Things to remember when driving

DRIVING TIPS

119

MINI Convertible:

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.
