How to open the convertible top of the Mini Cabrio

Model: Mini Mini R56, R55, R57 - Years 2007-2014
Part: Convertible top

The opening of the hood of the Mini Cabrio model r57 is a simple and quick operation to perform when needed. The steps to open the hood of the vehicle from the outside are: - press the vehicle's opening button on the remote control until the hood is completely open; - release the button when the hood is fully open; - open the windows once inside the vehicle. If you encounter any problems during the opening, the cause may be an object stuck inside the hood's opening and closing rollers. Once the object is removed, you can open the hood. If you do not find any object stuck, the cause may be a damaged fuse that needs to be replaced.

If the central locking system of the Volkswagen Golf 4 is not working, it is likely necessary to reset the system: to do this, open the driver's door and detach the side panel of the dashboard next to the steering wheel. Under this panel, you will find the fuses, including the one for the central locking, which is indicated in the manual as number 14. To reset the system, remove this fuse from its housing, then reinsert it or replace it with a new one of the same amperage: this will reset the central locking system.
