AUTOMATIC GEARBOX (4/6)
Driving in manual mode
Driving in temporary manual mode
Temporary manual mode can only be
selected when automatic mode D has
been engaged and the vehicle speed
is over around 6 mph (10 km/h).
Once D engaged, move the selector 3:
– to the rear +, to request a higher gear;
– forwards -, to request a lower gear.
The gear selected is displayed to the
right of D on the instrument panel.
Special cases
Under certain driving conditions (e.g.
engine protection, electronic stability
program (ESP) operational etc.: ESC)
etc.) the system can change the gear
automatically.
The requested gear will be maintained
for a period set by the system, based
on the gradient and the driving style. The system will take over once this
period has elapsed
and may then trig-
ger an automatic gear change.
Likewise, to prevent incorrect manoeu-
vres, a gear change may be refused
by the system: in this case the gear dis-
play + or - flashes for a few seconds as
a warning, along with a beep.
Driving in permanent manual mode
Permanent manual mode can only be
selected when automatic mode D has
previously been engaged and the vehi-
cle speed is greater than around 6 mph
(10 km/h).
Once D engaged, move and hold the
selector 3 for around 1 second:
– to the rear + , to request a higher
gear;
– forwards - to request a lower gear. The gear engaged is first displayed to
the right of D on the instrument panel,
then
M followed by the gear engaged
appear under + once permanent
manual mode is activated.
To exit permanent manual mode and
return to automatic mode, move the se-
lector to D.
Any other request for an available gear,
P or R or N will exit permanent manual
mode.

AUTOMATIC GEARBOX (5/6)
Special cases
As position P is automatically en-
gaged when the engine is stopped, it is
sometimes necessary to place the vehi-
cle in position N for some car washes,
for example.
Position N can be engaged before
opening the driver’s door, and a maxi-
mum of around 25 seconds after the
engine is stopped.
After this time or after opening the
driver’s door, it will be necessary to turn
on the ignition again to disengage posi-
tion P.
In the event of a loss of in-
formation on the instrument
panel, stop and immobilise
the vehicle using the elec-
tronic parking brake or button P.
Special cases
In certain driving cases (eg: protect-
ing the engine), a gear change can be
performed automatically in the event of
over-revving or approaching under-rev-
ving. Permanent manual mode remains
activated. Similarly, to avoid making the
"wrong move", a gear change may be
refused by the gearbox. In this case,
the display for the requested gear + or –
flashes for a few seconds to warn you.
Parking the vehicleUpon stopping the engine by press-
ing the engine stop button, position P
is automatically engaged, along with
the electronic parking brake for vehi-
cles equipped with this device. P is dis-
played on the instrument panel and the
warning light on button P comes on.
Never leave the vehicle with
the engine running without
previously engaging the
Park position P.
With the engine running, the automatic
gearbox in D or R or N or M and with-
out your foot on the brake, messages
“P not engaged” and “Select P” are dis-
played on the instrument panel as soon
as the driver’s door is open.
With the engine stopped, the automatic
gearbox in N (neutral), the message “P
not engaged” is displayed on the instru-
ment panel.
Special feature related to the Stop and Start function: if you are going\
to unfasten the driver's seat belt before the
engine goes into standby due to the Stop and Start function, make sure t\
he gearbox is in position P. The P warning
light will light up on the instrument panel to confirm this. Risk of loss of immobilisation.

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.
This mode consists of a choice of three
programmes:
NORMAL : allows the selected comfort
level to be best attained, depending on
the exterior conditions. Press button 4
or key 9.
SOFT: reaches the desired comfort
level more gently and silently. Press
button 8.
FAST: increases the flow of air in the
passenger compartment. This mode
is recommended in particular to opti-
mise comfort in the rear seats. Press

Automatic usage
Press button 16 (a warning light comes
on in zone 14).
Manual use
Press button 5 to force air recirculation.
Prolonged use of this position may lead
to odours, caused by non-renewal of
air, and the formation of condensation
on the windows.
We advise you to return to automatic
mode as soon as air recirculation is no
longer needed, by pressing key 16 or
button 5 again.
To exit this function, press key 16 or
button 5 again.
Adjusting the distribution
of air in the passenger
compartment
Press buttons 12 to select the desired
distribution (a warning light is displayed
in zone 14):
ØThe air flow is mainly directed
to the demisting vents for the
windscreen and the side windows.
½The air flow is mainly directed
to the dashboard air vents.
¿The air flow is directed mainly
towards the footwells.
The demisting/de-icing will still take
priority over the air recirculation.

Air recirculation
This function is managed automatically
but you can also activate it manually.
Note:
– 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 exter- nal atmosphere to be cut off (when
driving in polluted areas, etc.) and
to cool the passenger compartment
temperature more quickly.

LEVELS (2/3)
Brake fluid level
This should be checked frequently, and
any time you notice even the slightest
loss in braking efficiency.
The level should be read with the engine
switched off and on level ground.Level 2
It is normal for the level to drop as
the linings become worn, but it should
never drop below the “MINI” warning
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.

Before performing any
action in the engine com-
partment, the ignition must

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. Vehicle fitted with a tyre pressure
monitoring system
In cases of under-inflation (puncture,
low pressure, etc.), warning light

lights up on the instrument panel.
Please refer to the information on the
“Tyre pressure monitoring system” in
Section 2.
