Vehicle Memory: Notes

Various operating features in MINI vehicles can be customized using Vehicle Memory.

The customer must be informed about possible choices before delivery by filling out a selection sheet. One copy of the questionnaire stays with the customer, one copy goes to the sales department, and one copy to the service department. According to the customer choices, the vehicle should be customized during the QC 1. Selection changes during the ownership period are not reimbursable under warranty. The customer should not be charged for the programming. Individualizing your customer's vehicle is an important contribution to a positive customer experience.

NOTE: Any additional items contained in the table of all available options (attached) may also be programmed, but we recommend that they should be discussed with customers at a later date during a service consultation or upon customer request.

Using SSS, DISPlus, or GT1, select CIP to access the Vehicle Memory program:

After a short period of time the menu screen will be displayed with a list of all detected control systems capable of Vehicle Memory configuration.
Using the owner's selection list, enter the system selected for customization.
From the system submenu select the function to be altered.
Make the appropriate selection (activation/deactivation). The following symbols may be displayed next to the selection choice:
a light gray diamond symbol indicates present status
a factory icon indicates factory default (when present vehicle selection is different)
a highlighted diamond symbol indicates entered change in selection

After selecting all desired settings, make certain that encode vehicle is selected.

After a short amount of time, the selection screen will be displayed again, now showing the updated information.

Select "Print List" to have a paper record of the new settings. Place the printed list in the vehicle service file for future reference.

IMPORTANT: Observe the battery voltage level during the configuration. A low voltage condition will terminate the process or will incorrectly configure the vehicle.
