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.
