Power convertible top
So that you can get the most enjoyment
out of your MINI Convertible, please
observe the following tips:
>It is recommended that you close the
convertible top whenever the vehicle is
parked.
The closed convertible top not only pro-
tects the vehicle interior from damage
due to unforeseen bad weather, but also
provides a certain degree of protection
against theft
>Even when the convertible top is closed,
keep valuable items in the locked lug-
gage compartment or in the lockable
glove compartment
>Do not mount any roof rack systems on
the convertible top
>To avoid damage, do not operate the
convertible top at temperatures below
14
7/–106.
Do not leave the convertible top
folded for more than one day if it is
wet, to prevent permanent damage from
moisture. Do not place any objects on the
convertible top, as they could otherwise fall
off while the convertible top is being oper-
ated and result in damage or personal
injury.
<
Driving off before an opening or clos-
ing procedure is completely finished
can lead to damage or personal injury.
Make sure that the convertible top's travel
path is clear and do not reach into the con-
vertible top mechanism during opening or
closing procedures, otherwise injuries may
result. Keep children away from the swivel-
ing area of the convertible top while it is in
operation.
<
Before closing the convertible top, remove
any foreign objects from the windshield
frame. They could prevent the convertible
top from closing.
To conserve battery power, if possible
operate the convertible top only
while the engine is running.
Only operate the convertible top when the
vehicle is at a standstill. Otherwise, the pro-
cedure cannot be carried out or it will be
interrupted.
In order to operate the convertible top, the
loading aid must be locked and the luggage
compartment cover must be in its lower
position, refer to page
94 . <
