ing one or onto other objects. Only use floor mats that have been approved for the vehicle and can be appropriately fastened.

Make sure that the floor mats are securely fas- tened again after they have been removed, e.g. for cleaning.<

Driving in wet conditions When roads are wet or there is heavy rain, briefly exert gentle pressure on the brake pedal every few miles. Monitor traffic conditions to ensure that this maneuver does not endanger other road users. The heat generated in this process helps dry the pads and rotors to ensure that Then full braking force will be immediately avail- able when it is needed.

Hills

To prevent overheating and the resulting reduced efficiency of the brake system, drive long or steep downhill gradients in the gear in which the least braking is required. Even light but consistent brake pressure can lead to high temperatures, brake wear and possibly even brake failure.< You can increase the engine's braking effect by shifting down, all the way to first gear if neces- sary. This strategy helps you avoid placing excessive loads on the brake system. Downshift- ing in manual mode of the automatic transmis- sion, page 47.

Never drive with the clutch held down, with the transmission in neutral or with

the engine switched off; otherwise, engine brak- ing action will not be present or there will be no power assistance to the brakes or steering. Never allow floor mats, carpets or any other objects to protrude into the area around the pedals; otherwise, pedal function could be impaired.<

Corrosion on brake rotors When the vehicle is driven only occasionally, during extended periods when the vehicle is not used at all, and in operating conditions where brake applications are less frequent, there is an increased tendency for corrosion to form on rotors, while contaminants accumulate on the brake pads. This occurs because the minimum pressure which must be exerted by the pads

during brake applications to clean the rotors is not reached. Should corrosion form on the brake rotors, the brakes will tend to respond with a pulsating effect that even extended application will fail to cure.

When the vehicle is parked Condensation forms while the automatic climate control is in operation, and then exits under the vehicle. Traces of condensed water under the vehicle are therefore normal. In the MINI Cooper S, the coolant pump may continue to run for some time after the engine is switched off. This will generate noise in the engine compartment.

Cargo loading

To avoid loading the tires beyond their approved carrying capacity, never over- load the vehicle. Overloading can lead to over- heating and increases the rate at which damage develops inside the tires. The ultimate result can assume the form of a sudden blowout.<

Avoid fluid spills in the cargo area as they could damage the vehicle.<

Cargo area cover

Do not place any objects on the cover; otherwise, they could endanger the car's occupants, e.g. in the case of braking or sudden swerving, or they may damage the cover.< When you open the liftgate, the roll-up cover is raised. To load bulky luggage, the cover can be removed.

When folding the backrest back up, make sure that the seat's locking mechanisms

engage properly. Otherwise, cargo could be thrown around in the event of sharp braking or swerving and endanger the occupants.<

3. Fold back the backrest until it engages.

If the rear seat backrests are positioned at a steeper angle, do not install child

restraint systems in the rear of the vehicle as their protective features may be ineffective.<

MINI Convertible: luggage compartment Do not place any objects on the luggage compartment roller cover, as this may

damage the cover or the convertible top.<

Loading aid When the convertible top is closed, you can load the vehicle more easily by releasing the convert- ible top and folding it up. 1. Release the convertible top using the han-

dles, see arrows 1.

2. Lift the convertible top, see arrow 2. 3. Fold back the handles and place them on

holders 3.

3. Fold the backrest forward.

95

When folding the backrest back into its original position, always ensure that the catch engages securely. A loose backrest might fail to prevent cargo from entering the passen- ger compartment during sudden braking or eva- sive maneuvers, posing a potential hazard to occupants. The belt guide loop, refer to page 39, must be closed.<

Determining cargo limit

5. Determine the combined weight of luggage and cargo being loaded on the vehicle. That weight may not safely exceed the available cargo and luggage load capacity calculated in step 4. If your vehicle will be towing a trailer, part of the load from your trailer will be transferred to your vehicle. Consult the manual for transporting a trailer to determine how this may reduce the available cargo and luggage load capacity of your vehicle.

6.

Load

1. Locate the following statement on your

vehicle's placard*:

The combined weight of occupants and cargo should never exceed

XXX kg or YYY lbs. Otherwise, this could damage the vehicle and produce unstable vehicle operating conditions.<

2. Determine the combined weight of the

driver and passengers that will be riding in your vehicle.

3. Subtract the combined weight of the driver and passengers from XXX kilograms or YYY pounds.

4. The resulting figure equals the available

amount of cargo and luggage load capacity. For example, if the XXX amount equals 1,400 lbs. and there will be four 150 lbs. pas- sengers in your vehicle, the amount of avail- able cargo and luggage load capacity is 650 lbs: 1,400 lbs. minus 750 lbs. = 650 lbs.

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.

Securing cargo

weight and axle loads, page 169; otherwise, the vehicle's operating safety is no longer assured and the vehicle will not be in compliance with the construction and use regulations. Heavy or hard objects should not be carried loose inside the car, since they could be thrown around, for example as a result of heavy braking, sudden swerves, etc., and endanger the occu- pants. Do not secure cargo using the fastening points for the tether strap, page 42; they may become damaged.<

MINI: Roof-mounted luggage rack* A special rack system is available as an option for your MINI. Your MINI dealer will be glad to advise you. Comply with the installation instruc- tions supplied with the rack system.

Mounting points

> 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. Four lashing eyes are provided for attaching the cargo straps. Two of them are located on the forward wall of the cargo area. 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

Remove the cover panel.

Loading roof-mounted luggage rack Because roof racks raise the vehicle's center of gravity when loaded, they have a major effect on vehicle handling and steering response. You should therefore always remember not to exceed the approved roof load capacity, the approved gross vehicle weight or the axle loads when loading the rack. You can find the applicable data under Weights on page 169. The roof load must be distributed uniformly and should not be too large in area. Heavy items should always be placed at the bottom.

Think ahead while driving Avoid unnecessary acceleration and braking by maintaining a suitable distance to the vehicle driving ahead. Driving smoothly and anticipating impending traffic situations reduces fuel consumption.

Avoid high engine speeds Use first gear only for driving off. In second and higher gears, accelerate smoothly to a suitable engine and road speed. In doing so, avoid high engine speeds and shift up early. When you reach your desired traveling speed, shift to the highest suitable gear and drive at constant speed. As a rule: driving at low engine speeds lowers fuel consumption and reduces wear.

Coasting When approaching a red traffic light, take your foot off the accelerator and let the vehicle coast to a halt in the highest suitable gear. On a downhill gradient, take your foot off the accelerator and let the vehicle coast in a suitable gear. Fuel supply is shut off automatically when the vehicle is coasting.

Switch off the engine during lengthy stops Switch off the engine when stopping for lengthy periods, e.g. at traffic lights, railroad crossings or in traffic jams.

Have the vehicle serviced Have your vehicle serviced regularly to achieve good economy and a long vehicle life. The man- ufacturer of your MINI recommends having the vehicle serviced by a MINI dealer. Also note the MINI Maintenance System, page 131.

When loading, make sure that there is sufficient space for the movement of the glass sunroof and that no objects protrude into the swiveling area of the liftgate; otherwise, damage can occur. Fasten roof-mounted cargo correctly and securely to prevent it from shifting or falling off during the trip. Drive smoothly. Avoid sudden acceleration and braking maneuvers, and take corners gently.

Saving fuel Fuel consumption depends on a number of dif- ferent factors. The implementation of certain measures, your driving style and regular mainte- nance can have an influence on fuel consump- tion and on the environmental impact.

Remove unnecessary cargo Additional weight increases fuel consumption.

Remove attached parts no longer in use Remove auxiliary mirrors, roof- or rear-mounted luggage racks whenever you are not using them. Attached parts on the vehicle affect its aerody- namics and increase fuel consumption.

Check tire inflation pressure regularly Check and, if necessary, correct tire inflation pressure at least twice a month and before start- ing on a long trip. Low inflation pressure increases rolling resis- tance and thus leads to greater fuel consump- tion and tire wear.

Drive off immediately Do not wait for the engine to warm up while the vehicle remains stationary. Start driving right away, but at moderate engine speeds. This is the fastest way for the cold engine to reach its oper- ating temperature.
