If you have a mini convertible, remember that it is possible to safely close the glove compartment and block the folding of the rear seats, protecting access to the rear luggage compartment. In fact, the electronic ignition key contains a mechanical key which activates the locks of the glove compartment and of the rear seats. In the rear part of the key \ remote control there is a small button: by pressing it it is possible to remove the mechanical key that activates the lock for the glove compartment and the one on the rear seat backrest which allows you to block the tilting.
