LOADING CARGO
Stowing cargo
> Load heavy cargo as far forward as
possible – directly behind the backrests –
and as low as possible
> Cover sharp edges and corners
> Do not pile objects higher than the top
edge of the backrest
> For very heavy loads when the rear seat
is not occupied, secure each safety belt in
the opposite buckle. This provides addi-
tional stabilization for the rear backrests.
Securing the load
> For small, light items, secure using the
luggage compartment net
* or elastic
straps
> For large, heavy items, see your MINI
center for load-securing devices
*.
Lashing eyes are provided at the inner
corners of the luggage compartment for
attaching these load-securing devices
> Comply with the information enclosed
with the load-securing devices.
