Securing cargo
▷Secure smaller and lighter pieces with tight‐
ening belts or straps.▷Secure larger and heavier pieces with cargo
straps.
Adhere to the information included with
the cargo straps.▷Eight mounting eyes are available for fas‐
tening the cargo straps.
Two of them are located on the side wall of
the cargo area, arrows 1, and two are lo‐
cated on the rear wall of the cargo area, ar‐
rows 2.Securing cargo
Stow and secure the cargo as described
above; otherwise it may present a danger to
the occupants, for instance during braking and
avoidance maneuvers.
Do not stow any heavy and hard objects in the
passenger compartment without securing
them; otherwise, they may present a danger to
occupants, for instance during braking and
avoidance maneuvers.
Never exceed either the approved gross vehicle
weight or either of the approved axle loads, as
excessive loads can pose a safety hazard, and
may also place you in violation of traffic safety
laws.
Do not secure cargo using the upper LATCH
mounting points, refer to page 45; otherwise,
these may become damaged. ◀
Roof-mounted luggage
rack
NotesA special rack system is available as an optionalaccessory.
Attachment Follow the installation instructions for the roof-
mounted luggage rack.
Ensure that adequate clearance is available for
the movement of the glass sunroof.
Loading Because roof racks raise the vehicle's center of
gravity when loaded, they have a major effect
on vehicle handling and steering response.
Therefore, note the following when loading and
driving:▷Do not exceed the approved roof/axle
loads and the approved gross vehicle
weight.Seite 116DRIVING TIPSLoading116

Saving fuelVehicle equipment
This chapter describes all series equipment as
well as country-specific and special equipment
offered for this model series. Therefore, it also
describes equipment that may not be found in
your vehicle, for instance due to the selected
special equipment or the country version. This
also applies to safety-related functions and sys‐
tems.
When using the features and systems described
here, adhere to local regulations.
General information
Your vehicle contains advanced technology for
the reduction of fuel consumption and emis‐
sions.
Fuel consumption depends on a number of dif‐
ferent factors. The implementation of certain measures, driving style and regular mainte‐nance can have an influence on fuel consump‐
tion and on the environmental impact.
Remove unnecessary cargo Additional weight increases fuel consumption.
Remove attached parts following use Remove unneeded auxiliary mirrors, roof or
rear luggage racks after use.
Attached parts on the vehicle impair the aero‐
dynamics and increase the fuel consumption.
Close both windows Open windows causes higher air resistance and
thus increases fuel consumption.Check the tire inflation pressure
regularly
Check and, if necessary, correct the tire infla‐
tion pressure, refer to page 152, at least twice
a month and before starting on a long trip.
Low tire inflation pressure increases rolling re‐
sistance and thus raises fuel consumption and
tire wear.
Drive away without delay
Do not wait for the engine to warm-up while
the vehicle remains stationary. Start driving
right away, but at moderate engine speeds.
This is the fastest way for the cold engine to
reach its operating temperature.
Look well ahead when drivingAvoid unnecessary acceleration and braking. To
achieve this, maintain a suitable distance to the
vehicle driving ahead of you.
Driving smoothly and looking ahead reduces
fuel consumption.
Avoid high engine speeds Use 1st gear to get the vehicle in motion. Be‐
ginning with 2nd gear, accelerate rapidly. When
accelerating, shift up before reaching high en‐
gine speeds.
When you reach the desired speed, shift into
the highest applicable gear and drive with the
engine speed as low as possible and at a con‐
stant speed.
As a rule: driving at low engine speeds lowers
fuel consumption and reduces wear.
Use coasting conditions
When approaching a red light, take your foot
off the accelerator and coast to a halt in the
highest applicable gear.Seite 118DRIVING TIPSSaving fuel118
Online Edition for Part no. 01 40 2 961 084 - II/15

On a downhill slope, take your foot off the ac‐
celerator and coast in a suitable gear.
The flow of fuel is interrupted while coasting.
Switch off the engine during longer
stops
Switch off the engine during longer stops, e.g.,
at traffic lights, railroad crossings or in traffic
congestion.
Fuel savings are already achieved after the en‐
gine is turned off for as little as 4 seconds.
Switch off any functions that are not
currently needed
Functions such as seat heating and the rear
window defroster require a lot of energy and
consume additional fuel, especially in city and
stop-and-go traffic.
Therefore, switch off these functions if they are
not actually needed.
Have maintenance carried out
Have vehicles maintained regularly to achieve
optimal vehicle economy and operating life.
Have the maintenance carried out by the serv‐
ice center.
Please also note the MINI maintenance system,
refer to page 169.Seite 119Saving fuelDRIVING TIPS119

Notes
CD player Do not remove the cover
The CD players are officially designated
Class 1 laser products. Do not operate if the
cover is damaged; otherwise, severe eye dam‐
age can result. ◀
CDs Using CDs▷Do not use self-recorded CDs with la‐
bels applied, as these can become
detached during playback due to
heat buildup and can cause irrepara‐
ble damage to the device.▷Only use round CDs with a standard diame‐
ter of 4.7 in/12 cm and do not play CDs
with an adapter, e.g., single CDs; otherwise,
the CDs or the adapter may jam and no lon‐
ger eject. ◀
General malfunctions
▷The CD players have been optimized for
performance in vehicles. In some instances
they may be more sensitive to faulty CDs
than stationary devices would be.▷If a CD cannot be played, first check if it has
been inserted correctly.
Humidity
High levels of humidity can lead to condensa‐
tion on the CD or the laser's scan lens, and tem‐
porarily prevent playback.
Malfunctions with particular CDs If malfunctions occur only with particular CDs,
this can be due to one of the following causes:
Self-recorded CDs
▷Possible reasons for malfunctions with self-
recorded CDs are inconsistent data creationor recording processes, or poor quality or
old age of the blank CD.▷Only label CDs on the upper side with a pen
intended for this purpose.
Damage
▷Avoid fingerprints, dust, scratches and
moisture.▷Store CDs in a sleeve.▷Do not subject CDs to temperatures over
50 ℃/122 ℉, high humidity, or direct sun‐
light.
CDs with copy protection
CDs are often provided with a copy protection
feature by the manufacturer. This can mean
that some CDs cannot be played or can only be
played to a limited extent.

The concept
Mobile phones can be connected with the vehi‐
cle via Bluetooth.
After a suitable mobile phone is paired with the
vehicle once, you can operate the mobile
phone via the radio, the buttons on the steer‐
ing wheel, and via voice activation.
Bluetooth® is a registered trademark of Blue‐
tooth® SIG, Inc.
Certain functions may need to be enabled by
the mobile phone provider or service provider.
Using the mobile phone while driving
Make entries only when traffic and road
conditions allow. Do not hold the mobile phone
in your hand while you are driving; use the
hands-free system instead. If you do not ob‐
serve this precaution, you can endanger the ve‐
hicle occupants and other road users. ◀
Snap-in adapter
The snap-in adapter is used to:▷Hold the mobile phone.▷Recharge the battery.▷Connect the mobile phone to an outside
antenna of the vehicle.
This provides for better network reception
and consistent sound quality.
Do not operate a mobile phone that is con‐
nected to the vehicle on the mobile phone key‐
pad, as this may lead to a malfunction.
Approved mobile phones
Details on which mobile phones with a Blue‐
tooth interface are supported by the mobile
phone preparation package can be obtained at

Notes At high temperatures, the charging function of
the mobile phone may be limited and functions
may not be executed.
