24
Opening
In some national-market versions, the tail-
gate/splitdoor cannot be unlocked using
the remote control unless the vehicle is
unlocked first.<
MINI
Press the button in the handle, arrow, or the
button of the remote control, for an
extended period. The tailgate is unlocked and
can be opened.
MINI Clubman
Only drive with the splitdoor fully closed,
otherwise the tail lamps will be obscured
and driving safety will be compromised.<
Press the button in the handle or the but-
ton of the remote control for an extended time.
The splitdoor is unlocked.
Using the button in the handle, fully open first
the right side, arrow 1, and then the left side of
the splitdoor, arrow 2.
Closing
Make sure that the closing path of the tail-
gate/splitdoor is clear, otherwise injuries
may occur.<
MINI
The handle recesses on the interior trim panel of
the tailgate make it easier to pull it down.
MINI Clubman
Close the left side, arrow 1, and then the right
side of the splitdoor, arrow 2.
Alarm system*
The principle
The alarm system, when activated, reacts if:
> A door, the engine compartment lid or the
tailgate is opened
> There is movement inside the car
> The car's inclination changes, for instance if
an attempt is made to jack it up and steal the
wheels or to raise it prior to towing away
> There is an interruption in the power supply
from the battery
The alarm system briefly indicates unauthorized
entry or tampering by means of:
> An acoustic alarm
> Switching on the hazard warning flashers
