Hi! I have a 2013 Mini Countryman S ALL4 with Mini Connected and H/K sound system, and it's a manual (if that is of any relevance). I've recently figured out online that the Mini Cooper features an Auto Start/Stop system, and because I like to get as good of an mpg rating as possible, I'd love to know if my car has this feature and if so, where the button is. I'm out of town now so I cant go look at my car (it's in my garage).

Thanks everyone!

Afaik that option started with 2014 F series cars, not Countrymen.

 

MINI have had Auto Start/Stop in Europe since 2007, but didn't bring it to the US because it provided no advantage for EPA mileage ratings (EPA testing didn't account for it). EPA testing methodology has since changed and MINI finally brought Auto Start/Stop to the US with the F series.
