Do not obstruct the area of movement
Always keep the area of movement of the
rollover protection system clear. In light acci‐
dents, you are protected by the fastened safety
belt and, depending on the severity of the acci‐
dent, the belt tightener and the multi-level air
bag restraint system. ◀
Lowering
Have the service center check the rollover pro‐
tection system after it is deployed unexpect‐
edly.
General instructions on the rollover pro‐
tection system
When the rollover protection system is ex‐
tended, do not move the convertible top under
any circumstances.
Do not modify the individual components of
the rollover protection system or the wiring in
any way.
Work on the rollover protection system should only be performed by a MINI service center.
Non-professional work on the system could
lead to failure or a malfunction.
To check the system and to ensure that the sys‐
tem will operate properly over the long-term, it
is imperative that you adhere to the specified
service intervals. ◀
FTM Flat Tire Monitor
The concept
The system does not measure the actual infla‐
tion pressure in the tires.
The system detects a pressure loss in a tire by
comparing the rotational speeds of the individ‐
ual wheels while moving.
In the event of a pressure loss, the diameter
and therefore the rotational speed of the corre‐
sponding wheel change. This is detected and
reported as a flat tire.Functional requirements
The system must have been initialized when
the tire inflation pressure was correct; other‐
wise, reliable signaling of a flat tire is not en‐
sured.
Initialize the system after each correction of the
tire inflation pressure and after every tire or
wheel change.
System limits Sudden tire damage
Sudden serious tire damage caused by
external influences cannot be indicated in ad‐
vance. ◀
A natural, even pressure loss in all four tires
cannot be detected. Therefore, check the tire
inflation pressure regularly.
The system could be delayed or malfunction in
the following situations:▷When the system has not been initialized.▷When driving on a snowy or slippery road
surface.▷Sporty driving style: slip in the drive wheels,
high lateral acceleration.▷When driving with snow chains.
When the vehicle is driven with a compact
wheel, refer to page 182, the Flat Tire Monitor
is not functional.
InitializationThe initialization process adopts the set infla‐
tion tire pressures as reference values for the
detection of a flat tire. Initialization is started by
confirming the inflation pressures.
