Windscreen heating*
The windscreen heating is switched
off automatically after a certain
time.
Cooling function
The passenger compartment can only be cooled
if the engine is running.
Air is cooled and dried when the
cooling function is switched on,
then reheated to suit the tempera-
ture setting.
The cooling function helps to avoid mist forming
on the windows or to remove it rapidly.
Depending on weather conditions, the wind-
screen may fog over momentarily when the
engine is started. If necessary, the recirculated-
air mode is switched on automatically.
The cooling function is activated automatically
when the AUTO button is pressed.
Micro-filter/activated charcoal filter
The micro-filter traps dust and pollen. The acti-
vated charcoal filter in addition removes gase-
ous pollutants from the air entering the vehicle.
This combined filter is changed by your MINI
Service Centre during routine maintenance
work.
You can call up further information in the Next
Service indicator, page
