LOADING CARGO

ROOF-MOUNTED LUGGAGE RACK

Always position and secure the load
carefully. If you do not, it can

endanger the passengers during braking
or evasive maneuvers.
Do not exceed the permissible gross weight
and axle load, see page 122, otherwise the
vehicle's operating safety is no longer
assured and you are in violation of the law.
Do not stow heavy or hard objects in the
passenger compartment without first
securing them. Otherwise they would be
thrown around during braking and evasive
maneuvers and endanger the occupants.

When loading a roof-mounted
luggage rack, ensure that there is

sufficient space for the movement of the
sliding/tilt sunroof and that no objects
protrude into the swiveling area of the tail-
gate, as otherwise damage can occur.

Do not secure the roof-mounted
luggage rack to the trim panels/

strips: the lack of a secure hold could lead
to damage or accidents.

Special roof-mounted luggage racks
for your MINI are available as acces-

sories from your MINI center.
