Boot lid/tailgate operation (remote control)

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.

When pressure is maintained on the button for opening the boot lid/tailgate for longer than 0.5 seconds, the boot lid/tailgate's lock is disengaged. If the vehicle is equipped with a power tailgate then the command that will reverse the tailgate's current status will start and then proceed for as long as pressure is maintained on the button. If the boot lid/tailgate is open then it will close; if it is closed then it will open.

The delay period between actuation and the reaction at the tailgate can be specifically encoded.
