7. CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Removing the covers
Step 1 – Remove the shoulder straps
[MINI_038] To remove the covers, you must fi rst
unhook the shoulder straps from the belt connection
section of the pull strap, on the bottom of the
TAKATA MINI.
[MINI_039] Then pull the shoulder straps entirely out
of the inner padding and shoulder pads.
NOTE!
You cannot pull the shoulder straps out of the inner
padding by only pulling at the shoulder pads.
Step 2 – Open the belt buckle
[MINI_040] Open the buckle, pull the tongues out,
and lay the shoulder straps out of the way.

Step 3 – Remove the inner padding
[MINI_041] Free the two side hooks from the back
plate, and pull the inner padding loose from the size
indicator. Set the adjustable inner padding to its
highest position, then pull the padding upwards, away
from the back plate.
Step 4 – Remove the side crash pads (AIRPADS)
WARNING!
The AIRPADS in the adjustable inner padding are not
washable and must be removed from the adjustable
inner padding before washing.
[MINI_042] To do this, lie the inner padding down,
with its front side on an even surface. You can then
reach into the back through the opening of the cover.
Remove the AIRPADS in the side wings of the
padding, as shown in the illustration.
