Stowing Cargo; Securing Cargo - Mini Owner's Manual

Load
The maximum load is the sum of the weight of
the occupants and the cargo.
The greater the weight of the occupants, the
less cargo that can be transported.

Stowing cargo

▷ Very heavy cargo: when the rear seat is not
occupied, secure each of the outer safety
belts in the opposite buckle.
▷ Heavy cargo: stow as far forward and as
low as possible, ideally directly behind the
backrests.
▷ Cover sharp edges and corners.
▷ Do not pile cargo higher than the top edge
of the backrests.
▷ If necessary, fold down the rear backrests
to stow cargo.
▷ Use the partition net, refer to page 105, to
protect passengers. Make sure that objects
cannot penetrate the partition net.
▷ Place protective material around any sharp-
edged or pointed objects that could bump
against the rear window while the vehicle is
in motion.
