1. Unclip the sleeve of the selector lever.
2. Pull the sleeve up over the selector lever
until the sleeve is inside out. Disconnect the
cable connector if necessary.
3. Take the hub cover remover

out of the
glove compartment and insert it in the loop
on the front passenger side.
4. Pull the loop up.
5. Move the selector lever into the desired
position by pressing the button on the front
of the selector lever.
Driving with an electric
motor
Take your foot off of the accelerator care-
fully since the braking action of the motor
can be stronger than that in vehicles with com-
bustion engines. Otherwise an unexpected
reduction in speed may cause you to become an
obstacle to other road users.

Energy recovery
Your MINI makes it possible to convert kinetic
energy into electrical energy and to partially
recharge the high voltage battery in this way.
Energy can be recovered when the following
conditions are met:
> The vehicle is in motion.
> Selector lever position D is engaged.
> The accelerator is not depressed at all, or
only within the first third of the accelerator
travel distance.
Energy recovery and accelerator
position
The vehicle is braked during energy recovery.
The deceleration depends on the accelerator
position.
Accelerator position:
1 Deceleration
The less the accelerator is depressed, the
greater the deceleration.
This charges the high voltage battery using
the recovered energy.
2 Constant speed or acceleration
The high voltage battery supplies energy.
When you raise your foot off of the accel-
erator, the vehicle deceleration is similar
to that caused by light braking. The brake lamps
go on although the brake pedal is not
depressed.
<
Energy recovery cannot take place when:
>
the selector level is in position N or R.
>
Dynamic Stability Control is active.
>
the temperature of the high voltage battery
is below +25
7 /-4 6
In winter, energy recovery may not be avail-
able immediately after the vehicle is started,
e.g. if the vehicle was standing outside over-
night.
Be ready to apply the brakes at all
times, since energy recovery is not a
substitute for braking action. Otherwise an
accident may occur.

> the temperature of the high voltage battery
is above +120
