Technology for driving comfort and safety Flat Tire Monitor FTM CONTROLS 3. "Flat Tire Monitor" The concept The system does not measure the actual inflation pressure in the tires. The system detects a pressure loss in a tire by comparing the rotational speeds of the individual wheels while moving. In the event of a pressure loss, the diameter and therefore the rotational speed of the corresponding wheel change. This is detected and reported as a flat tire.
CONTROLS Technology for driving comfort and safety Indication of a flat tire The warning lamps come on in yellow and red. A message appears on the Control Display. An acoustic signal also sounds. There is a flat tire or a major loss in tire inflation pressure. 1. Reduce speed and stop the vehicle with caution. Avoid sudden braking and steering maneuvers. 2. Check whether the vehicle is equipped with normal tires or with run-flat tires.
Technology for driving comfort and safety Vibrations or loud noises while driving can indicate final failure of the tire. Reduce your speed and bring the vehicle to a stop; otherwise, pieces of tire may come off, which could result in an accident.

Technology for driving comfort and safety Run-flat tires You can continue driving with a damaged tire at speeds up to 50 mph/80 km/h. If the vehicle is not equipped with run-flat tires, do not continue driving; continuing to drive can result in serious accidents.< Continued driving with a flat tire When driving with a damaged tire: 1. Avoid sudden braking and steering maneuvers. 2. Do not exceed a speed of 50 mph or 80 km/h. 3. At the next opportunity, check the air pressure in all four tires.
CONTROLS Technology for driving comfort and safety Message for unsuccessful system reset Yellow warning lamp comes on. A message appears on the onboard computer.

DRIVING TIPS Things to remember when driving Things to remember when driving Vehicle equipment In this chapter, all production, country, and optional equipment that is offered in the model range is described. Equipment is also described that is not available because of, for example, selected options or country version. This also applies to safety related functions and systems. Break-in period Moving parts need breaking-in time to adjust to each other.
Things to remember when driving If special circumstances make it absolutely necessary to drive with the tailgate open: 1. Close all windows and the glass sunroof. 2. Switch off recirculated-air mode and switch the airflow control of the air conditioner or automatic climate control to high, refer to page 88 or 90. DRIVING TIPS Parking brake on inclines On inclines, do not hold the vehicle with the clutch; use the parking brake. Otherwise, greater clutch wear will result.
DRIVING TIPS Things to remember when driving Hills To prevent overheating and the resulting reduced efficiency of the brake system, drive long or steep downhill gradients in the gear in which the least braking is required. Even light but consistent brake pressure can lead to high temperatures, brake wear and possibly even brake failure.< You can increase the engine's braking effect by shifting down, all the way to first gear if necessary.
Things to remember when driving DRIVING TIPS MINI Paceman: MINI Countryman: rear seat backrest Before folding down the rear seat backrests, make sure that the range of motion for the backrests is unobstructed. Particularly with a folded down middle section, make sure that there is no one within the range of motion of the backrest and that no one reaches into that region. Otherwise, injury or damage can result.
DRIVING TIPS Things to remember when driving 1. Pull on the loop, refer to arrow. The backrest is unlocked. 3. Release the locking mechanisms on the left and right sides, arrows 2. 2. Fold the backrest forward. 4. Grasp the outer sides of the privacy screen and guide it downward. Folding the backrests back into position Do not exceed the maximum load of 330 lbs/150 kg of the privacy screen when it is in folded down into the loading platform position; otherwise, damage may occur.
Things to remember when driving DRIVING TIPS Before closing the tailgate, put the load floor back on the cargo area floor. Removing If necessary, the load floor can be removed. 1. Fold load floor together. 2. Pull the load floor back slightly out of the take-up. 3. Then take it out toward the top. Flat load floor Do not exceed a maximum load of 330 lbs/150 kg on the load floor; otherwise, damage may result.< Access to the storage space Under the load floor, there is storage space, e.g.
DRIVING TIPS Things to remember when driving Installing behind the front seats MINI Countryman: bag holders 1. If necessary, remove the cargo area cover. Holders on the left and right side of the support for the cargo area cover, arrow, e.g. for hanging shopping bags or storage bags. 2. Fold down the rear seat backrests, refer to Expanding cargo area. 3. Insert each cargo net mounting pin all the way into its respective front mount in the headliner, arrow 1, and push it forward. 4.
Things to remember when driving 4. The resulting figure equals the available amount of cargo and luggage load capacity. For example, if the XXX amount equals 1,400 lbs and there will be four 150 lb- passengers in your vehicle, the amount of available cargo and luggage load capacity is 650 lbs: 1,400 lbs minus 750 lbs = 650 lbs. 5. Determine the combined weight of luggage and cargo being loaded on the vehicle.
DRIVING TIPS Things to remember when driving Securing cargo vehicle's operating safety is no longer assured and the vehicle will not be in compliance with the construction and use regulations. Heavy or hard objects should not be carried loose inside the car, since they could be thrown around, for example as a result of heavy braking, sudden swerves, etc., and endanger the occupants. Do not secure cargo using the fastening points for the tether strap, page 47; they may become damaged.
Things to remember when driving Rear luggage rack A special rear-mounted luggage rack is available as an optional accessory. It does not require a trailer hitch. Please comply with the precautions included with the installation instructions. Mounting points MINI Countryman: DRIVING TIPS Saving fuel General information Your vehicle incorporates numerous technologies for reducing fuel consumption and emissions. Fuel consumption depends on a number of different factors.
DRIVING TIPS Things to remember when driving Avoid high engine speeds Use first gear only for driving off. In second and higher gears, accelerate smoothly to a suitable engine and road speed. In doing so, avoid high engine speeds and shift up early. When you reach your desired traveling speed, shift to the highest suitable gear and drive at constant speed. As a rule: driving at low engine speeds lowers fuel consumption and reduces wear.
Things to remember when driving DRIVING TIPS > Depending on the condition of the surface, it may be practical to briefly activate DTC, refer to DTC Dynamic Traction Control on page 73. > If the drive wheels spin on one side, depress the accelerator pedal sufficiently so that the driving stability control systems can distribute the drive forces to the individual wheels.
