Power convertible top

The fully automatic convertible top provides 
protection from the weather, combined with 
simple and easy operation.
Here are some helpful tips for getting the most 
enjoyment out of your MINI Convertible:

>

It is recommended that you close the con-
vertible top whenever the vehicle is parked. 
The closed convertible top not only protects 
the vehicle interior from damage due to 
unforeseen bad weather, but also provides a 
certain degree of protection against theft. 
Always keep your valuables inside the 
locked luggage compartment, even if the 
convertible top is closed.

>

Do not mount any roof rack systems on the 
convertible top.

>

When opening the wet convertible top, e.g., 
after driving in the rain, water drops may 
enter the luggage compartment. In order to 
avoid water stains or soiling, remove all 
objects from the luggage compartment, if 
necessary.

If the temperature drops below +10

, do not operate the convertible 

top; otherwise, damage may occur.
Do not leave a wet convertible top open for 
more than one day, since the humidity may 
cause damages.
Do not place any objects on the convertible top, 
as they could otherwise fall off while the con-
vertible top is being operated and result in 
property damage or personal injury.
If the rollover protective system is extended, do 
not operate the convertible top.
Always completely finish the operation of the 
convertible top. Driving off before an opening or 
closing procedure is completely finished can 
lead to property damage or personal injury.
During the opening and closing operation, 
ensure that no one is injured by the convertible 
top linkage or other moving parts. Keep children 
away from the pivoting range of the convertible 
top.

For safety reasons, only operate the convertible 
top while the vehicle is standing.

<

While opening and closing, the convertible 
top pivots upward. If operating the con-

vertible top inside a garage or under a bridge, or 
similar low structure, make sure that you have 
the minimum clearance of 6 ft 7 in/2 m; other-
wise, the vehicle may be damaged.

<

Before opening and closing

>

Please observe the previous safety 
instructions.

>

Please ensure the luggage compartment 
roller cover is in its lowest position, refer to 
page

117

; otherwise, the convertible top 

cannot be opened.

>

Ensure the cargo does not push against the 
luggage compartment roller cover from 
below.

>

Make sure that the tailgate is closed.

Opening and closing the convertible top

To open:
Press the switch backward in order to open the 
sliding/tilting sunroof. Pressing the switch again 
opens the convertible top.
To close:
Press the switch forward.
