LOADING CARGO
ROOF-MOUNTED LUGGAGE RACK
*
Always position and secure the load
carefully. If you do not, it can endan-
ger the passengers during braking or eva-
sive maneuvers.
Do not exceed the permissible gross weight
and axle load, see page
vehicle's operating safety is no longer
assured and you are in violation of the law.
Do not stow heavy or hard objects in the
passenger compartment without first
securing them. Otherwise they would be
thrown around during braking and evasive
maneuvers and endanger the occupants.
<
When loading a roof-mounted lug-
gage rack, ensure that there is suffi-
cient space for the movement of the slid-
ing/tilt sunroof and that no objects
protrude into the swiveling area of the tail-
gate, as otherwise damage can occur.
<
Do not secure the roof-mounted lug-
gage rack to the trim panels/strips:
the lack of a secure hold could lead to dam-
age or accidents.
<
Special roof-mounted luggage racks
for your MINI are available as acces-
sories from your MINI Dealer.
