Engine oil level:
general description
Minimum oil level display A
If the level is above the minimum
level
The “oil level” message appears on the
display, accompanied by squares indi -
cating the level. These squares disap -
pear as the level drops and they are re-
placed by dashes.
To advance to trip computer reading,
press button 1 or 2 again. If the level is at the minimum
The message “adjust oil level” or “oil”
and the © warning light are dis
-
played on the instrument panel.
It is vital to top up the oil as soon as
possible.
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.
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 an approved Dealer if
more than 0.5 litres is being consumed
every 600 miles (1,000 km) after the
running in period.
o il change frequency: check the oil
level from time to time and certainly
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.
t he 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 minimum.

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 Document for
your vehicle. –
Unscrew cap 4;
– top up the level (as a guide, the ca-
pacity between the minimum and the
maximum reading on the dipstick 5 is
1.5 litres, depending on the engine);
– wait for approximately 10 minutes to
allow the oil to flow into the engine;
– check the level using dipstick 5 (as
described above).
Once the operation has been com -
pleted, ensure that the dipstick is
pushed in as far as it will go or that
the “cap-type dipstick” is completely
screwed in.
Do not exceed the max level and
do not forget to refit cap 4 and dip-
stick 5.

Brake fluid level
This should be checked frequently,
and immediately if you notice even the
slightest loss in braking efficiency.
The level should be read with the engine
switched off and on level ground. 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 our network or from the
manufacturer’s website. t
opping up
After any operation on the hydraulic cir-
cuit, a specialist must replace the fluid.
Only use fluids approved by our
Technical Department (and taken from
a sealed container).
Replacement intervals
Refer to the Maintenance Document for
your vehicle.
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.

Consult your approved dealer at
once if you notice an abnormal or
repeated drop in any of the fluid
levels.Deactivate the Stop and
Start function for any opera -
tion performed in the engine
compartment.

Coolant
The level when cold should be be -
tween the MINI and MAXI marks on the
coolant reservoir 2.
Top this level up when cold before it
reaches the MINI mark.
The level should be read with the engine
switched off and on level ground. Checking intervals
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:
–
antifreeze protection;
– anticorrosion protection of the cool -
ing system.
No operations should be
carried out on the cooling
circuit when the engine is
hot.
Risk of burns.
Replacement intervals
Refer to the Maintenance Document for
your vehicle.
Consult your approved dealer at
once if you notice an abnormal or
repeated drop in any of the fluid
levels.

It does not need to be serviced; never
open cover 1 on the battery.
Battery
Handle the battery with care
as it contains sulphuric acid,
which must not come into
contact with eyes or skin. If
it does, wash the affected area with
plenty of cold water. If necessary,
consult a doctor.
Ensure that naked flames, red hot
objects and sparks do not come into
contact with the battery as there is a
risk of explosion.
BA tteR y (1/2)
Depending on the vehicle, a system
continuously checks the battery charge
status.
When the ignition is off, some consum-
ers may also be switched off (dipped
beam headlights, radio, ventilation,
etc.). On the instrument panel, the
message “battery saving mode” or “batt
save” appears when they are switched
off . When the level is extremely low,
the message “low battery, start engine”
is displayed.
The charge status of the battery can
decrease, especially if you use your ve-
hicle:
– for short journeys;
– for driving in town;
– when the temperature drops, etc.;
– with the vehicle stopped and the
engine off.
The engine may be hot
during operations in close
proximity. In addition, the
engine cooling fan may
start at any moment.
Risk of injury.

plied,
– unscrew the valve cap on the wheel
concerned and screw the inflation
adapter 6 onto the valve;
– connect adapter 8 to the accessories
socket on the dashboard of the vehi-
cle;
– press switch 5 to inflate the tyre to
the recommended pressure (check
the label affixed to the edge of the
driver’s door);
– after a maximum of 5 minutes, stop
inflating and read the pressure (on
pressure gauge 4);
note: while the bottle is emptying (ap-
proximately 30 seconds), pressure
gauge 4 will briefly indicate a pressure
of 6 bar, then the pressure will drop.
– adjust the pressure: to increase
it, continue inflating with the kit, to
reduce it, turn button 7 located on
the inflation adapter.
If a minimum pressure of 1.8 bar is
not reached after 15 minutes, repair
is not possible; do not drive the ve-
hicle but contact an approved dealer.
Inflation kit E
Depending on the vehicle, in the event
of a puncture use the kit located in the
glove box, the front upper cab storage
compartment C or the boot, in the rear
wheel arch D.
Open the kit, remove caps 1 and 3 (it is
essential not to remove the cap from
the bottle) then screw bottle 2 to its
base 3.

Battery: troubleshooting (2/2)
Connect the positive (+) lead A to (+)
terminal 1 of the discharged battery,
then to (+) terminal 2 of the battery sup-
plying the current.
Connect the negative (–) lead B to (–)
terminal 3 of the battery supplying the
current and then to (–) terminal 4 of the
discharged battery.
Check that there is no contact between
leads A and B and that the positive (+)
lead A is not touching any metal parts
on the vehicle supplying the current.
Start the engine as normal. As soon as
it is running, disconnect leads A and B
in the reverse order (4-3-2-1)
the two batteries must have an iden-
tical nominal voltage of 12 volts. The
battery supplying the current should
have a capacity (amp-hours, Ah) which
is at least the same as that of the dis-
charged battery.
Ensure that there is no risk of contact
between the two vehicles (risk of short
circuiting when the positive terminals
are connected) and that the discharged
battery is properly connected. Switch
off your vehicle ignition.
Start the engine of the vehicle supply
-
ing the current and run it at an interme-
diate engine speed.
Special procedures may be required to charge some batteries. Contact
your approved dealer.
Avoid all risk of sparks which may cause an immediate explosion, and
charge the battery in a well-ventilated area. Risk of serious injury.

starting the vehicle using the
battery from another vehicle
If you have to use the battery from an-
other vehicle to start, obtain suitable
jump leads (with a large cross section)
from an approved dealer or, if you al -
ready have jump leads, ensure that
they are in perfect condition.
