Split-folding rear seats To be able to transport larger objects, the rear backrest can be folded down. 1.
If necessary, use the integrated key to open the backrest lock 1.
2. Press button 2 and fold down backrest
together with the belt strap.
3. Fold the backrest forward.
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 evasive maneuvers, posing a potential hazard to occupants. The belt guide loop, refer to page 54, must be closed.<
Determining cargo limit
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 pounds or YYY kilograms.
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 lb-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.
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 MINI Coupe, MINI Roadster:
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.<

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
forward 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 MINI Coupe, MINI Roadster:

> 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.

Things to remember when driving
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 257 257; other- wise, the operating safety of the vehicle 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 58; they may become damaged.<
Rear luggage rack A special rack system is available as an option for your MINI. Please note the information contained in the assembly instructions.
Mounting points
The mounting points are under the protective caps in the bumper. Push out the caps at the respective slots.
Loading rear luggage rack When loading, make sure that the maximum allowed roof load, the gross vehicle weight and the axle loads are not exceeded. You can find the applicable data under Weights on page 257.

Saving fuel Your vehicle incorporates numerous technolo- gies for reducing fuel consumption and emissions. Fuel consumption depends on a number of dif- ferent factors. Fuel consumption and environ- mental pollution are affected by various actions, the manner of driving and regular maintenance.
Remove unnecessary cargo Additional weight increases fuel consumption.
Remove attached parts no longer in use Remove luggage rack if no longer needed after use. Attached parts on the vehicle affect its aerody- namics and increase fuel consumption.
Closing windows Open windows increase air resistance and therefore fuel consumption.
Check tire inflation pressure regularly Check and, if necessary, correct tire inflation pressure at least twice a month and before starting 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.
Think ahead while driving Avoid unnecessary acceleration and braking. by maintaining a suitable distance to the vehicle driving ahead. Looking-ahead and smooth driving reduces fuel consumption.

DRIVING TIPS
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 car roll to a stop in the highest gear possible. 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.
Switch off any features that are not currently required Features such as air conditioning, seat heaters and the rear window defroster require a great deal of energy and result in greater fuel con- sumption, especially in city driving and during Stop & Go operation. For this reason, switch off these features if they are not really needed.
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 225.

Traffic information
Overview In many congested areas, you can receive traffic information that is transmitted by radio stations. The traffic conditions are monitored by traffic control centers and the traffic information is updated periodically. During route guidance, the traffic information relevant to the route you are planning to take is automatically shown and taken into account in route planning. Irrespective of whether route guidance is active, you can have the traffic infor- mation displayed in the map display or as an event list.
The symbol in the toolbar of the map view
turns red if traffic information relates to the calculated route.
Real Time Traffic Information End-User Provisions Certain MINI models equipped with navigation have the capability to display real-time traffic information. If your system has this capability the following additional terms and conditions apply: An End-User shall no longer have the right to use the Traffic Data in the event that the End-User is in material breach of the terms and conditions contained herein.

Route guidance with traffic information
General information In semi-dynamic route guidance systems, detour suggestions by the navigation system can be added manually. In dynamic route guid- ance systems, they are automatically included in the route guidance.
Semi-dynamic route guidance With traffic information reception switched on, semi-dynamic route guidance is active. The system takes into account the existing traffic information during route guidance. A message is displayed as a function of the route, the traffic information, and the possible alternate routes. When there are obstructions to traffic, an alter- nate route is provided. The difference in dis- tance and time between the original route and the alternate route are also displayed.
