PostCrash – iBrake

Concept In the event of an accident, the system can bring the vehicle to a halt automatically without intervention by the driver in cer- tain situations. This can reduce the risk of a further collision and the consequences thereof. At standstill After coming to a halt, the brake is released automatically. Secure the vehicle against rolling. Harder vehicle braking In certain situations, it can be necessary to bring the vehicle to a halt more quickly than the Brake Assistant allows. To do this, quickly apply extra force to the brake. For a brief period, the braking pres- sure will be higher than the braking pres- sure that is achieved by the automatic brak- ing function. This interrupts automatic braking.

Servotronic

Servotronic is a speed-dependent power steering function. The system provides the steering force with more support at low speeds than at higher ones. This makes it easier to park, for in- stance, and makes steering firmer when driving at faster speeds. Furthermore, the steering force adapts ac- cording to the driving program, so that a firm, sporty feel or a comfortable steering response is conveyed.

The fish and the movements of the water in the bowl symbolize the efficiency of the driving style. The more efficient the driving style, the less the water sloshes around in the bowl and the better is the fish's mood. If the driving style is inefficient, the water oscillates, the fish's mood worsens, and a reduced number of stars is displayed. The table of values contains stars and evalu- ates the driving style in different catego- ries. The more efficient the driving style, the more stars are displayed in the table. The bonus range achieved by a driving style that minimizes consumption is displayed below the table of values. The more effi- cient the driving style, the faster the bonus range increases.

CAUTION The use of poor-quality fuels may result in harmful engine deposits or damage. Addi- tionally, problems relating to drivability, starting and stalling, especially under cer- tain environmental conditions such as high ambient temperature and high alti- tude, may occur. If drivability problems are encountered, we recommend switching to a high quality gasoline brand and a higher octane grade — AKI number — for a few tank fills. To avoid harmful engine deposits, it is highly recommended to purchase gasoline from Top Tier retailers. Failure to comply with these recommenda- tions may result in the need for unsched- uled maintenance.

Recommended fuel grade MINI recommends AKI 91. John Cooper Works: MINI recommends AKI 93. Refuel with this gasoline to achieve the rated performance and consumption values.

Minimum fuel grade MINI recommends AKI 89. John Cooper Works: MINI recommends AKI 91. If you use gasoline with this minimum AKI Rating, the engine may produce knocking sounds when starting at high external tem- peratures. This has no effect on the engine life.
