speed by turning control 6 to increase 
or reduce the ventilation speed.
Adjusting the air temperature
Turn control  2 to obtain the desired 
temperature. 
Turning the control to the right in-
creases the temperature.
Special note: the maximum and mini-
mum settings allow the system to pro-
duce a minimum or maximum tempera-
ture (18°C and 26°C).

Automatic mode
The automatic climate control system 
guarantees comfort in the passen-
ger compartment and good visibility 
(except in the event of extreme condi-
tions), while optimising consumption. 
The system controls the ventilation 
speed, air distribution, air recirculation, 
and starting and stopping the air condi-
tioning and air temperature.
AUTO: allows the selected comfort 
level to be best attained, depending on 
the exterior conditions. Press button  1.

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.

–  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.
Reading the oil levelThe 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.
The instrument panel display only 
alerts the driver when the oil level is at 
its minimum.
It is normal for an engine to use oil for 
lubrication and cooling of moving parts 
and it is normal to top up the level be-
tween 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.

partment, the ignition must 
be switched off by pressing 
the engine stop button (please see 
the information on “Starting, stop-
ping the engine” in Section 2).
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.

Topping up/filling
The vehicle must be parked on level 
ground and the engine should be cold 
(for instance, before the engine is 
started up for the first time in the day).– 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 10 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 and that 
the cap is completely screwed in.

4.7
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.
Consult your approved dealer at 
once if you notice an abnormal or 
repeated drop in any of the fluid 
levels.
No operations should be 
carried out on the cooling 
circuit when the engine is 
hot.
Risk of burns.
Replacement interval
Refer to the Maintenance Document for 
your vehicle.
Coolant level
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.
