• Brake System: When your brakes need attention, your brake system will display a red warning light that indicates you need immediate service.
• Parking Brake: If your parking brake is engaged, your MINI will show a red light that disappears once the brake is released.

• Active Cruise Control: When you set your preferred distance level, orange bars will illuminate to indicate your choice.
