Coasting
Concept
The function helps to conserve fuel.
To do this, under certain conditions the en-
gine is automatically decoupled from the
transmission when selector lever position D
is set. The vehicle continues traveling with
the engine idling to reduce fuel consump-
tion. Selector lever position D remains en-
gaged.
This driving condition is referred to as
coasting.
As soon as you step on the brake or acceler-
ator pedal, the engine is automatically cou-
pled again.
General information
Coasting is a component of the GREEN driv-
ing mode.
Coasting is automatically activated when
the GREEN driving mode is called via the
MINI Driving Modes switch, refer to
page 176.
A proactive driving style helps the driver to
use the function often and supports the
fuel-conserving effect of coasting.

from approx. 15 mph/25 km/h up to
100 mph/160 km/h.
