push tab 2 in the direction of arrow A to
release the bonnet.
Opening the bonnetLift the bonnet; you will need to guide it
as it is held by a strut.
Closing the bonnet
Check that nothing has been left in the
engine compartment.
To close the bonnet again, hold the
bonnet in the middle and lower it to
30 cm above the closed position, then
release it. It will latch automatically
under its own weight.
The engine may be hot
during operations in close
proximity. In addition, the
engine cooling fan may
come on at any moment.
Risk of injury.In the event of even a slight
impact involving the radia-
tor grille or bonnet, have
the bonnet lock checked by
an approved Dealer as soon as pos-
sible.

Do not press down on the
bonnet: there is a risk that
the bonnet may accidentally
close.

An engine uses oil to lubricate and cool
moving parts and it is normal to top up
the oil between 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.
Oil change frequency: check the oil
level from time to time and certainly
before any long journey to avoid the
risk of damaging your engine.
ENGINE OIL LEVEL: general information
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.
Consult your approved dealer at
once if you notice an abnormal or
repeated drop in any of the fluid
levels.
In order to prevent splashback, it is
recommended that a funnel be used
when topping up/filling with oil.

– remove the dipstick and wipe with a clean, lint-free cloth;
– push the dipstick in as far as it will go (for vehicles equipped with a cap-
type dipstick C, screw the cap in as
far as it will go);
– take out the dipstick again;
– read the level: it should never fall below minimum mark A or exceed
maximum mark B.
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.
Exceeding the maximum
engine oil level
Under no circumstances
must the maximum fill
level B be exceeded: risk of damage
to the engine and catalytic con-
verter.
If the oil level exceeds the maximum
level, do not start your vehicle and
contact an approved Dealer.

– 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 20 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 or that
the “cap-type dipstick” is completely
screwed in.

Topping up/Filling
The vehicle must be parked on level

(for instance, before the engine is
started up for the first time in the day).
Do not exceed the max level and
do not forget to refit cap 1 and dip-
stick 2.

recommended that a funnel be used

Oil change
Service interval: refer to the
Maintenance Document for your vehi-
cle.
Oil change capacity
Please refer to the maintenance docu-
ment for your vehicle, or contact an au-
thorised dealer.
Always check the engine oil level using
the dipstick, as explained previously (it
should never fall below the minimum
level, or be over the maximum level on
the dipstick).
Engine oil grade
Refer to the Maintenance Document for
your vehicle.
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.
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.
Consult an approved dealer at once
if you notice an abnormal or re-
peated drop in any of the fluid levels.
The engine may be hot
during operations in close
proximity. In addition, the
engine cooling fan may
come on at any moment.

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
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 shown on brake fluid reser-
voir 1.
If you wish to check the disc and drum
wear yourself, you should obtain the
document explaining the checking pro-
cedure from the approved dealer net-
work or from the manufacturer’s web
site.

Coolant
With the engine switched off and on
level ground, the level when cold must
be between the MINI and MAXI marks
on reservoir 2.
Top this level up when cold before it
reaches the MINI mark.
No operations should be
carried out on the cooling
circuit when the engine is
hot.
Risk of burns.
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:
– protection against freezing;
– anti-corrosion protection of the cool- ing system.
Replacement intervals
Refer to the Maintenance Service
Booklet for your vehicle.
Consult an approved dealer at once
if you notice an abnormal or re-
peated drop in any of the fluid levels.

Batterie (X92 - Renault)

BATTERY
The battery 1 does not require any
maintenance.
As the battery is specific
to the vehicle (presence of
a ventilation pipe to expel
corrosive and explosive
gases), make sure that it is replaced
with a battery that enables this pipe
to be connected. Consult an ap-
proved Dealer.
Handle the battery with
care as it contains sulphu-
ric acid, which must not
come into contact with eyes
or skin. If it does, wash the affected
area with plenty of water and see a
doctor if necessary.
Ensure that naked flames, red hot
objects and sparks do not come into
contact with the battery as there is a
risk of explosion.
The charge status of your battery can
decrease especially if you use your ve-
hicle:
– for short journeys;
– for driving in town;
– when the temperature drops;
– after extended use of consumers (radio etc.) with the engine switched
off.
Replacing the battery
As this operation is complex, we advise
you to contact an approved Dealer.

Label A
Observe the indications on the battery:
– 2 Naked flames and smoking are for-
bidden;
