I Hope you Know

I just drove home and noticed a light appear on the large speedometer in the center of the dash. A small green light illuminating what appears as a clock face, or maybe some other dial pointing to 11 O'clock. Any idea what this means?

Did you have the cruise control on, that's a green light.

I just looked up that light in the owner's manual and it states that it is the arming indicator for the driver ejection seat.

The light to which you refer is indicating that your cruise control is active.

I know I should not reveal this, but I know we can all trust NAM members, you may be right. I said I was driving home, but I didn't say I was driving home from a secrete mission. Before I left, I left my lil guy with "M" for some special mods. I was on such an urgent mission I wasn't fully briefed on what they did. I needed to be dispatched ASAP. You may be correct, it can be the ejection seat armiming alert light, I'll check with "M". Thanks for your help.

Boy do I feel like a dummy. You folks are correct, I must have accidently pressed the cruise control button. I also spoke to "M" who informed me they NEVER add an ejection mod to a MINI. He said they conducted studies that concluded that MINI owners would never eject from their vehicles, they would rather go down with the ship.

By the way, I don't think it was mentioned that when you shut the car off the cruise resets to off.
