rectly. The 'Fasten safety belts'

reminder is issued when the driver's safety belt
has not been fastened. The 'Fasten safety belts'

approx. 5 mph or 8 km/h if the front passenger's
safety belt has not been fastened, if objects are
placed on the front passenger seat, or if driver or

Damage to safety belts

If the safety belts are damaged or stressed
in an accident: have the safety belt system

and its seat-belt tensioners replaced and the
belt anchors checked. Have this work carried out
only by a MINI dealer or by a workshop that has
specially trained personnel working in accor-
dance with the specifications of the MINI manu-
facturer; otherwise, correct operation of these
safety systems is not ensured.
