General information
Each remote control contains a rechargeable
battery that is recharged when it is in the
ignition lock while the car is being driven. You
should therefore use each remote control at
least twice a year to maintain the charge status.
In vehicles equipped with Comfort Access, the
remote control contains a replaceable battery,

If more than one remote control unit is used, the
settings called up and implemented depend on
which remote control is recognized when the
car is unlocked, refer to Personal Profile,
page
28 .
In addition, information about service require-
ments is stored in the remote control, refer to
Service data in the remote control, page
225 .

trols as additional units or as replacements in the

Personal Profile
The concept
The functions of your MINI can be set individu-
ally. By means of Personal Profiles, most of these
settings are stored for the remote control
currently in use. When you unlock the car, the
remote control is recognized and the settings
stored for it are called up and implemented.
