Interior lighting/Panic button
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.
Depending upon the national-market version, the interior light/panic button may also be assigned the function
- panic alarm (USA) or
- interior light (ECE)
If the button has been assigned the "panic alarm" function then pressing the button for longer than 3 seconds will trigger the anti-theft alarm system. The panic alarm can be cancelled by pressing any of the buttons on the remote key. This deactivates the panic alarm. The button must be pressed again to execute its own assigned function.
Each time the button for the interior light function is pressed the power module switches on the interior light.
