Happy Fathers Day to all Dads out there. Today is worth a second or two to remember the important place our kids have in our lives.

Attentiveness Assistant Attentiveness Assistant is a convenience feature that can help recognize decreasing driver attention and suggests that they take a break. Since November 2016 production, this feature has been included with the optional touchscreen navigation system on the Clubman and Countryman. Moving forward, it will now be included on all Clubman and Countryman as a standard feature.

Apple CarPlay From July production onward, Apple CarPlay support will come as part of Technology Package (ZTP) in the Clubman and Countryman. Apple CarPlay enables owners to use many of their iPhone features and Apple’s familiar user interface on the car’s in-dash screen. They don’t even need to plug in. (For more information about Apple CarPlay, visit www.apple/com/ios/carplay). Note that Model Year 2018 John Cooper Works Countryman ALL4 and Cooper S E Countryman ALL4 (PHEV) vehicles produced from March 2017 through the end of June 2017 cannot support Apple CarPlay.

Rear View Camera and Rear Park Distance Control As of model year 2018, all MINI vehicles will come standard with rear view camera and Rear Park Distance Control. The standard rear view camera comes one year ahead of U.S. regulations that will require all new cars to have one. In addition, the rear PDC enriches the user experience with an audio tone when an object is detected, on-screen guidance lines and red/yellow/green graphics, and for vehicles equipped with excitement package 4V9, corresponding red/yellow/green warning on the Center Instrument LED ring. As rear camera and rear PDC are now standard on all models, the Technology Package (ZTP) will now include Front and Rear PDC with Parallel Parking Assistant (5DP), which was previously a $500 additional upgrade.
