Safety belts
Observe the instructions on page37 to
ensure the best possible personal pro-

wear their safety belts. Airbags complement the
safety belt as an additional safety device, but
they do not represent a substitute.

Seat belt reminder
Front seats
The indicator lamps come on and an
acoustic signal sounds. In addition, a
message appears on the Control Dis-
play. Check whether the safety belt has
been fastened correctly. The 'Fasten safety
belts' reminder is issued when the driver's safety
belt has not been fastened. The 'Fasten safety
belts' reminder is also activated at road speeds
above approx. 5 mph or 8 km/h if the front pas-
senger's safety belt has not been fastened, if
objects are placed on the front passenger seat,
or if driver or front passenger unfasten their
safety belts.
Damage to safety belts
If the safety belts are damaged or stressed
in an accident: have the safety belt system
and its seat-belt tensioners replaced and the
belt anchors checked. Have this work carried out
only by a MINI Dealer or by a workshop that has
specially trained personnel working in accor-
dance with the specifications of the MINI manu-
facturer, otherwise correct operation of these
safety systems is not ensured.<
Mirrors
Exterior mirrors
The front passenger's mirror is more con-
vex than the driver's mirror. The objects
seen in the mirror are closer than they appear.
Do not gauge your distance from traffic behind
you on the basis of what you see in the mirror;
otherwise there is an increased risk of an
accident.<
