matic convertible top
General information
The fabric convertible top combines reliable
weather protection with simple and convenient
operation.
To ensure that you will continue to enjoy your
MINI Convertible, here are a few tips:
▷It is advisable that you close the convertible
top when you park the vehicle. Not only
does the closed convertible top protect thevehicle interior against unanticipated
weather damage, it also offers a certain
amount of theft protection. However, even
when the convertible top is closed, valua‐
bles should only be stored in the locked
cargo area.▷Do not attach roof rack systems to the
convertible top.
Safety notes on the convertible top
▷At temperatures below +14 ℉/-10 ℃,
do not move the convertible top or
else damage could result.▷Do not leave the convertible top open for
longer than one day while it is wet; other‐
wise, damage could be caused by the mois‐
ture.▷Do not place any objects on the convertible
top; otherwise, they could fall during oper‐
ation of the convertible top and cause
damage or injury.▷The convertible top pivots up when it is
opened and closed. When moving the
convertible top in places like garages, en‐
sure that there is a minimum height of
79 inches/2 meters; otherwise, damage
could result.▷When the rollover protection system is ex‐
tended, do not move the convertible top
under any circumstances.▷Always carry out the convertible top move‐
ment to the end. Driving when the
convertible top is not fully opened or closed
may result in damage or injury.▷During opening and closing, ensure that
people cannot be injured by the convertible
top frame or other moving parts. Keep chil‐
dren away from the opening path of the
convertible top.▷For safety reasons, only move the
convertible top while the vehicle is station‐
ary, if possible. ◀Seite 50ControlsOpening and closing50

▷Never modify either the individual compo‐
nents or the wiring in the airbag system.
This also applies to steering wheel covers,
the dashboard, the seats, the roof pillars
and the sides of the headliner. ◀
Even when all instructions are followed closely,
injury from contact with the airbags cannot be
ruled out in certain situations.
The ignition and inflation noise may lead to
short-term and, in most cases, temporary hear‐
ing impairment in sensitive individuals.
In the case of a malfunction, deactivation
and after triggering of the airbags
Do not touch the individual components imme‐
diately after the system has been triggered;
otherwise, there is the danger of burns.
Only have the airbags checked, repaired or dis‐
mantled and the airbag generator scrapped by
your service center or a workshop that has the
necessary authorization for handling explo‐
sives.
Non-professional attempts to service the sys‐
tem could lead to failure in an emergency or
undesired triggering of the airbag, either of
which could result in injury. ◀
Warning notices and information about the air‐
bags can also be found on the sun visors.
Automatic deactivation of the front
passenger airbags
The occupation of the seat is detected by eval‐
uating the impression on the occupied seat sur‐
face of the front passenger seat.
The front and side airbags on the front passen‐
ger side are activated or deactivated accord‐
ingly by the system.
The indicator lamp above the interior rearview
mirror, refer to page 92, shows the current
status of the front passenger airbags, deacti‐
vated or activated.
Leave feet in the footwell
Make sure that the front passenger keeps
his or her feet in the footwell; otherwise, the
front passenger airbags may not function prop‐
erly. ◀
Child restraint fixing system in the front
passenger seat
Before transporting a child on the front passen‐
ger seat, read the safety and operating instruc‐
tions under Transporting children safely, refer
to page 60.◀
Malfunction of the automatic deactivation system
When transporting older children and adults,
the front passenger airbags may be deactivated
in certain sitting positions. In this case, the indi‐
cator lamp for the front passenger airbags
lights up.
In this case, change the sitting position so that
the front passenger airbags are activated and
the indicator lamp goes out.
If it is not possible to activate the airbags, have
the person sit in the rear.
To make sure that occupation of the seat cush‐
ion can be detected correctly:▷Do not attach seat covers, seat cushion
padding, ball mats, or other items to the
front passenger seat unless they are specifi‐
cally recommended by the manufacturer of
your MINI.▷Do not place electronic devices on the pas‐
senger seat if a child restraint fixing system
is mounted on the seat.▷Do not place objects under the seat that
could press against the seat from below.Seite 91SafetyControls91
