The motto “Every MINI is my MINI” is about innovative car-sharing, with MINI fans of the future able to access and tailor any MINI to their own personal preferences, anywhere and at any time. The MINI will be available to everybody at all times, picking drivers up autonomously from wherever they like and adjusting the car’s appearance, driving characteristics and connectivity to suit the user’s personal lifestyle. New, customized mobility with the MINI VISION NEXT 100 builds on connected digital intelligence.

DIGITALLY MINE

In a future where a single MINI can be shared amongst everyone, a new generation of technology enables the car to always look and feel like your own. Parts of the exterior surfaces transform to suit your personal preferences and beam a personalized greeting as you approach it. The Cooperizer is a colored translucent circular instrument in the center of the car and is the heart and mind of the MINI VISION NEXT 100 – communicating with the driver through dynamic changes in color.

Over time, the MINI VISION NEXT 100 learns from your behavior and recognizes what you want, suggesting great, new places to meet up with friends and inspiring routes you’ll love. The Cooperizer’s “inspire me” function also offers you the option of experiencing someone else’s personal driving mode, from friends, family, celebrities and even creative visionaries. Between journeys, the vision car will drive autonomously to a service hub, where it’s cleaned and recharged, before zipping off to meet another driver.

The MINI VISION NEXT 100 pays homage to MINI’s iconic design by positioning the wheels in the far corners of the vehicle, maximizing handling and feel. The vehicle sports a transparent front-end, giving the driver an unprecedented sense of freedom and speed. The design also allows projections to be beamed in view, providing an even more dynamic driving experience. The Cooperizer controls the driving mood, offering a gentle, relaxed drive or sports mode for a super-charged experience.mini-rear

Diagnostic Procedures For Stop/Start Systems

Stop/start technology is more than just a switch wired to the brake pedal and starter.

When trying to resolve a complaint, code or no-start/no-crank condition on a stop/start vehicle, it is essential to know how the system operates. The problem may not have a complicated reason – something simple may be causing the stop/start system not to work.

The greatest obstacle to the advancement of stop/start technology is the driver’s and technician’s lack of trust in and knowledge of the technology. Many older drivers and technicians fear that stopping and starting the engine will cause a shorter life for the battery, starter and engine. But the real fear is that the engine will not start again at a green light.
