Transporting children safely – Mini 2013 Clubvan User Manual

Page 6

Your MINI Clubvan is equipped with safety belts
for the driver and passenger.
Also follow the instructions for using safety belts
in the Owner's Manual for the MINI/
MINI Clubman.

Since there is no rear seat, please note the fol-
lowing specifics about transporting children
safely.

Also follow the general instructions for
"Transporting children safely" in the

Owner's Manual for the MINI/MINI Clubman.

Do not leave children unattended in the
vehicle; otherwise, they could endanger

themselves and/or other persons by opening the
doors, for example.

Should it be necessary to use a child restraint
system on the front passenger seat, make sure
that the front and side airbags for the front pas-
senger side are deactivated.
For more information on automatic deactivation
of the front passenger airbags, refer to the
Owner's Manual for the MINI/MINI Clubman.

If a child restraint system is used on the
front passenger seat, the front passenger

airbags must be deactivated; otherwise, a child
traveling in that seat faces an increased risk of
injury if the airbags are triggered, even with a
child restraint system.

Children 13 years of age or older must be
buckled in with a safety belt as soon as

there no longer is any child restraint system that
is appropriate for their age, size and weight.

The safety belt for the passenger can be pre-
vented from being pulled out in order to secure
child restraint systems.

Use the tether strap securing eye to secure
child restraint systems only; otherwise, the

securing eye could be damaged.

There is one additional securing eye for child
restraint systems with tether straps, arrow. The
position is indicated.

Make sure the upper retaining strap does
not run over sharp edges and is not

twisted as it passes to the top securing eye. Oth-
erwise, the strap will not properly secure the
child restraint system in the event of an acci-
dent.
