Driving stability control systems
Vehicle features and options
This chapter describes model-specific
equipment, systems, and functions that are
currently available, or may become available
in the future, even if they are not present in
the vehicle.
Additional information:
Vehicle equipment, refer to page 8.
Antilock Braking System
Principle
The Antilock Braking System prevents lock-
ing of the wheels during the braking proc-
ess.
The vehicle maintains its steerability even
during emergency braking, which increases
the active driving safety.
The Antilock Braking System activates au-
tomatically whenever drive-ready state is
turned on.
Malfunction
The warning light illuminates on the
Interaction Unit.
A Check Control message is dis-
played.
– The Antilock Braking System is not
available.
– The ability to steer is restricted during
full braking.
Have the vehicle checked immediately by
an authorized service center or another
qualified service center or repair shop.
Brake assistant
The brake assistant automatically applies
maximum braking assistance when the
brake pedal is depressed quickly. This re-
duces the braking distance to a minimum
for full braking.
To make full use of braking assistance, do
not reduce the pressure on the brake pedal
during full braking.
Dynamic Stability Control
Principle
Dynamic Stability Control can be activated
or deactivated via MINI Modes. Dynamic
Stability Control helps keep your vehicle
safely on the road in critical driving situa-
tions. The drive power is reduced depend-
ing on the situation, and wheels can be
braked individually.
The Dynamic Stability Control will detect,
e.g., the following unstable driving condi-
tions:
– Skidding, which can lead to oversteer-
ing.
– Loss of adhesion of the front wheels,
which can lead to understeering.
Safety information
Warning
The system cannot serve as a substitute
for the driver’s personal judgment in as-
sessing the traffic situation. Based on the
limits of the system, it cannot independ-
ently react to all traffic situations. There
is a risk of accident, injury, or property
