How should I drive through water with ALL4?

2014–2016

Use calm water no more than 12 inches/30 cm deep, and travel at walking speed, up to 6 mph/10 km/h.

Once through, apply the brake pedal several times while moving slowly to dry the brakes.

What should I do if the engine oil pressure warning light comes on?

How can I improve poor phone connection quality?

2014–2016

If phone connection quality is poor, adjust Bluetooth signal strength if the phone allows, place it in the snap-in adapter or center console, and adjust microphone and loudspeaker volume.

Only make these adjustments when traffic allows; stop and use the systems while the vehicle is stationary.

How do I turn on the parking lamps or low beams?

2013

Turn the light switch to position 1 for parking lamps or position 2 for low beams, which come on when the ignition is on.

Do not leave the parking lamps on for extended periods because they can drain the battery and prevent the engine from starting.

How do I turn on the front fog lamps?

2013

With the parking lamps or low beams on, press the fog-lamp switch; press it upward or downward again to switch them off.

The green indicator lamp lights when the fog lamps are on, and equipment-dependent systems may switch them off with high beams or the headlamp flasher.

How can I see when my next service is due?

2013

After starting the engine or switching on the ignition, the display briefly shows the remaining driving distance and next scheduled service date.

How do I check which maintenance work is required?

2013

  1. Open "Vehicle Info," then "Vehicle status," and select "Service required."
  2. The display lists required maintenance procedures and legally mandated inspections; select an entry and press the MINI joystick for details.

What does the TPM warning mean after changing a wheel?

2013

A yellow warning after a wheel change means the TPM has not been reset, so its current pressure warning is unreliable.

Check the tire inflation pressure and reset the system.
