How do I activate the "Remote Engine Start" function for my MINI with Operating System 9 in the MINI App after a MINI Connected Upgrade?

Once you have booked the "Remote Engine Start" vehicle function as a MINI Connected Upgrade for your MINI with Operating System 9, you must activate the function once. In the MINI App, select: "Vehicle" (tab) > "Remote Services". Alternatively, you can activate "Remote Engine Start" by locking three times with your vehicle key. Please note: The engine start is used to air-condition the passenger area for a maximum of 15 minutes before starting the journey. It is not possible to drive without the vehicle key or MINI Digital Key in the vehicle interior.
