Problem overview

Some Mini Cooper Countryman owners report experiencing issues with a locked back door, often due to several potential causes. These include the possibility that the child safety lock is engaged, which can be checked by locating a small black switch on the rear door. Additionally, some owners find that mechanical failures may prevent the door from opening, requiring professional assistance for diagnosis and repair. Others report that a flat battery can lead to central locking problems, making it difficult to unlock the doors. In emergencies, owners can attempt to unlock the door using the key or the MINI App's Remote Services feature. If basic troubleshooting does not resolve the issue, it is recommended to seek help from a mechanic or Mini Cooper specialist for a thorough inspection and repair.
