Look well ahead when driving
Driving smoothly and proactively reduces
fuel consumption.
Avoid unnecessary acceleration and brak-
ing.
By maintaining a suitable distance to the
vehicle driving ahead of you.
Avoid high engine speeds
Driving at low engine speeds lowers fuel
consumption and reduces wear.
If necessary, observe the vehicle's gear shift
indicator, refer to page 136 .
Use coasting conditions
When approaching a red light, take your
foot off the accelerator and let the vehicle
coast to a halt.
For going downhill take your foot off the ac-
celerator and let the vehicle roll.
The flow of fuel is interrupted while coast-
ing.
Switch off the engine during
longer stops
Switching off the engine
Switch off the engine during longer stops,
for instance at traffic lights, railroad cross-
ings or in traffic congestion.
Auto Start/Stop function
The Auto Start/Stop function of the vehicle
automatically switches off the engine dur-
ing a stop.
If the engine is switched off and then re-
started rather than leaving the engine run-
ning constantly, fuel consumption and emis-
sions are reduced. Savings can begin within
a few seconds of switching off the engine.
In addition, fuel consumption is also deter-
mined by other factors, such as driving
style, road conditions, maintenance or envi-
ronmental factors.
Switch off any functions that
are not currently needed
Functions such as seat heating and the rear
window defroster require a lot of energy
and consume additional fuel, especially in
city and stop-and-go traffic.
Switch off these functions if they are not
needed.
Have maintenance carried out
Have the vehicle maintained regularly to
achieve optimal vehicle efficiency and serv-
ice life. MINI recommends that mainte-
nance work be performed by a MINI service
center.
Also note the MINI maintenance systems,
refer to page 276 .
GREEN Mode
Concept
GREEN Mode supports a driving style that
saves on fuel consumption. For this pur-
pose, the engine control and comfort fea-
tures, for instance the climate control out-
put, are adjusted.
