This short video illustrates the operation of the "openometer" option on your Mini. This function allows you to calculate how long the roof of the Mini convertible has been kept open. Press the "BC" button located at the end of the indicator stalk to scroll through the list of functions that will appear on the onboard computer screen. Once the openometer function appears, you will see two numbers: the one on the left indicates the total driving time during the journey, while the one on the right tells you how long you have driven with the roof down.
