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

>Automatically, as soon as you start driv-

ing.

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.

The alarm system is also armed or dis-

armed; refer to page

31.

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 another

function:

To open the tailgate, refer to page

24.

The tailgate will open slightly, the vehicle is

unlocked at the same time.

Whenever you unlock/lock the vehicle, you

simultaneously deactivate/activate the

anti-theft system and optional alarm sys-

tem and the interior lamps are switched

on/off.

If the vehicle has been properly locked

using the remote control, the hazard warn-

ing system lights up 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.
