▷ Adapting to the course of the road when
destination guidance is activated.
▷ System-related requirement for hybrid
components.
Automatic switching off while driving
When reducing speed, the combustion engine
is switched off when the conditions for electric
driving, refer to page 93, are met.
Assistance from the elec‐
tric motor
Concept
The combustion engine provides the main drive
power to move the vehicle.
The electric motor provides assistance as
needed with additional propulsive power.
eASSIST
During normal vehicle operation, the electric
motor assists the combustion engine, depend‐
ing on the situation. This assistance reduces
fuel consumption.
eBOOST
Accelerating quickly, such as when passing, re‐
quires the maximum available power from the
electric motor. To do this, apply extra force to
the accelerator pedal.
Energy recovery: CHARGE
Concept
The hybrid system makes it possible to convert
kinetic energy into electrical energy during
braking and coasting. This recovered energy
charges the high-voltage battery. If necessary,
this stored electrical energy is output to the
electric motor.
General information
Depending on the setting of the MINI Driving
Modes switch, the high-voltage battery is
charged at different speeds and the vehicle is
decelerated differently while coasting.
Functional requirements
Conditions such as the following must be met
to recover kinetic energy:
▷ The vehicle is moving.
▷ Selector lever position D, M/S is set.
▷ The high-voltage battery is not fully
charged.
Displays in the instrument cluster
Energy recovery displays in the instrument clus‐
ter, refer to page 111.
Parking brake
Concept
The parking brake is used to prevent the vehi‐
cle from rolling when it is parked.
Safety information
WARNING
An unsecured vehicle can begin to move
and possibly roll away. There is a risk of an acci‐
dent. Before exiting, secure the vehicle against
rolling.
In order to ensure that the vehicle is secured
against rolling away, follow the following:
▷ Set the parking brake.
▷ On uphill grades or on a downhill slope,
turn the front wheels in the direction of the
curb.
▷ On uphill grades or on a downhill slope,
also secure the vehicle, for instance with a
wheel chock.◀
