Driving precautions DRIVING HINTS

103

Drive with foresight

Avoid accelerating and braking unnecessarily.

To do so, maintain an appropriately large gap

between your car and the vehicle in front.

An anticipatory and even driving style can

reduce fuel consumption.

Avoid high engine speeds

Only use 1st gear for driving off. From 2nd gear

onwards, accelerate quickly to the appropriate

engine speed and speed. In doing so, avoid high

engine speeds and upshift at an early stage.

When you have reached the desired final speed,

shift to the highest possible gear and drive at

constant speed.

As a general principle, the following applies:

driving at lower engine speed lowers fuel con-

sumption and reduces wear.

The shift point indicator

* displays the gear with

the most favourable fuel consumption, page 59.

Use the coasting mode

On approaching a red traffic light, take your foot

off the accelerator and allow the car to roll in the

highest possible gear.

On downward stretches, take your foot off the

accelerator and allow the car to roll in the appro-

priate gear.

In the coasting mode, the flow of fuel is cut off

automatically.

Switch off the engine during longer

stops

When you stop the car for longer periods, e.g. at

traffic lights, railway crossings or in traffic jams,

switch off the engine.

The automatic start/stop function

* switches the

engine off automatically during a stop. For more

information on the automatic start/stop func-

tion, refer to page 48.

Have maintenance carried out

Have the vehicle serviced regularly to achieve

optimal economy and service life. The manufac-

turer of your MINI recommends having this

maintenance work carried out by a MINI Service

Centre. See also the MINI Maintenance System,

page 151.

Driving on rough tracks

Your MINI will feel at home on all kinds of roads

and tracks. It combines four-wheel drive* with

the benefits of a conventional passenger vehi-

cle.

Do not drive over rough terrain, otherwise

the vehicle could incur damage.<

For your own safety and that of your passengers,

and to protect your vehicle against damage,

observe the following points carefully when

driving on rough tracks:

> Familiarise yourself with the vehicle before

setting out in it, and never consciously take

risks.

> Drive at a speed that is appropriate for the

prevailing road conditions. The steeper and

more uneven the road, the slower you

should drive.

> Before setting out on very steep uphill or

downhill gradients, check that the engine oil

and coolant levels are near to the maximum

mark, see page 148.

> Watch out for obstructions such as stones

and potholes, and try to drive round them if

possible.

> When driving over crests and on bumpy

roads, avoid causing the vehicle's under-

body to make contact with the surface. The

vehicle's maximum ground clearance is

approx. 15 cm, approx. 6 in. Please note

that the ground clearance may vary accord-

ing to the vehicle's load and operating con-

ditions.
