ices the windscreen, the rear screen,
the front side windows, and the door
mirrors (depending on the vehicle). The
air conditioning and rear screen de-ic-
ing functions must be activated.

to the dashboard air vents.
¿The air flow is directed mainly
towards the footwells.

Air recirculation (isolation of
the passenger compartment)
K
This function is managed automatically
(operation is confirmed by a warning
light on button 7), but you can also acti-
vate it manually.
NB:
– during recirculation, air is taken from the passenger compartment and
is recycled, with no air being taken
from outside the vehicle;
– air recirculation allows the external atmosphere to be cut off (when driv-
ing in polluted areas, etc.);
– the recirculation of air makes it pos- sible to reach the desired passenger
compartment temperature quicker.
1
The demisting/de-icing will still take
priority over the air recirculation.
Manual use
Press button 7 – the integrated indica-
tor light comes on.
Prolonged use of this position may lead
to odours, caused by non-renewal of
air, and the formation of condensation
on the windows.
We therefore advise you to return to au-
tomatic mode as soon as air recircula-
tion is no longer needed, by pressing
button 7.
To exit this function, press button 7
again. Stopping the system
Turn the control 6 to “OFF” to stop the
system. To start it, turn the control
6
again, then adjust the fan speed or
press the button 1.

Engine oil gradeRefer to the Maintenance Service
Booklet for your vehicle.
ENGINE OIL LEVEL: topping up, filling (2/2) OIL CHANGE
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.Please note when work-
ing 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 re-
minds you of this.
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.
Oil changeService interval: refer to the
Maintenance Service Booklet for your
vehicle.
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).

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" warn-
ing line.

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 Document 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.

Replacing the battery 1
As this operation is complex, we advise
you to contact an approved Dealer.
This is located under the bonnet and
does not need to be serviced. Yo u
should not open it or add any fluid. Label A
Observe the indications on the battery:

2 naked flames and smoking are for-
bidden;
– 3 eye protection required;
– 4 keep away from children;
– 5 explosive materials;
– 6 refer to the handbook;
– 7 corrosive materials.
BATTERY
2
Handle the battery with
care as it contains sulphuric
acid which must not come
into contact with the eyes
or skin. If it does, wash the affec-
ted 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.
The battery is a specific type, please ensure it is replaced with the same
type. Consult an approved dealer.

Open the driver’s door to read it.
Tyre pressures should be checked
when the tyres are cold.
If the tyre pressures cannot be checked
when the tyres are cold, increase the
pressures from 0.2 to 0.3 bar (or 3 PSI).
Never deflate a hot tyre.

The maximum speed must be lim-
ited to 60 mph (100 km/h) and the
tyre pressure increased by 0.2 bar.
Please refer to the information on
“Weights” in Section 6.

TYRE INFLATION KIT (2/4)
In the event of a puncture, use the kit
situated under the passenger footwell 1
by unscrewing the two screws 2.With the engine running and the
parking brake applied,
– Connect the compressor hose 4 to
the container inlet 9;
– remove the cap from the container inflation adapter 3;
– unscrew the valve cap on the rele- vant wheel and screw on the contai-
ner’s inflation adapter 3;
– disconnect any accessories pre- viously connected to the vehicle’s
accessories sockets;
– the end piece 7 must be plugged in
to the vehicle accessories socket;
563
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.
– press switch 5 to inflate the tyre to
the recommended pressure (please
refer to the information on “Tyre in-
flation pressure” in Section 4);
– after a maximum of 15 minutes, stop inflating and read the pressure (on
pressure gauge 6).
Note: While the container empties (approx. 30 secs), the pressure
gauge 6 briefly shows pressure up to
6 bar, then the pressure drops.
– Adjust the pressure: to increase it, continue inflation with the kit; to
reduce it, press button 8.

Tyre pressuresAdhere to the tyre pressures. The tyre
pressures should be checked at least
once a month and additionally before
any long journey (refer to the label af-
fixed to the edge of the driver’s door).
The pressures should be checked cold:
ignore higher pressures which may be
reached in hot weather or following a
high speed journey.Vehicle fitted with a tyre pressure
loss warning system
If under-inflated (puncture, low pressure
etc.), the warning light
 on the in-
strument panel comes on. See “Tyre
pressure loss warning” in Section 2.
Fitting new tyres
For safety reasons, this op-
eration must be carried out
by a specialist. Fitting differ-
ent tyres may change your
vehicle as follows:
– it may mean that your vehicle no longer conforms to current regu-
lations;
– it may change the way it handles when cornering;
– it may cause the steering to be heavy;
– it may affect the use of snow chains.
If the pressures cannot be checked
when the tyres are cold, increase the
pressures from 0.2 to 0.3 bar (or 3 PSI).
Never deflate a hot tyre.
Changing wheels around
TYRES (2/3)
Please be aware that a
poorly tightened or miss-
ing valve cap can make the
tyres less airtight and lead
to pressure loss.
Always use valve caps identical to
those fitted originally and tighten
them fully.
Incorrect tyre pressures
lead to abnormal tyre wear
and unusually hot running.
These are factors which
may seriously affect safety and lead
to:
– poor road holding,
– risk of bursting or tread separa- tion.
The pressure depends on the load
and the speed of use. Adjust the
pressure according to the condi-
tions of use (refer to the label affixed
to the edge of the driver’s door).
The front and rear wheels
have different dimensions.
For safety reasons, it is not
permitted to switch the front
wheels (tyres and/or rims) with the
rear wheels.
