Changing battery
Replace if it is no longer possible to unlock
the vehicle via the remote control.
Only use a battery of the type speci-
fied on the battery – CR 2032 – and
make absolutely sure that it is fitted in the
correct position.
1. Apply a screwdriver at the recess
2. Use the screwdriver to lever out the
cover.
Return used batteries to a recycling
point or your MINI Dealer.
Initializing the master key with remote
control
When you activate a master key with
remote control – for example a replace-
ment or additional key, or after a battery
change – it must be initialized.
This initialization can be performed in two
ways:
Press button 1 or button 2, see page 24,
four times in succession
or
if the vehicle is unlocked:
1. Switch the ignition on briefly –
position 2 – and then off
2. Within 10 seconds, press button 1 and
button 2, see page 24, in succession.
In the event of a system malfunction,
please contact your MINI Dealer. You
can also obtain replacement keys and bat-
teries there.
