29 EXCEPTIONAL SAFETY. LEVELS OF CONTROL. SAFETY & EQUIPMENT. Run-flat Tires. Run-flat Tires are designed to keep their shape in the event of a puncture. Made with heat-resistant rubber and reinforced sidewalls, they let you drive up to 80 km at 80 km/h* even with zero tire pressure, so you can get to a safe location. Adaptive LED Headlights. Optional Adaptive LED Headlights give you crisp visibility in the dark or during poor weather. They can also swivel in the direction of the road to illuminate what's around the corner and adjust their angle to the road based on your MINI's speed and weight-load. Rigid Chassis. The body structure of a MINI is rigid, yet collapsible – essential for absorbing and shielding you in case of impact. Using high- tension steel, optimized for weight and rigidity, your MINI retains its sporty feel while reducing body torque, and enhancing its agile handling. Flexible Rear Axle. The Multilink Rear Axle allows each wheel to react independently. This means that an uneven road surface won't affect the entire chassis - and your drive stays smooth. Dynamic Stability Control (DSC). Intelligent sensors detect if you're veering even slightly off course. DSC then activates to adjust the engine torque, and applies brake force to individual wheels where needed. Dynamic Traction Control (DTC). DTC provides the best possible driving force on every surface, even slick or sandy ones. It also restores power to the engine sooner than DSC, and lets the car slide a bit before correcting its course. Automatic Stability Control + Traction (ASC+T). ASC+T prevents the front wheels from spinning, which provides ideal starting conditions and plenty of traction. 1 3 5 6 7 4 2 1 3 4 5 8 9 10 *Tire pressure loss will affect handling characteristics. Consult your Vehicle Owner's Manual for limitations and restrictions.
