A function of the Mini F56 remote control not described in the user manual.

Model: Mini Mini F57, F56, F55, F54 - Years 2014-2023
Part: Key

In this video, the youtuber shares with us a little-known feature he discovered on his Mini F56; we are aware of the functionality that allows us to enter the car if we don't have enough space to open the door, called "Comfort Entry" which allows us to fully open the door window, which has no frames and therefore we can easily slide inside. This is achieved by holding down the unlock button on the remote control, or by holding down the door handle. This is a feature described in the user manual. What is not described, however, is the double click on the unlock button: it seems like nothing happens, but if we go to open the door, the window will go down three quarters, allowing us, in a tight parking space, to enter by leaning our head out; closing the door, the window automatically goes back up. Very convenient.

How to Adjust the Handbrake on VW Polo

If pulling the handbrake lever results in a long travel distance, significantly exceeding the usual 4 to 5 clicks, it means you need to adjust the travel to compensate for cable slack and wear on the shoes. This is a manual operation carried out using the adjustment nuts located at the base of the handbrake lever. Release and lift the plastic cover at the base of the lever to access the cables (one for each shoe) and their respective adjusters. First, loosen the lock nut and tighten the nut to pull the cable until the lever achieves a travel of 4 to 5 clicks.
