General
Every remote control contains a rechargeable
battery that is recharged when it is in the igni-
tion lock while the car is being driven. Use the
remote control key at least twice a year to main-
tain the battery charge. If your car is fitted with
convenient access
*
, the remote control contains
a replaceable battery, page 29 .
If several remote controls are used, different set-
tings are called up and made in the vehicle,
depending on which remote control is recog-
nised when it is unlocked, see Personal Profile
on page
20 .
In addition, information about service require-
ments is stored in the remote control, see Serv-
ice data in the remote control, page

Personal Profile
Principle
Many MINI functions can be adjusted to individ-
ual needs. With the help of Personal Profile,
most of these settings are stored for the remote
control currently in use. When you unlock the car
the remote control is recognised and the set-
tings stored for it are called up and imple-
mented.
This means that your settings will be activated
for you, even if in the meantime your vehicle
was used by someone else with another remote
control and the corresponding settings.
A maximum of three remote controls for three
different people can be adapted. A requirement
is that each person uses his or her own remote
control.

mation about the settings.
