This symbol alerts you to Vehicle

Memory functions in the Owner's

Manual.<

After memory functions have been

reconfigured, your vehicle may oper-

ate slightly differently from the descrip-

tions used in this Owner's Manual. If you

decide to sell your vehicle one day, please

remember to have the memory functions

reset to their default configuration.<

The proper place for children

Children should always sit in the rear:

Accident research shows that the safest

place for children in a vehicle is in the rear

seat.

Older children should be tightly secured

with a safety belt, after they have out-

grown a booster seat that is appropriate for

their age, height and weight.

A child sitting in the rear seat and not

properly restrained may place his or

her head on or near the airbag, if so

equipped. For example, a child – even

though belted in – may fall asleep with his

or her head against the side airbag. It may

be difficult for a driver to ensure that chil

-

dren in the rear seat will remain properly

positioned at all times and do not place

their heads on or near the side airbag.

Therefore, we recommend that the rear

side airbags, if provided, be deactivated if

you plan to transport children in the rear

seat.<

Child-restraint system in the rear

Children under 13 years of age and

children less than 5 ft / 150 cm tall

should always ride in the rear and the

restraint systems should be secured with

the vehicle's safety belts.<

Younger children should be secured in an

appropriate forward-facing child-restraint

system that has first been properly

restrained. We strongly urge you to care

-

fully read and comply with the instructions

for installation and use provided by the

child-restraint's manufacturer whenever

you use such a device.

All rear seating positions in your vehicle

meet the recommendations of SAE

J1819,

an industry-recommended practice for

securing child-restraint systems in motor

vehicles.

Exception for the front passenger seat

Should it one day be necessary to use

a child-restraint system on the front

passenger seat, the airbags on the front

passenger side must be deactivated. Other

-

wise, there is a significant risk of injury to

children if the airbags deploy, even if they

are seated in a child-restraint system. Have

the front passenger airbags permanently

deactivated only by your MINI Dealer or a

workshop that has specially trained per

-

sonnel working in accordance with the

specifications of the MINI manufacturer.<
