LOADING CARGO

Stowing cargo

>Place heavy cargo as far forward as possi-

ble – directly behind the backrests – and
as low as possible.

>Cover sharp edges and corners

>Do not pile objects higher than the top

edge of the backrest

>For very heavy cargo when the rear seat

is unoccupied, fasten each safety belt in
the opposite buckle. This provides addi-
tional stabilization for the rear backrests.

Securing the load

>Secure smaller and lighter items using

the cargo area net

or elastic straps

>For large, heavy items, see your MINI

Dealer for load-securing devices

. Lash-

ing eyes are provided at the inner corners
of the cargo area for attaching these
load-securing devices

>Comply with the information enclosed

with the load-securing devices.
