Variant 1Variant 2Interpretation of messages
25302Message 1“Oil level OK”
The message “oil” is
displayed, alternating
with dashes
No displayMessage 2“Adjust oil level”
If the level is at minimum: depending on the vehicle, the message “top up oil level” or “oil” appears on the display, al-
ternating with dashes and the © warning light on the instrument panel comes on: message 2.
It is vital to top up the oil as soon as possible.
Engine oil level: general information
The display only warns the driver if the oil level is at the minimum level. It does not inform the driver that the oil level has exceeded the maximum level as this can only be measured
using a dipstick.
Minimum oil level warning on instru- ment panel
When the ignition is switched on, if the level is above the minimum level, the message “oil ok” or “oil level correct” is shown on the display for approximately 15 seconds.For more information, press the trip computer readout button: the message
“oil level” will be shown on the display with squares which are replaced by dashes when the level drops.
To advance to trip computer reading, press the button again.
It is normal for an engine to use oil for lubrication and cooling of moving parts and it is normal to top up the level be- tween oil changes.
However, contact your approved Dealer if more than 0.5 litres is being consumed every 600 miles (1,000 km) after the running in period.
Check the oil level at regular inter- vals and before any long journey to avoid the risk of damaging your engine.
Reading the oil level
The oil level should be read with the ve- hicle on level ground, after the engine has been switched off for some time.
The dipstick must be used to read the exact oil level and make sure that the maximum level has not been exceeded (risk of engine damage). Refer to the following pages.
The instrument panel display only alerts the driver when the oil level is at its min- imum.

Engine oil level: topping up/filling
Topping up/filling
The vehicle must be parked on level ground and the engine should be cold (for instance, before the engine is started up for the first time in the day).
Engine oil grade
Refer to the Maintenance Service Booklet for your vehicle.–
Unscrew cap
1;
– top up the level (as a guide, the ca
- pacity between the minimum and
maximum reading on the dipstick 2 is between 1.5 and 2 litres, depend- ing on the engine);
– wait for approximately 10 minutes to
allow the oil to flow into the engine;
– check the level using the dipstick
2 (as described above).
Once the operation has been com- pleted, ensure that the dipstick is pushed in as far as it will go and that the cap is completely screwed in.

ENGINE OIL LEVEL: topping up/filling (2/2)
Never run the engine in an enclosed space as exhaust gases are poisonous.
Engine oil change: if you are changing the oil when the engine is hot, be careful not to scald yourself if the oil overflows.
Filling: take care when topping up the oil that no oil drips onto engine components - risk of fire. Remember to refit the cap securely as there is a risk of fire if oil splashes onto hot engine components.
When working in the engine compartment, ensure that the windscreen wiper stalk is in the park position.
Risk of injury.
The engine may be hot when carrying out opera- tions in close proximity. In addition, the engine cooling fan can come on at any moment.
Risk of injury.

Frequency of checking coolant level
Check the coolant level regularly (very severe damage is likely to be caused to the engine if it runs out of coolant).
If the level needs to be topped up, only use products approved by our Technical Department which ensure:
– protection against freezing;
– an anti-corrosion protection for the
cooling system.
Levelsengine coolant
Consult your approved dealer at
once if you notice an abnormal or repeated drop in any of the fluid levels.
No operations should be carried out on the cooling circuit when the engine is hot.
Risk of burns.
Replacement interval
Refer to the Maintenance Service Booklet for your vehicle.
Coolant level
With the engine switched off and on level ground, the level when cold must be between the MINI and MAXI marks
on reservoir 1.
Top this level up when cold before it reaches the MINI mark.

brake fluid
Level 1
It is normal for the level to drop as the brake shoes become worn, but it must never drop lower than the “MINI" warn- ing line.
If you wish to check the disc and drum wear yourself, you should obtain the document explaining the checking pro- cedure from the manufacturer ’s net- work or web site.
Topping up
After any operation on the hydraulic cir- cuit, a specialist must replace the brake fluid.
Only use fluids approved by our Technical Department (and taken from a sealed container).
Replacement interval
Refer to the Maintenance Service Booklet for your vehicle.
Brake fluid level
The level should be read with the engine switched off and on level ground.
This should be checked frequently, and immediately if you notice even the slightest loss in braking efficiency.
