Kaluza-Klein cosmological models are investigated in the vicinity of a spacelike singularity. A new parameterization of the Kasner exponents is given for any spacetime dimension, which reduces the mixmaster dynamics to a combination of a translation and an isometry or a dilating inversion. Using this parameterization, chaos is proven to hold for spacetime dimension n of not greater than 10. For n of not less than 11, the chaotic behavior is shown to become unstable and to be replaced by monotonic Kasner asymptotics.
