Coasting
Concept
The function helps to conserve fuel.
To do this, under certain conditions the engine
is automatically decoupled from the transmis‐
sion when selector lever position D is set. The
vehicle continues traveling with the engine
idling to reduce fuel consumption. Selector
lever position D remains engaged.
This driving condition is referred to as coasting.
As soon as you step on the brake or accelerator
pedal, the engine is automatically coupled
again.
General information
Coasting is a component of the GREEN driving
mode.
Coasting is automatically activated when the
GREEN driving mode is called via the MINI Driv‐
ing Modes switch, refer to page 136.
A proactive driving style helps the driver to use
the function often and supports the fuel-con‐
serving effect of coasting.
