MINI
Warning Lights

Red warning lights can indicate critical safety issues that require prompt action to ensure your well-being and the safety of others on the road, such as information about problems with the braking system.

Other times, you may see red warning lights for your MINI vehicle’s drive assist features, which may include:

-Forward Collision Mitigation

-Distance Control

-Assisted Driving Mode

Be alert to red lights for safety features, which will alert you of a potential collision or more.

Yellow warning lights in your MINI indicate that something needs attention.

One common yellow light is the tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) indicator. When this light comes on, it tells you that one or more of your MINI vehicle’s tires may be underinflated.

Alternatively, the flat tire indicator is yellow, so you should pull over as soon as it's safe to assess the issue.

Another example is the engine management light, which monitors the vehicle’s emissions system. If this light appears, your MINI’s onboard diagnostics system has detected a potential issue, and it’s essential to schedule a service appointment soon to prevent further complications.

Green warning lights in your MINI often give you updates about systems functioning normally.

For example, when you engage your turn signals or activate your headlights, you’ll see a green indicator light to confirm that these systems are working correctly.

Similarly, if your cruise control is turned on but is not yet set, a green light will let you know the system is ready.

Another helpful green light is the distance control indicator. This light tells you that your MINI’s adaptive cruise control system is monitoring the traffic ahead to maintain a safe distance from the car in front.

Along with the significant colors we addressed, there are a few more types of lights you may see on your MINI dashboard:

• The blue lights indicate high beam action, making sure you’re aware of the illumination level your MINI is providing.
• Gray warning lights in your MINI indicate certain specifics are on standby.
• White lights can indicate that systems like cruise control are ready to be activated but haven’t been set yet.

You can learn all about what the different MINI warning lights on your vehicle mean when you consult your owner’s manual and/or maintenance schedule.
