LEVELS
Coolant
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.
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.
Replacement interval
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.
When working in the engine compartment, ensure that the windscreen wiper stalk is in the park position.
Risk of injury.
Before performing any action in the engine compartment, the ignition must be switched off (please see the information on “Starting, stopping the engine” in Section 2).
No operations should be carried out on the cooling circuit when the engine is hot.
Risk of burns.
Brake fluid
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.
Level 2
It is normal for the level to drop as the brake shoes become worn, but it must never drop lower than the “MINI" warning line.
If you wish to check the disc and drum wear yourself, you should obtain the document explaining the checking procedure from the manufacturer’s network or web site.
Topping up
After any operation on the hydraulic circuit, 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 Document for your vehicle.
Consult your approved dealer at once if you notice an abnormal or repeated drop in any of the fluid levels.
Please note when working close to the engine that it may be hot. The engine cooling fan may also start at any moment. The warning light in the engine compartment reminds you of this.
Risk of injury.
