Important limits

  • The selected hours are preferred, not absolute; the Countryman may charge outside them to reach the target by departure.
  • Charging-station schedules, utility controls or a lost data connection can affect timing.
  • A high charging target and short window may require substantial charging outside the preferred period.
If it does not work

Quick checks.

  • ✓If charging starts outside the slot, compare the remaining time, departure time and target state of charge before assuming a fault.
  • ✓Refresh vehicle status and confirm the correct Countryman and MINI ID are selected in the app.
  • ✓If the timer will not save, reconnect the cable, verify connectivity and re-enter the departure plan.
