Crash unlocking

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 6 other vehicles, including the 2016 MINI Cooper Countryman, 2015 MINI Cooper Countryman, 2014 MINI Cooper Countryman, 2013 MINI Cooper, and 2012 MINI Cooper. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

A crash is detected by the multiple restraint system (MRS). A crash message is transmitted to the CAS. The message is sent on the K-CAN. The CAS unlocks the vehicle. All operating points are disabled when there is a crash message. This prevents unintentional actions of the central locking system from occurring due to line short circuits caused by the accident. The central locking system can only be reactivated after a crash once terminal R has been switched off for at least 3 seconds.
