That’s easy enough. Just ind the convertible top toggle switch located in the overhead console. Pull it back for three seconds and the sunroof slides open. Pull it back for another 12 seconds and the whole top comes down. If your top doesn’t come down, three things probably need to happen. First, the rear parcel shelf must be in the lower position. Second, the Easy-Load feature latches must be locked. And third, the boot must be closed. Of course, the easiest and most fun way to combat this problem is to be Always Open. For more information regarding the rear parcel shelf and Easy-Load feature, see the next two items.YoUr Seat HaS a MeMorY.Pull the release lever found on the upper-rear back rest, and the entire front seat moves forward. To return the front seatback to its original position, simply slide it back on its track first, and then push the top of the seatback until it locks in place. Once you master the technique, it will work wonders to keep your seat just the way you want it.Get reaDY to Start YoUr enGine.To start your car, insert the key fob in the slot and put your foot on the clutch (if you have a manual transmission) or the brake (if you have an automatic). Just like you would turn the key in other cars, give the start/stop button a single push and the engine will turn over. You’re now ready and set to motor. Seat HeiGHt aDjUStMent.Adjust the seat height by pumping the lever up or down like a ratchet. Be sure not to use this lever when trying to slide the seat forward. There’s a separate bar for that, located under the front of the seat. SeatbaCK aDjUStMent.Adjusting your seatback is easy. You just need to know where to look. Simply lift up the center arm rest, if your car is so equipped, and then lift the lever on the inboard side. This lever will unlock your seatback, allowing you to recline or sit up as you wish. Releasing the lever will lock it back into place.tHere’S no SUCH tHinG aS “too YoU.”With over 150 trillion possible MINI conigurations, it’s unlikely you’ll meet your clone. Set your personal proile and increase the odds. Begin setting any preference by putting the key fob in the dash and hitting the start/stop button once without your foot on the clutch or brake (so the car won’t start). This activates radio readiness. You can now customize features such as how many times the turn-signal indicator flashes in lane-changing maneuvers, daytime-running lights, pathway lighting and the way your car locks. Consult your Owner’s Manual for more details.taCHoMeter Control.You’ll notice two adjustment buttons on your tachometer: one that controls the dashboard lights and another that resets the trip odometer. Press and hold the luminosity knob to brighten the dashboard lights. Press and release repeatedly to dim the dash lights to suit your mood. Tap the other knob and the trip odometer resets.taKinG YoUr tUrn.You’ll want to take turns often in a MINI, so getting acquainted with your signaling equipment is a must. For lane-changing maneuvers, push down or lift up the turn-signal stalk to the point of resistance and the signal will blink briely. Flip the turn-signal stalk past the point of resistance to indicate a left or right turn. The signal stalk immediately goes back to its starting position; however, the signal light continues to blink through the entire turn. To interrupt the continued blinking, just push the turn-signal stalk in the same direction until the point of resistance. Your windshield wipers work in a similar way. See the Owner’s Manual for details.S:4” T:4.5” B:4.75”
