MINI how-to guide: This is how you change the settings for feedback at the steering wheel of your MINI with Operating System 9.

Certain driver assistance systems in your MINI with Operating System 9 give you additional tactile or visual feedback at the steering wheel to reinforce the system's warning function or provide a supporting impulse. You can change the settings for feedback at the steering wheel.

Requirements:

  • In your MINI with Operating System 9, you will receive feedback at the steering wheel.
  • For certain driver assistance systems, your MINI with Operating System 9 requires optional equipment ex works.

Important notes:

  • You can set feedback at the steering wheel for the following driver assistance systems:
    • Lane Change Warning
    • Lane Departure Warning (availability varies depending on country of delivery)
    • Assisted Driving Mode (with SA 5AU)
    • Side Collision Warning (with SA 5AU)
  • You can only set the vibration level of the steering wheel ("Strong", "Medium" or "Weak") for all collision warning systems together.
  • You can switch the "light elements" on the steering wheel for Assisted Driving Mode on or off.
  • You can switch the steering wheel impulse for the driver assistance system "Lane change with active route guidance" on or off: Driving settings button > "Driver assistance" > "Driving" > "Actively follow the route" > "Steering wheel impulse".
  • The systems do not relieve you from your responsibility to assess the traffic situation correctly. Due to system limits, the systems cannot react appropriately in all traffic situations. There is risk of accident, danger of injury and danger of property damage. Adapt your driving style to the traffic conditions, observe the traffic situation and remain ready to steer and brake at all times so that you can actively intervene if necessary.

Step 1:
Press the direct access button "Driving settings menu" in the control centre.

Alternatively, select the following in the MINI system: Apps menu > "VEHICLE" (menu bar at the top) > "Driving settings".

 

Step 2:

Select "Driver assistance".

 

Step 3:

Select "Feedback at the steering wheel".

 

Step 4:

Select "Vibration level" or "Light elements".

 

Step 5:

Select the desired setting.
