Brake fluid reservoir
Check the level regularly. If the warning light comes on when driving, stop immediately and contact an
approved dealer.
84V- 2LEVELS AND CHECKS*
As the synthetic brake fluid has anti-corrosion properties and maintains the correct braking characteristics irrespective of conditions use only the brake fluid recommended by the manufacturer (to be replaced every two years). These instructions, which must be followed, are given in the Maintenance Guide for your vehicle.Quality :see ÒAPPROVED RECOMMENDED LUBRICANTS Ó.
* According to specification.

Front and rear screen wash and headlamp wash reservoir.
For best cleaning results and for your safety, use products recommended by the manufacturer to avoid any damage to the windscreen wash circuit.
When topping up, fill slowly. Reservoir level The reservoir is fitted with a transparent tube (with the headlamp wash option).
To see the fluid level, cover the breather hole with your finger.
Unclip the cover, keeping your finger on the opening. The level can be seen through the tube.
85V- 2LEVELS AND CHECKS*
Power steering reservoir*
Check the level with the engine off. The level in the reservoir must be above the MINI mark and below the MAXI mark. The power steering pump must never operate without fluid (risk of seizing).* According to specification.

¥ S : Steering lock
To release the steering lock, turn the steering wheel slightly, without forcing it, at the
same time as turning the key.
¥ A : Accessories Allows operation of some electrical accessories (radio, electric windows, map rea-
ders, etc.). The battery charge light comes on. ¥ M : Ignition
The following warning lamps * should illuminate : ABS, preheating (Diesel), battery
charge, STOP, oil pressure, handbrake and brake fluid level, engine autodiagnosis,airbags, door closing. If any of these warning lamps do not illuminate, there is a malfunction. ¥ D : Starter Release the key as soon as the engine has started. Never operate the key with the
engine running (see ÒSTARTING THE ENGINEÓ).

Steering lock SWith the key removed and the steering lock engaged, the steering is loc- ked; the lock will engage in a number of positions of the steering wheel.The key can only be removed in the Sposition.
A The steering lock is released (by turning the key to position A, turning the
steering wheel slightly, if necessary).

65III-1STEERING LOCK-IGNITION-STARTER
WARNING
Never remove the ignition key before the vehicle has come to a complete stop. Never attempt to move the
vehicle without the engine running. If the engine is not running, the vehicleÕs steering and braking systemswill not be power-assisted (there is a risk of the steering lock engaging and the safety features not opera-ting). After parking, remove the ignition key and turn the steering wheel until the steering column locking peg engages.

Check that the gear lever is in neutral.
PETROL ENGINEStarting with the engine cold. Do not press the accelerator pedal. Operate the starter until the engine starts (not more than ten seconds).In very low temperatures, press the clutch pedal when operating the starter to ease starting of the engine. Release
the clutch pedal slowly.
DIESEL ENGINEStarting with engine cold
Turn the ignition key to position M(ignition, preheater) and wait until the preheater warning light goes out. Then
operate the starter until the engine starts. In very low temperatures, press the clutch pedal when operating the starter to ease starting of the engine. Release
the clutch pedal slowly. Note : Do not press the accelerator pedal during starting.
Starting with engine hot
Operate the starter. If the engine fails to start at the first attempt, repeat using the preheater. In all cases, if the engine stops or fails to start at the first attempt, wait a few seconds before operating the starter again. Note : The preheater warning lamp does not come on when the engine is hot.
Recommendation : It is not necessary to warm up the engine before starting off. Wait for the warning lamp to go out and then drive
off slowly, accelerating gently until the engine warms up.
66III-2STARTING THE ENGINE
CAUTION
Do not run the engine in an enclosed or poorly ventilated space.

ABS system*
This system increases safety by preventing the wheels from locking in the event of harsh braking or in conditions of poor grip. It enables the driver to maintain control of the steering.
The operating capacity of all the essential electrical elements of the ABS system is controlled by an electronic moni-
toring system both before and during driving. The ABS light comes on when the ignition is switched on, and should
go out after approximately two seconds. If the light does not go out, this indicates that the ABS is disconnected due
to a fault. Likewise, if the light comes on while driving, this indicates that the ABS is not operating. In both cases,
the normal braking system remains effective, as on a vehicle without ABS. However, to avoid the occurrence of other
faults with unknown consequences, the ABS should be inspected as soon as possible by an approved dealer.
It is still necessary to drive carefully on slippery surfaces (loose stones, snow, ice, etc.)..
67III-3BRAKES
Handbrake
The handbrake is operated by pulling the lever upwards. The greater the slope you are on, the greater the force that should be applied in pulling the
lever.
To ease the action of the handbrake lever, it is recommended that you press the brake pedal at the same time. As a precaution, 1st gear should be engaged in all cases. On steep slopes, you should also turn the wheels towards the kerb.
To release the handbrake, pressthe button while pulling the lever up, then
lower the lever to the fully down position.The warning light comes on if the handbrake is on or not fully released, with the ignition on.
* According to model or country.

5-speed gearbox
Reverse gear
Never select reverse gear before the vehicle is completely stationary.
For silent selection of reverse gear, the movement should be performed
slowly.

Air intake Make sure that the exterior air intake grille and intake chamber at the baseof the windscreen are kept clear(dead leaves, snow).
To ensure efficient heating to the rear seats, do not obstruct the air passa-ge under the front seats or the extra-ctors at the rear of the vehicle.
We recommend that a certain amount of air flow is maintained at alltimes.
70IV-1HEATING/VENTILATION
Air circulation
To maximise comfort, air should be well circulated through boththe front and back of the passen-ger compartment. Air vents The air vents have knurled wheels to open and close the airflow and grilles to direct the airflow (up/down, right/left).

Vehicles equipped with HDi engines can be supplied with automatic additional heating to increase your comfort.
It is normal to expect a certain emission of smoke and odour, particuliarly when the engine is idling or the vehicle is
stationary.
