The tow fittings used should be on the same side
on both vehicles. Should it prove impossible to
avoid mounting the tow bar at an angle, please
observe the following:
> Clearance and maneuvering capability will
be sharply limited during cornering.
> The tow bar will generate lateral forces if it is
attached offset.
Attach the tow bar to the tow fittings only,
as attaching it to other parts of the vehicle
could result in damage. <
Towing with a tow rope
When starting off in the towing vehicle, make
sure that the tow rope is taut.
To avoid jerking and the associated
stresses on vehicle components when
towing, always use nylon ropes or nylon straps.
Attach the tow rope to the tow fittings only, as
attaching it to other parts of the vehicle could
result in damage.
<
Towing with a tow truck
Have the MINI transported with a tow truck with
a so-called lift bar or on a flat bed.
Do not lift the vehicle by a tow fitting or
body and chassis parts, otherwise damage
may result.
Steps after an accident
If you should be involved in an accident with
your MINI, carry out the following safety mea-
sures:
> Immediately inform the police or fire
department that the vehicle is an electric
vehicle.
> Move the selector lever to position P and
switch off run position.
>
Do not touch any orange high voltage cables
or connectors. Otherwise there is the risk of
sustaining a life-threatening electric shock.
>
Lock the vehicle after leaving it.
>
Do not inhale gases emerging from the high
voltage battery. Stay away from the vehicle
if necessary.
>
Contact your MINI Dealer to assess the
degree of damage.
