Technology for driving comfort and safety Indication of a flat tire The warning lamps come on in yellow and red. 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. Run-flat tires, refer to page 152, are identified by a circular symbol containing the letters RSC on the tire sidewall.

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. contact and wear patterns between brake pads and rotors. Drive cautiously during this break-in period.
Things to remember when driving Hot exhaust system As in all vehicles, extremely high temperatures are generated on the exhaust system. Do not remove the heat shields installed adjacent to various sections of the exhaust system, and never apply undercoating to them. Make sure that when driving, idling or when parking, no easily flammable materials, such as hay, leaves, grass, etc. come into contact with the hot exhaust system.
DRIVING TIPS Things to remember when driving Never drive with the clutch held down, with the transmission in neutral or with the engine switched off; otherwise, engine braking action will not be present or there will be no power assistance to the brakes or steering. Never allow floor mats, carpets or any other objects to protrude into the area around the pedals; otherwise, pedal function could be impaired.
Things to remember when driving MINI Coupe, MINI Roadster: opening for loading Always secure snowboards and similar items; otherwise, these may pose a hazard to occupants during braking or evasive maneuvers.< DRIVING TIPS Loading aid When the convertible top is closed, you can load the vehicle more easily by releasing the convertible top and folding it up. 1. Release the convertible top using the handles, refer to arrows 1. 1. If necessary, fold seat forward, see page 47. 2.
DRIVING TIPS Things to remember when driving Split-folding rear seats To be able to transport larger objects, the rear backrest can be folded down. 1. If necessary, use the integrated key to open the backrest lock 1. 2. Press button 2 and fold down backrest together with the belt strap. 3. Fold the backrest forward. When folding the backrest back into its original position, always ensure that the catch engages securely.
Things to remember when driving MINI Convertible: MINI Convertible The permissible load is the sum of the occupants' weights and the weight of the cargo. The greater the weight of the occupants, the less cargo/luggage can be transported. Securing cargo DRIVING TIPS MINI Coupe, MINI Roadster: Stowing cargo > Position heavy objects as low and as far forward as possible, ideally directly behind the rear seat backrests. > Cover sharp edges and corners.
DRIVING TIPS Things to remember when driving ger the car's occupants, for example if sudden braking or swerves are necessary. Do not exceed the approved gross vehicle weight and axle loads, page 203; otherwise, the operating safety of the vehicle is no longer assured and the vehicle will not be in compliance with the construction and use regulations.
Things to remember when driving DRIVING TIPS 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.
