MIRRORS
VEHICLE MEMORY
How the system functions
No doubt you have often reflected on how
great it would be if you could configure
your vehicle's various adjustment settings
to meet your own personal requirements.
In developing this vehicle, the manufac-
turer of the MINI has incorporated a num-
ber of options which can be programmed
specifically for your vehicle.
What the system can do
Your MINI Dealer can provide you with
details on the capabilities of the Vehicle
Memory system.
Interior rearview mirror
Interior mirror, automatic dimming*
To reduce glare from vehicles behind you
when you are driving at night:
While the vehicle is being driven forward,
these mirrors dim light through an infi-
nitely variable range depending on the
light's incidence. Two photocells in the
interior rearview mirror serve this purpose.
One is positioned on the underside of the
mirror frame, while the other is slightly off-
set on the back of the mirror.
Examples for Vehicle Memory:
Turn the knob.

Illuminated vanity mirror
From ignition key position 1:
1. Fold down the sun visor
2. Fold the cover panel upwards.
In order for the photocells to work opti-
mally, keep them clean and do not cover
the area between the interior rearview mir-
ror and the windshield. Do not place stick-
ers or toll tags on the windshield in front of
the mirror.
Sun visors
Can be swung sideways.
An additional sun visor is provided on the
driver's side to better protect the driver
from being blinded.
