R50, R52, R53: Introduction

The multiple restraint system 5 (MRS) is a direct development of the multiple restraint system fitted to MINI vehicles.

The multiple restraint system 5 is only fitted to US-version MINI vehicles.

The MRS performs the following functions:

• Recognizes accident situations that are critical for vehicle occupants
• Activates the necessary restraint systems in the event of an accident (selectively, depending on the severity and type of accident)
