ROOF-MOUNTED LUGGAGE RACK *
Always position and secure the load
as described above. If you do not, it
can pose a danger to the passengers during
braking and evasive maneuvers, for exam-
ple.
Do not exceed the permissible gross weight
and axle load, refer to page
143 ff; other-
wise the vehicle's operating safety is no
longer assured and it will not be in compli-
ance with the certification regulations.
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 on the MINI, make sure
that there is sufficient space for the move-
ment of the glass sunroof and that no
objects protrude into the swiveling area of
the tailgate, as otherwise damage can
occur. Do not secure the roof-mounted lug-
gage rack to the MINI's trim strips or to the
MINI Convertible top. Otherwise, the lack
of a secure hold could lead to damage or
accidents.
<
Special roof-mounted luggage racks
for your MINI are available as acces-
sories from your MINI Dealer. <
