ants, shut off the supply to the inte-  
rior of the car temporarily. The system then  
recirculates the air currently within the vehicle.  
The air flow rate is lowered or switched off  
entirely to save on battery power.  
If condensation starts to form on the  
inside window surfaces, switch off the  
recirculated-air mode and, if necessary, switch  
on the cooling function or increase the air flow  
rate.<  
Switching the system on/off  
Turn the air flow rate rotary switch to 0. Blower  
and air conditioner are completely switched off  
and the air supply is cut off.  
To prevent the air quality inside the vehi-  
cle from deteriorating during extended  
use of the recirculated-air mode, fresh air is  
added briefly at regular intervals.<  
Set any desired air flow rate to switch on the air  
conditioner.

switched on automatically. This function is only  
available while the engine is running.  
The cooling function helps prevent condensa-  
tion on the windows or removes it quickly.  
Rear window defroster  
The defroster is switched off auto-  
matically after a certain time.  
Depending on the weather, the windshield may  
fog over briefly when the engine is started.

Air distribution  
Defrosting windows and removing  
condensation  
Direct the flow of air to the win-  
dows , to the upper body area  
or to the footwell . Interme-  
diate settings are possible.  
1. Set air flow rate to the maximum level.  
2. Set air distribution to position  
.
Condensation is removed from the windows  
more quickly when the cooling function* is  
also activated.  
Windshield heating*  
The windshield heating is switched  
off automatically after a short time.  
3. Set to the highest temperature, red.  
4. Deactivate recirculated-air mode.  
5. Turn on windshield heating if necessary.  
6. Turn on rear window defroster if necessary.  
Microfilter  
The microfilter captures dust and pollen. The  
microfilter is changed by your MINI dealer dur-  
ing routine maintenance work.

Comfortable interior climate  
AUTO program 2 offers the ideal air distribution  
and air flow rate for almost all conditions, refer  
to AUTO program below. All you need to do is  
select an interior temperature which is comfort-  
able for you.  
The following sections inform you in detail about  
how to adjust the settings.  
73  
The automatic climate control goes into recircu-  
lated-air mode at the lowest temperature. Air  
flows at maximum rate from the vents for the  
upper body area. You should therefore open  
them for maximum cooling.  
Air flow rate, manual  
Press the – button to reduce air flow. Press  
the + button to increase it.  
You can reactivate the automatic mode  
for the air flow rate with the AUTO button.  
The air flow rate is lowered or switched off  
entirely to save on battery power. The display  
remains the same.  
Air distribution, manual  
The flow of air is directed to the  
windows, to the upper body area or  
to the footwell as selected.  
Switching the system on/off  
You can switch the automatic air  
distribution back on by pressing the AUTO but-  
ton.  
Reduce the air flow by pressing the – button  
repeatedly until the system is switched off. All  
indicators go out.  
Press the AUTO button to switch the automatic  
climate control back on.  
Temperature  
Set the desired temperature individually.  
The automatic climate control achieves  
this temperature as quickly as possible  
regardless of the season, using maximum  
cooling or heating power if necessary, and then  
maintains it.  
AUTO program  
The AUTO program adjusts the air  
distribution to the windshield and  
side windows, towards the upper body area and  
into the footwell for you. The air flow rate and  
your temperature specifications will be adapted  
to outside influences in accordance with sea-  
sonal changes, e.g. sunlight.  
If you switch between different tempera-  
ture settings in quick succession, the auto-  
matic climate control does not have enough  
time to achieve the set temperature.<  
The cooling function is automatically switched  
on along with the AUTO program.  
Rear window defroster  
The defroster is switched off auto-  
matically after a certain time.  
Depending on your vehicle's equip-  
ment, the upper wires serve as an  
antenna and are not part of the rear window  
defroster.  
Recirculated-air mode  
Recirculated-air mode: the supply  
of outside air is permanently shut  
off. The system then recirculates  
the air currently within the vehicle.  
If condensation starts to form on the  
inside window surfaces, press the AUTO  
button or switch off the recirculated-air mode  
and, if necessary, increase the air flow rate.  
The recirculated-air mode should not be used  
over an extended period of time; otherwise, the  
air quality inside the car will deteriorate contin-  
uously.<  
Defrosting windows and removing  
condensation  
Quickly removes ice and condensa-  
tion from the windshield and front  
side windows.  
For this purpose, also switch on the  
cooling function.  
The windshield heating* is switched on auto-  
matically.  
Maximum cooling  
At outside temperatures above  
32 7/0 6 and when the engine is  
running, you obtain a maximum  
cooling effect as soon as possible.  
74  
Windshield heating*  
Ventilation  
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.

Knob for continuous opening and closing  
Jet for direction of air flow  
The cooling function helps prevent condensa-  
tion on the windows or removes it quickly.  
Opening/closing  
Turn the knob.  
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.  
Direction of air flow  
Swivel the entire jet.  
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.  
You can call up further information in the service  
requirements display, page 52.
