What is the Boost function in my MINI with Operating System 9?

The SPORT BOOST function can be used for upcoming acceleration, for example. This function is operated with the shift paddles on the steering wheel. The system prepares the vehicle. The shift paddles are located on the steering wheel.  

 

Using the function:

  1. To activate the Sport Boost function, pull and hold the left shift paddle.
    • The function is active.
  2. A countdown is shown on the Interaction Unit.
    • Before the countdown has finished, depress the accelerator pedal.
    • The vehicle accelerates. 

BOOST is shown on the Interaction Unit. The countdown can be restarted, for example if the function cannot be used immediately. To restart the countdown, pull and hold the left shift paddle again until the countdown is reset.
