the rear bench seatback.
The luggage compartment cover is
made up of two rigid sections.
There are three possible positions:

LEVELS (1/3)
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. Topping 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.
1
Consult your approved dealer at
once if you notice an abnormal or
repeated drop in any of the fluid
levels.
Before performing any
action in the engine com-
partment, the ignition must
be switched off (please see
the information on “Starting, stop-
ping the engine” in Section 2).

TYRE INFLATION KIT (2/4)
Depending on the vehicle, in the event
of a puncture, use the kit located in the
glove box or in the luggage compart-
ment, in rear wheel arch C or D.
Before using this kit, park
the vehicle at a sufficient
distance from traffic, switch
on the hazard warning
lights, apply the handbrake, ask all
passengers to leave the vehicle and
keep them away from traffic.
If the vehicle is parked on the hard
shoulder, you must warn other road
users of your vehicle’s presence
with a warning triangle or with other
devices as per the legislation apply-
ing to the country you are in.
C
Vehicle fitted with a tyre pressure
loss warning system
If under-inflated (puncture, low pres-
sure, etc.), the warning light
lights up on the instrument panel.
See “Tyre pressure loss warning” in
Section 2.

– after a maximum of 15 minutes, stop inflating and read the pressure
(on the pressure gauge 2).
Note: while the bottle is emptying
(approximately 30 seconds), the
pressure gauge 2 will indicate briefly
a pressure of 6 bar, then the pres-
sure drops;
– Adjust the pressure: to increase it, continue inflation with the kit. To
reduce it, press the button 1.
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.
Engine running, parking brake ap-
plied:
– Refer to the information on the infla- tion kit compressor and follow the in-
structions;
– inflate the tyre to the recommended pressure (please refer to the infor-
mation in the section on “Tyre pres-

able to push from above.
Switch on the hazard warn-
ing lights.
Keep the vehicle away from
traffic and on a level surface
where it will not slip.
Apply the parking brake and engage
a gear (first or reverse, or P for auto-
matic transmissions).
Ask all the passengers to leave the
vehicle and keep them away from
traffic.
CHANGING A WHEEL (1/2)
Crank up jack 3 by hand to posi-
tion the jack head against the jacking
point closest to the relevant wheel and
marked by an arrow 1.
Continue to crank the jack so that the
baseplate is correctly positioned (it
should be underneath the vehicle and
aligned with the jack head).
Turn it a few times to lift the wheel off
the ground.
To prevent any risk of injury
or damage to the vehi-
cle, raise the jack until the
wheel you are replacing is
a maximum of 3 centimetres off the
ground.
If the vehicle is parked on
the hard shoulder, you must
warn other road users of
your vehicle’s presence
with a warning triangle or with other
devices as per the legislation apply-
ing to the country you are in.
If the vehicle is not equipped with a
jack or wheelbrace, you can obtain
these from your approved dealer.
