How to Open the Bonnet and Boot of the Mini One

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

To open the bonnet of the Mini Cooper, go inside the car to the driver's seat, check the area of the mats, and pull the lever located on the left plastic panel. Once released, the bonnet release mechanism will activate. Go to the front of the car, lift the bonnet slightly to create enough space to insert your hand, and on your right (about a hand's distance from the badge), reach further in than in other cars, unlock the bonnet, and lift it. To open the boot of the same Mini, you can open it from the handle above the rear number plate with the car unlocked, or if the car is locked, you can open it using the remote button, as there is no button inside the car to unlock the boot.
