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 
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

Handle recesses on the MINI
The handle recesses in the interior trim 
panel of the tailgate make it easier to pull it 
down.
