be able to lock the
doors from the inside. Always take

the vehicle keys with you so that the vehi-
cle can be opened again from the outside at
any time.
