Child safety
Important
considerations
Do not leave children unattended in the
vehicle, as they could otherwise endanger
themselves and/or other persons by opening the
doors, for example.
<
Not for Australia/New Zealand:
The front passenger seat and the outer rear
seats of your MINI are suitable for the installa-
tion of universal child restraint systems for all
age groups, providing these have been
approved for the age group in question.
Always carry children at the rear
Accident research has shown that the safest
place for children is on the rear seat.
Children under 12 years of age or smaller
than 150 cm, approx. 5 feet, should
always travel on the rear seats and in suitable
child restraint systems, otherwise there is a
greater risk of injury in the event of an acci-
dent.
<
Your MINI Service Centre will be glad to provide
advice on the selection of suitable child restraint
systems.
Not for Australia/New Zealand:
Exception for the front passenger seat
Seat height
Only fit universal child restraint systems if
the seat height can be adjusted. Other-
wise it will be impossible to optimise the position
of the seat belt and to secure the child restraint
system adequately.
<
Front passenger airbags
If you nevertheless need to fit a child
restraint system on the front passenger's
seat, the front and side airbags must be deacti-
vated, otherwise a child travelling on that seat
will face an increased risk of injury if the airbags
are triggered off, even if a child restraint system
is used.
<
Front passenger airbags can only be deac-
tivated with the key switch for front pas-
senger airbags.
<
Keyswitch* for front
passenger airbags
You can deactivate and subsequently reactivate
the front and side airbags for the front passen-
ger by means of a keyswitch. This is located on
the front passenger side of the instrument
panel.
The front passenger airbags can only be deacti-
vated and reactivated when the vehicle is sta-
tionary and with the front passenger's door
open.
Deactivating
Use the integrated key to turn the key switch to
the OFF position.
The airbags for the front passenger are deacti-
vated when the switch is in this position. The air-
bags for the driver remain fully active.
Once the child restraint system has been
removed, immediately reactivate the air-
