Load

4-seater:

5-seater:

The permissible load is the sum of the occu-

pants' weights and the weight of the cargo. The

greater the weight of the occupants, the less

cargo/luggage can be transported.

Stowing cargo

> Position heavy objects as low and as far for-

ward as possible, ideally directly behind the

rear seat backrests.

> Cover sharp edges and corners.

> For very heavy cargo when the rear seat is

not occupied, secure each safety belt in the

respective opposite buckle.

> Do not stack higher than the top edge of the

backrests.

> Use the cargo net, refer to page 104. Ensure

that no objects can penetrate through the

net.

Securing cargo

> Secure smaller and lighter items using

retaining or draw straps.

> Heavy-duty cargo straps for securing larger

and heavier objects are available at your

MINI dealer.

> These cargo straps are fastened using eight

securing eyes.

Two of them are located on the side wall,

arrows 1, of the cargo area.

Two of them are located on the rear wall,

arrows 2, of the cargo area.

To use the lower lashing eyes, raise or remove

the pull-out floor panel.

Comply with the information enclosed with the

load-securing devices.

Always position and secure the cargo as

described above, so that it cannot endan-

ger the car's occupants, for example if sudden

braking or swerves are necessary.

Do not exceed the approved gross vehicle

weight and axle loads, page 230; otherwise, the

vehicle's operating safety is no longer assured

and the vehicle will not be in compliance with

the construction and use regulations.
