TAILGATE
To open from the outside
Push the button in the strip handle and
open the tailgate.
For information on unlocking via the cen-
tral locking system, refer to page 26.
To close
To avoid injuries, as with all closing
procedures be sure that the travel
path of the tailgate is clear when it is
closed.
Drive the vehicle only when the tailgate is
completely closed. Otherwise, exhaust
fumes could penetrate the interior of the
vehicle.<
Should it be absolutely necessary to drive
the vehicle with the tailgate open:
1. Close all windows, the glass sunroof as
well as the folding roof on the MINI Con-
vertible
2. Sharply increase the air supply for the
heater, the air conditioning or the auto-
matic climate control, refer to page 75
or 78.
Handle recesses on the MINI
The handle recesses in the interior trim
panel of the tailgate make it easier to pull it
down.
