How do I turn on/off the rearview camera in my MINI?

The rearview camera helps when reverse parking and maneuvering. The area behind the vehicle is shown in the camera view on the Interaction Unit. The rearview camera turns on when reversing and can be operated via the Interaction Unit or Park Assist key. Additional displays can be shown on the camera view, e.g., parking assistance lines and obstacle markings. 

 

Turning the camera view on automatically:

The rearview camera is automatically turned on if selector lever position R is engaged while drive-ready state is on.

 

Turning the camera view off automatically:

Turning the camera view on/off manually:

  1. Press the Park Assist key on the switch cluster. The parking assistance systems view is displayed.
  2. Engage selector lever position R. The rearview camera view is switched on.

Depending on vehicle equipment: The icon for automatic camera perspective is automatically selected in the selection window.

To exit rearview camera view, select another camera view in the selection window or press the Park Assist key again.
