Using this Owner's
Manual

This Supplementary Owner's Manual contains all
important equipment information, operating
instructions and technical data of the MINI Club­van that differ from the MINI Clubman. Descrip­tions that are not contained in this Supplemen­tary Owner's Manual can be found in the
Owner's Manual of the vehicle or in the addi­tional brochures that may be included in the
onboard literature.

Should you wish to sell your MINI at some time in
the future, remember to hand over this Supple­mentary Owner's Manual to the new owner; it is
an important part of the vehicle.

Additional sources of information

Should you have any other questions, your MINI
dealer will be glad to advise you at any time.

You can find more information about the MINI,
for example about the technology it features, on
the Internet at www.MINI.com.

For this reason, this Supplementary Owner's
Handbook also describes and illustrates some
equipment that may not be available in your
vehicle, for example due to the special options
or national-market version selected.

This also applies to safety related functions and
systems.

If equipment and models are not described in
this Supplementary Owner's Handbook, please
consult the accompanying Owner's Manual.

Status of this Owner's
Manual at time of
printing

The high level of safety and quality of the MINI
vehicles is ensured through continuous develop­ment. In rare cases, therefore, the features
described in this Supplementary Owner's Man­ual may differ from those in your vehicle.

Safety belts

Your MINI Clubvan is equipped with safety belts
for the driver and passenger.

Also follow the instructions for using safety belts
in the Owner's Manual for the MINI/
MINI Clubman.

Transporting children
safely

Since there is no rear seat, please note the fol­lowing specifics about transporting children
safely.

Also follow the general instructions for
"Transporting children safely" in the

Owner's Manual for the MINI/MINI Clubman.<

The right place for children

Note

Do not leave children unattended in the

vehicle; otherwise, they could endanger
themselves and/or other persons by opening the
doors, for example.<

Child seat security

The safety belt for the passenger can be pre­vented from being pulled out in order to secure
child restraint systems.

Child restraint system with tether strap

Use the tether strap securing eye to secure
child restraint systems only; otherwise, the

securing eye could be damaged.<

Children in the front passenger seat

Should it be necessary to use a child restraint
system on the front passenger seat, make sure
that the front and side airbags for the front pas­senger side are deactivated.

For more information on automatic deactivation
of the front passenger airbags, refer to the
Owner's Manual for the MINI/MINI Clubman.

If a child restraint system is used on the

front passenger seat, the front passenger
airbags must be deactivated; otherwise, a child
traveling in that seat faces an increased risk of
injury if the airbags are triggered, even with a
child restraint system.<

Children 13 years of age or older must be

buckled in with a safety belt as soon as
there no longer is any child restraint system that
is appropriate for their age, size and weight.<

6

There is one additional securing eye for child
restraint systems with tether straps, arrow. The
position is indicated.

Placement of the tether strap

Make sure the upper retaining strap does

not run over sharp edges and is not
twisted as it passes to the top securing eye. Oth­erwise, the strap will not properly secure the
child restraint system in the event of an acci­dent.<
